Fastening rear seat belts VAZ 2112

Rear seat belt function

The main purpose of seat belts (SB) is to provide reliable protection for the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. You should fasten your seat belt before you start driving, including when moving around the city. Not only the driver, but also the passengers must buckle up.

Unbelted rear passengers create an additional threat to the life of the driver and themselves in the event of emergency braking.

There are rules for using RB:

1. You cannot fasten several passengers with one seat belt;
2. It is prohibited to restrain a child sitting in the arms of a rear passenger;
3. There should be no objects between the person’s body and the belt that could
4. injure the body in emergency situations;
5. The RBs should be smooth, without twisted places, and well tensioned.

Large amounts of clothing create bulk, which reduces protection.

For the rear seats, as well as for the front ones, three-point, self-winding RBs are installed. They are mounted on the side of the body. In the middle of the rear seat there is only a two-point lap belt, the length of which can be set manually. You can install rear non-inertial RBs, but they are inconvenient to use, since they have to be wound up manually each time.

We change it ourselves

If the RBs experienced a shock load during an accident, they must be replaced along with the winding device. The service life of these products on the VAZ 2106 is 10 years. During operation, belts rub, fray and stretch, so it is necessary to monitor their condition. They must be clean, elastic, without damage or abrasions. If defects are found, parts should be replaced.

A set of necessary tools

To install the RB on a VAZ 2106, you need to prepare:

1. a set of keys:
2. screwdriver;
3. inertial RB;
4. fastenings;
5. fasteners.

You should buy RB in a vertical version. True, you will have to suffer a little with their installation.

How to install rear seat belts on a VAZ 2106 yourself?

A car is a place where a person is often in danger. Therefore, modern cars are equipped with various systems and means that increase the safety of the driver and passengers. These devices include seat belts. In early versions of VAZ 2106 cars, rear belts were not installed at the factory, although fastenings were provided for them. The article describes: the purpose of rear seat belts, how to install them yourself on a VAZ 2106.

Troubleshooting seat belt problems

At the very beginning, it is worth making a reservation that driving with a malfunctioning safety device is not only costly (after all, valiant traffic inspectors are not asleep and will happily issue you a fine for such an offense), but most importantly, it is life-threatening.

Of course, if the seat belt breaks, you can contact a specialized service station, where specialists will quickly and efficiently carry out repair work. However, you can do this yourself, and with the help of our tips it will be completely easy and simple.

Stages

Installing rear seat belts on a VAZ 2106 consists of the following steps:

First you need to open the trunk of the car.

Open car trunk Next, we find a suitable hole in the side wall of the VAZ 2106 body, which is provided from the factory. We drill the hole to the bolt with a “10” thread.

Enlarged hole for bolt thread

• Next, you need to insert the bolt into the hole and screw it as tightly as possible with a nut. In this case, a large washer should be placed on the cab side so that the bolt head does not cut into it.
• We put the RB coil on the bolt and secure it with two nuts: internal and external.

  
  We attach the coil to a bolt. If everything is done correctly, then there will be a factory technological hole above the coil. The strap should be threaded through this hole.

  
  RB freely exits their technical holes

• We check the functionality of the device. The strap should move freely.
• Next you need to install the rear shelf. After installation, the belt will be a little pinched and difficult to move. To release the strap, you need to make the appropriate cutouts.

  
  Slots in the shelf for RB

• The second seat belt is installed in the same way.

After installing the rear boosters, you should check their correct operation. To fasten the RB, it should be pulled out smoothly without jerking. It is necessary to ensure that it does not twist anywhere. Next, you need to insert the tongue located at the end of the strap into the lock until it clicks. Then you need to tug on the latch to make sure it is securely fastened in the lock. When moving smoothly, the strap should pull out freely without delay. When jerking, it should not move. The belt is unfastened by pressing the lock button.


Result of RB installation

Thus, the VAZ 2106 car is equipped with rear inertial seat belts that were not installed from the factory. You can optionally install a middle waist strap. This completes the installation of the rear RBs. If the straps become dirty during the operation of the car, they can be washed, but do not use chemicals (washing powders, alcohol, etc.), but after a load in the event of sudden braking, it is better to replace them with new ones.

