Because it is difficult to visually determine if one or more belt tensioners has been triggered, check the following points:
- Using the PIWIS Tester 9718, read out the fault memory.
- Check plug connection on the belt tensioner for damage.
- Pull out the belt strap as far as possible and check for wear.
- Perform a function test on the automatic belt device.
