How to install rear seat belts on a VAZ 2106 yourself

How to install the rear belts

To do this, you need to remove the back and rear seat, remove the rear parcel shelf by bending the clips. On the side there is a threaded connection for the seat belt reel bracket bolt.

This is where the coil with bracket is installed.

After this, the rear shelf is installed in place and the straps are threaded through the holes.

Then a loop is installed in place of the bolt with a plug in the side wall.

Seat belt buckles are installed in the corresponding threaded connections under the rear seat.

All that remains is to secure the “third point” in the threaded connection on the fender liner.

All that remains is to install the rear seat and backrest.

Replacing the coil

In some cases, do-it-yourself seat belt repair requires completely replacing the reel. If after these steps the tape still does not come out of the reel, this action most likely cannot be avoided.

Typical signs when the coil should be replaced are the absence of changes after cleaning this system. If, after taking it out and lubricating it with a new substance, as well as bending the metal tab, the belt still does not come out, you need to purchase a new mechanism.

For each brand of car it is necessary to select its own special type of device. Therefore, it is necessary to show the old reel in the store. This will allow you to choose the right mechanism.

GAZ 31 @ Tyu-Len — “yy-yy” @ › Logbook › Installing rear passenger seat belts

This question has been worrying some of the minds of Volga drivers since the removal of the latter in the 24th models until the moment of their return from March 2005. The issue becomes aggravated when the volgovodnik has a family and a volgovodik, who, it seems, needs to be transported using some kind of device, but, as they say, everything in order! And so we have: 1) Traffic Regulations clause 22.9 Transportation of the young population of Raska “22.9. Transportation of children is permitted provided that their safety is ensured, taking into account the design features of the vehicle. Transportation of children under 12 years of age in vehicles equipped with seat belts must be carried out using child restraints appropriate for the weight and height of the child, or other means that allow the child to be fastened using seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle, and in the front seat passenger car - only with the use of child restraints. It is prohibited to transport children under 12 years of age on the back seat of a motorcycle.” 2) A document according to which Volga cars were NOT EQUIPPED with rear seat belts until March 2005

a document taken from Olgaz or something like that 3) Making changes to the design of a car must be properly registered and verified by US, which in practice is impossible, and otherwise it is punishable as alteration of the design with all that it implies.

Thus, to transport minor citizens of the Russian Federation in a Volga car until March 2005, in the rear passenger seats according to paragraph 1 (i.e. traffic rules), we only need the minor passenger himself, because The Volga is not equipped with seat belts for rear passengers, as evidenced by point 2, and no one gave me any right to install these same belts on my own, and in general such re-equipment is not legal.

However, valiant employees often don’t care about the laws, and “getting into trouble,” especially with children in the rear passenger seats, is not particularly difficult. They will be reluctant to listen to you, but they can draw up a protocol as “hello”, and in our court it is even more difficult to prove that you are not a dolphin. In addition, thoughts about safety come to mind and the fact that in all Volga cars (which I saw: 24, 31029, 3102, 3110, 31105) there are built-in niches and nuts for installing these ill-fated belts, my hands are itching to file them there.

So, the decision remains with the Volgovodians whether to bet or not. Personally, I installed it, and now I’ll describe the process =)

And so the sequence is as follows: 1) We buy inertial belts, any will do, as long as the latch is also on the belt, and not on an iron plate. I got the rear ones from 31105 2006

2) Remove the sofa on which the rear passengers sit. To do this, lift the edge of the sofa and pull it forward in the direction of travel of the car. off the sofa 3) Unscrew the backrests of the rear passengers' seats. To do this, we climb into the trunk and unscrew the 2 nuts that hold them. off the backrests 3) Pull out the rubber door seal in the doorway as shown in the previous photo and carefully peel the ceiling off the pillar. There may be foam rubber under the ceiling (like mine). Having felt the niches, we peel off the foam rubber around them. In order to secure the inertial unit in the niche you will need a plate, but I didn’t have one and I simply drilled 2 holes under the niche in the body with a 10 drill, and drilled out the standard holes on the body of the inertial belt unit with an 8 drill to tighten it all down bolts 8. 4) Next, we cut through the ceiling approximately at the level of the rear parcel shelf, in order to pass the belt from the rack into the interior, this must be done carefully, especially if there are no decorative trims to cover the slots. Well, we pull the entire belt through the resulting technological hole. Then you need to find a hole in the rack for the bolt and pierce the ceiling in this place, for example with a screwdriver. Next, we screw the eyelet on which the belt slides into the rack into the identified threaded hole. With the rear pillar done, you can pull the ceiling back, securing it with the doorway seal. It should look like in the photo 5) Directly under the armrest there are rubber clips that cover the threads, take them out and screw on the belt latches. There are also threaded holes under the rear pillars where the ends of the belts are screwed. under the armrest 6) Putting everything back in place and radumso =) wow, wow, wow

