INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTE: The inspection can be done on the service drive.

Do this inspection by entering the vehicle through the rear passenger door; do not enter the vehicle by opening the rear hatch and do not fold down the third row seats.

Do not use any tools to try and maneuver the belt around the third row seat trim.

The area you will be working in may have sharp metal edges. To prevent injury, wear gloves to protect your hands.

Make sure the third row seats are in the upright position. If the third row seat belts are buckled, unbuckle them, and pull them straight up making sure they are fully retracted.

Compare the stitching on the seat belt with the edge of the third row side panel arm rest.
- If the seat belt stitching lines up with the edge of the third row arm rest as shown, the seat belt is Good.
- If the seat belt stitching DOES NOT line up with the edge of the third row arm rest, go to step REPAIR PROCEDURE.
