Range Rover Evoque: Seat belt checks
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is not a
fault and the belt should be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts, wear to the webbing
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters and mounting
points.
- With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.
- With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
- Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact you Land Rover
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
