Chevrolet 96064941 Front Driver Side Seat Belt Assembly (Blue)

Check the seatbelts, buckles, latch plates and guide loops for any obvious damage or signs of wear. Make sure the seatbelt reminder light comes on when the key is turned to the On or Start positions. A chime should also sound. The seatbelts are designed to lock up during a sudden stop or impact, yet allow free movement during normal driving. Make sure the retractors return the belt against your chest while driving and rewind the belt completely when the buckle is unlatched. If any of the above checks reveal problems with the seatbelts, replace parts as necessary. Many late model vehicles are equipped with automatic front seat shoulder harnesses. They're termed automatic because you don't have to buckle them the shoulder harness automatically positions itself when the door is closed and the key is turned on. An emergency release lever allows the harness to be manually removed for exit in an emergency. Most systems have a warning light and buzzer that indicate the emergency release lever has been pulled up, releasing the shoulder harness. Make sure the release lever is down and the light/buzzer are off to ensure proper operation of the automatic shoulder harness. Also, if you disconnect any wires or remove any automatic shoulder harness components when performing repair procedures on other vehicle components, be sure to reinstall everything and check the harness for proper operation when the repairs are complete. Since the automatic shoulder harness is operated by several electrical switches and is computer controlled, diagnosis and repair must be done by a dealer service department. Do not jeopardize the safety of front seat occupants-if the automatic shoulder harness malfunctions, or you have questions regarding the proper use or operation of the system, contact a dealer service department.
