Testing Seat Belts

Testing Seat Belts

WARNING: Regularly check the condition of all belts. Replace seat belts if you notice any damage to the belt strap, fittings, retractor mechanisms, or buckles. Damaged seat belts may not operate properly in the event of a collision.

WARNING: When seat belts are not in use, they should be fully retracted and not hanging loose. If a seat belt does not fully retract, contact Fisker via the Fisker App.

There are three tests you should perform when checking seat belts:

  1. With the seat belt fastened, give the shoulder belt strap at the buckle a quick upward pull. The buckle should remain securely locked.

  2. With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the belt to its limit. Check that it unreels smoothly with no snatches or snags. Visually check the belt for wear. Allow the belt to retract, checking that retraction is smooth and complete.

  3. With the belt half unreeled, hold the strap and quickly try to pull more strap out. The mechanism must lock automatically and prevent further unreeling.

If a seat belt fails any of these tests, contact Fisker via the Fisker App immediately to have the seat belt replaced.
