The latest models of cars are equipped with automatic seat belts. They are called automatic because they do not need to be hung on a bracket - the shoulder belt automatically snaps into place when the door is opened and the ignition key is removed.
To be able to get out in an emergency, there is a special emergency lever that releases the automatic system. Warning, it is also necessary to fasten the hand belt of the seat.
Automatic seat belts will not operate properly unless the manual belt is secured.
Most systems have a warning light and buzzer to indicate that the release lever is raised and the shoulder belts are disengaged.
Also, if you are repairing other parts of the car. If you disconnect the wires or remove parts of the automatic seat belts, then after completing the repair, be sure to reinstall everything and check the operation of the electrical wiring. Since automatic shoulder seat belts are activated by several electrical switches and are controlled by a computer, their diagnosis and repair should be performed by a specialist.