Don't neglect the safety belt and always wear your seat belt, even if the trip is short. This will reduce the risk of life-threatening injuries. It’s no wonder that wearing a seat belt is mandatory in many countries, and failure to comply with this rule results in a fine.

Effect of frost

Sometimes the seat belt latch may not work due to extreme cold. This will not require changing any parts. In some older vehicles, the insulation of the mechanism may not be sufficient. This causes the belt to jam.

In this case, the oil that lubricates the system becomes thicker in the cold. You will have to disassemble the coil and lubricate its elements with a special substance. It must be frost resistant. This, for example, could be silicone grease or lithol.

In some cases, the situation can be corrected by bending the metal “claw” of the ball mechanism at a smaller angle. When the coil is positioned vertically, the retainer should not come into contact with the gear teeth. This should only happen when the bobbin is tilted.

These simple steps will prevent the squib from accidentally firing. Otherwise, you may be injured during the repair process.

The coil housing needs to be opened. Most likely, the spring of the tape return mechanism has failed. This element can be replaced. It will be easier to get it out than to install it in its original place.

Replacing front and rear seat belts on a VAZ 2106

If you are involved in an accident, then after it you will not only have to carry out body repairs, but also change the deployed airbags along with the belts, or only the latter, since your car may not have airbags.
But even if you have never been in an accident in your entire driving experience, seat belts (SB) can become unusable, simply wearing out and losing strength over many years of service, after which they need to be replaced with new ones. Below you will learn how to do this on a VAZ-2106 car. Content:

You will need a minimum of tools: a flat-head screwdriver and a 17mm wrench or socket wrench. Well, a new belt and its lock, of course.

The diagram shows the location of the belt: number 1 is the reel, number 2 is the belt itself, 3 is the latch, and 4 is the loop.

What does a jammed belt mean?

If the seat belt does not pull out of the installation socket, it is most likely jammed. To understand what this means, you first need to understand how it works. When the belt does not extend, this indicates a failure of the locking mechanism or that the belts were jammed as a result of an accident. But first, let's look at the principle of operation.

Vehicle seat belt

Inside the blocking device there is a sensitive element responsible directly for blocking, which is made in the form of a ball. This ball, moving through a system of levers, clings to the body of the coil gear. If the belt is retracted too quickly, the spool disc puts more force on the screw surface, thus blocking the ball.

If the lock is jammed and cannot be turned off, this means that over time the security mechanism has begun to function incorrectly.

In such cases, the strap does not retract and cannot be turned off in any way. In such cases, even an attempt to slowly latch the element may not help - it simply jams and no longer retracts, does not work.

The inertial block is not just screwed to the shelf, there is some kind of reinforced plate under the shelf, but this fastening is located closer to the side arch.

The second end of the inertial coil is attached as in photo 4

The latch (third point) is attached under the seat in photo 1.2 (right strap), the left strap is for the middle passenger (two-point belt)

Replacing front and rear seat belts on a VAZ 2106

If you are involved in an accident, then after it you will not only have to carry out body repairs, but also change the deployed airbags along with the belts, or only the latter, since your car may not have airbags.
But even if you have never been in an accident in your entire driving experience, seat belts (SB) can become unusable, simply wearing out and losing strength over many years of service, after which they need to be replaced with new ones. Below you will learn how to do this on a VAZ-2106 car. Content:

You will need a minimum of tools: a flat-head screwdriver and a 17mm wrench or socket wrench. Well, a new belt and its lock, of course.

Replacing front seat belts on a VAZ 2106

The diagram shows the location of the belt: number 1 is the reel, number 2 is the belt itself, 3 is the latch, and 4 is the loop.

1) Take a screwdriver and use it to carefully pry the cover on the hinge mounting bolt.

2) Remove the trim, being careful not to damage its clips.

3) Take the key and unscrew the bolt that secures the RB hinge.

4) After removing the hinge, try to put it somewhere in a visible place so that the small parts associated with it do not get lost.

5) Arm yourself with a screwdriver again and remove the cover, but this time on the coil.

6) Unscrew its mounting bolt, being careful not to lose the washer and spacer.

7) Remove the coil.

Take the new belt and install it in place of the old one.

