What are the reasons for seat belts not retracting?
1 Answers
Seat belts not retracting can be caused by: 1. The upper slider of the seat belt being too close to the B-pillar, causing misalignment between the belt in the slider and the belt in the retractor box, leading to jamming during automatic retraction; 2. The lower roller not immediately returning to its position; 3. Debris in the friction area between the B-pillar seat belt buckle and the belt; 4. Damage to the seat belt buckle. The function of seat belts is to instantly tighten during vehicle collisions or emergency braking, securing the occupant firmly in the seat to prevent secondary collisions by eliminating slack in the belt.
