Seat belt no longer retracts? That's it!

What can be the reason if the seat belt can no longer be rolled up automatically? A question that comes up more and more frequently, especially with older vehicles. The often simplest answer, the Safety belt is twisted. During use, the seat belt can become twisted over time. In this case, you should release the twist to reactivate the automatic roll-up mechanism. Also check whether the belt is twisted in the area of ​​the pulley, i.e. behind the guide in the B-pillar. Another common cause is a Seat adjustment with a defect. The broken seat adjuster prevents the seat from being adjusted to the desired seating position.

dirt can also become a problem

Or maybe she is automatic winding device defective? In this case, the seat belt will no longer retract automatically. Have the device repaired immediately. In fact, in the event of an impact, it also locks the seat belt to prevent the occupant from being thrown from the seat or hitting the steering wheel. The last possibility known to us is yet to come Schmutz under consideration. Sticky residue on the webbing can sooner or later prevent the belt from winding properly. How to clean the belt is explained in our article "How to clean the seat belt in the vehicle!" described in detail.
