Seat belt guide and retainer
To assist with both access and
positioning of the front seat belt webbing,
a guide-retainer is incorporated into each
front seat.
When the front seat back is tilted forward
to gain access to the rear of the vehicle it
is recommended that the seat belt is
removed from the guide.
On returning the front seat back to the
upright position ensure that the seat belt
is returned to the seat belt guide.
Inertia reel mechanism test
• 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 webbing to the limit of its travel.
Check that the unreeling is free from
snatches and snags and then allow
the belt to fully retract.
• Partially unreel the webbing, then
hold the tongue plate and give it a
quick forward pull. The mechanism
must lock automatically and prevent
any further unreeling.
If a seat belt should fail any of these
tests, contact your Jaguar Dealer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
The belt reminder feature provides
additional reminder to the driver that an
occupant’s seat belt is unbuckled. A
chime will sound intermittently.
Note: Not all countries have the warning
chime.
Seat belt warning
A warning indicator on the
instrument panel is illuminated
when:
• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• A passenger is sitting in the front seat
and their seat belt is not fastened.
In some countries a warning signal
sounds for six seconds.
