Q: What should be checked for damage and wear in seat belts, buckles, latch plates, and guide loops?
A: Scan the interior to inspect for any visible evidence of physical harm on the belt straps, locks, anchor brackets and directional guide loops. You should examine to make sure that the screws attaching the seatbelts pins to the vehicle floor are securely fastened. Be certain also that switching on the ignition key to either RUN or START results in both a chime and an illuminated seatbelt reminder.