After installation, it is important to check the smooth movement of the belt so that it can be pulled out and retracted without hindrance. If there are problems with this, you need to adjust the position of the reel so that the slot in it is horizontal in relation to the belt, and not at an angle.

You also need to check whether the reel is defective: normally, when jerking, the belt should not move, but when pulling smoothly, on the contrary, it should. If the coil does not work normally, it should be exchanged for another one at the store.

Usually, along with the belt, its lock, located between the front seats, also changes.

To replace it you should:

• Remove the cover on the mounting bolt.

• Unscrew the bolt, removing the sleeve and washer, after which the lock will be removed.
• Install a new lock.

How to repair seat belts of a VAZ-2110 car

All vehicles must be equipped with seat belts. And although in the VAZ-2110 the manufacturer made them as functional and wear-resistant as possible, this part is also not protected from breakdowns.

Possible problems:

• the belt jams and does not want to come out of the groove, both when pulled out sharply and when trying to pull it out slowly;
• the reel feeds the strap slowly, does not release it at all, or cannot place it in the technological space allocated for this;
• problems arise with the belt coming out from its seat, especially at sub-zero air temperatures;
• The lock does not hold the straps.

Most often, the causes of breakdown are mechanical defects that can be easily fixed on your own. However, it is worth considering that the manufacturer categorically does not recommend repairing elements of the driver/passenger protection system outside of service centers. Amateurish repairs can cause deterioration in the functionality of the belt and its failure to fulfill its tasks in a critical situation on the road.

Belt diagnostics

If, while using a seat belt in a VAZ car, the driver feels something is wrong, you need to check the quality of the device. What does that require?

• Make sure the belt feeds correctly. You need to check whether it is initially twisted. If the belt runs unevenly, it may well jam.
• Pull the belt out completely, straighten it and release it, checking that it is completely assembled. If this does not happen, you need to check the condition of the belt, blocker, and perhaps you need to clean out any debris or foreign bodies that are preventing the belt from working properly.
• Look at the fasteners. The belt must be tightly secured. A common problem in VAZ-2110 cars is rusting of the belt attachment points to the body. If there are already traces of corrosion, you need to thoroughly clean them or replace the rust-affected segments.

A dirty belt can be washed with soapy water. If you cannot clean it with this product, you can try more aggressive cleaning agents or completely replace this component, because Excessive contamination will not have the best effect on the functionality and safety of the belt.

When is it necessary to change the seat belt on a VAZ-2110

It is recommended to replace the safety element:

• If the threads are broken, there are problems with the tape, the loops on the edge of the belt are deformed, or there are cuts/holes in the tape.
• In case of weak fixation or, conversely, strong blocking of the belt buckle, if the unlock button fails, if noticeable defects or cracks appear on the buckle, and also when it is not possible to get the belt out without extreme efforts.

In order not to miss the moment when the belt loses its functionality, you need to periodically check its integrity and proper operation.

Belt removal and repair

Removing the seat belt completely may cause it to fail. It is advisable that this work be carried out in special service centers. The order of work will be approximately as follows:

• The safety coil is removed. To do this, the seats are moved forward all the way and the backs are lowered.
• If disassembly starts from the spring side, it must be done very carefully, because This part can seriously cut your hands.
• The cover can only be removed in a horizontal position. It is necessary to remove 4 pistons (carefully so that the contents of the box do not fall out).

• To get to the ratchet, you need to disassemble the coil. Here, too, you need to be careful not to accidentally deform it. The ratchet will have a rectangular design with a tab. The technological ball is the main component of the belt locking, which is produced when the angle of inclination of the reel block is changed.
• Then you should check the parts that rub against each other. A lump of lubricant most often forms between them, which it is advisable to remove. Often it is this clot that interferes with the proper operation of the structure.
• When the system is disassembled, all mechanisms need to be treated with fresh lubricants. It is advisable to choose products that can withstand low temperatures.
• To make the belts stretch and gather better, you can adjust the copper tab that interacts with the metal ball. As a rule, in these products the ball unbends the leg after some time, reducing the effectiveness of the safety system. By slightly bending it back, you can increase the productivity of the structure. After this, you need to make sure that the coil does not stop working when tilted.

If the main part of the parts shows signs of scuffs and severe wear, it is better not to replace each part, but to replace the entire module assembly.
