Installation of inertial seat belts on a VAZ 2106

The procedure for dismantling and installing the front belts of the VAZ 2106

You should consider in detail the algorithm for replacing the front seat belts on a VAZ 2106 car. To do this, you need to prepare the following tools:

• flat screwdriver;
• wrench 17.

Each of these types of front belts must be removed from a VAZ 2106 in the following order:

Using a flat-head screwdriver, carefully pry and remove the decorative trim located on the top hinge mounting bolt.

New safety devices must be installed in reverse order. Installing a new coil can be somewhat difficult. To do everything correctly when carrying out work, it is necessary to ensure that the slot of the inertial reel releasing the retaining device web is positioned strictly horizontally in relation to it. If you suddenly installed the coil without following the specified rule, then in the future the mechanism may perform poorly.

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)

Procedure for dismantling and installing rear elements

Rear seat belts are generally more durable than front seat belts. But from time to time you have to replace them too.

When dismantling and installing these mechanisms at the rear, use the tools mentioned above. The procedure for dismantling them is as follows:

1. First, the rear seat backrest is removed.
2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the decorative covers of the mounting bolts at the top and bottom.
3. Then the bolts themselves are unscrewed along with the lower and upper fasteners.
4. Carefully remove the coil and guide.
5. To completely dismantle the old device, you need to insert it together with the hinge and guide into the slot in the rear pillar trim panel.

Then you can replace the old lock with a new one. To do this, you need to unscrew the mounting bolts and easily remove the old locks. Please note that this work is performed with the rear seat backrest removed. New rear security devices and locks are installed in exactly the reverse order.

An important stage in carrying out this type of work is checking the correct installation of the mechanisms. When moving smoothly, the belt should move freely, be easily secured in the lock, and when jerked, it should be sharply fixed in a certain position.

Thus, having the necessary tools at hand and following the detailed instructions, you can easily replace the safety mechanisms on your VAZ 2106 yourself.

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.

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.

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:

• a set of keys:
• screwdriver;
• inertial RB;
• fastenings;
• fasteners.

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

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.