Addition! One point was missed when installing the belts. The bolts were welded to the inertial block so as not to break the fingers when tightening them; in principle, if desired, you can do without welding. Everything is shown in the photo

Repair process

Now that we have dealt with the signals and reasons for blocking a fastened and unfastened seat belt, let’s move on to the repair process. Cleaning seat belts is one of the main tasks in this process, so we will consider this procedure separately. So, what should you do if you receive a signal that the lock is jammed? How can I clean it or turn it off? You will learn more about this below.

Tools

To disable the lock if a corresponding signal appears, the entire mechanism will need to be cleaned. To do this, you need to thoroughly prepare in advance and collect all the necessary tools. so what to prepare:

• a Phillips screwdriver, preferably a short one;
• flat head screwdriver;
• a wrench set to “17”, it will be more convenient to use a socket wrench;
• stationery pin;
• syringe with tube;
• some gasoline (lighter fuel is ideal).

Step by step instructions

When the entire list of tools is ready, you can begin repairing and cleaning.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screws that secure the strap protection. If the lock is not working, pull the strap out to its full length and secure it with a clothespin. Take a wrench and remove the screw that secures the element coil. The screw must be removed from its installation location. To prevent the element from starting to unwind, you can attach it directly to the same spool using the same clothespin. In any case, in order to disable and clean the lock, it must be locked to make further actions easier. Put the reel aside and sit in the next seat. To disable and clean the lock, you will need to find the lid behind which the inertial device is hidden. As a rule, it is slightly thicker in design. Shake the coil - under which cover you hear the noise - under that one it is located. Now to dismantle the protective cover you will need to remove four plastic pistons. This can be done using a slotted screwdriver or a thin knitting needle. The pistons should be supported by hand so that they do not fly out and you do not have to look for them and collect them throughout the cabin. Then pry up the cover with a screwdriver and remove it. Set the lid aside. Your view will now be presented with the first mechanism of the component. It is a kind of box with a cylinder and thus a locking ball and a so-called rocker inside, which jams the lock. This mechanism can be dismantled freely from the installation site. Check the functionality of this rocker - ideally it should move freely along the axis of rotation. This device should be positioned vertically with the top angled toward the locking ball. One way or another, the rocker arm must be positioned vertically so that it does not jam. If you feel that the so-called rocker arm does not move freely, then you need to clean its rotation axis. Pour some gasoline and rinse the device until it rotates freely on the axis, without the slightest jamming. Now let's move on to the second, inertial device. It is located under the gear, made of plastic and in most cases made of steel

The gear comes off freely, so remove it

Note the center of the serrated hole. It contains an eccentric with teeth

It is these teeth that jam the strap when it is suddenly pulled out. The space under this very eccentric needs to be cleaned. Pour a little prepared gasoline around the entire perimeter of the hole, add a little fuel to the center. At the same time, hold the strap, preventing it from winding up, for which you can temporarily remove the clothespin. Make sure that the liquid gets into all parts of the element, otherwise cleaning it will be useless. Take the dismantled spool with one hand so that the plastic guide along with the spring can be supported with one finger. Using your other hand, pull and wrap the safety element several times. Also pull it a few times until the device itself engages. Next, hook it on the reel one more time. These steps should be repeated several times.

At this point, the cleaning process of the mechanism can be considered complete. You should carry out all further assembly in reverse order. Do everything correctly, because an incorrectly assembled mechanism will cause breakdowns in the near future with regular use of the straps.

Fine for an unbelted driver

If a person driving a car does not wear a seat belt and is caught red-handed by a traffic police officer, then as of 2022, he will be forced to pay a fine of 1 thousand rubles. You can check the exact information in Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Such a violation of traffic rules is recorded when the driver of any type of car, passenger car or truck, which can be driven on a public road, is not protected by a special belt, as indicated in the instructions.

Fine for an unbelted passenger

Since pedestrians and passengers in most cases have not graduated from driving schools or passed exams on knowledge of traffic rules, they are not aware of many of them and, in addition, do not think about their own safety.

There are reasons for this:

1. They did not memorize all the traffic rules, like people who took their license.
2. They don't have any special IDs.
3. They do not drive a car that is considered a source of increased danger.
4. They practically never encounter traffic police officers.

However, the norms of the Code of Administrative Offenses and Traffic Regulations establish provisions that protect the lives of both people in the car and those walking along the street. Therefore, if a traffic police officer sees that a passenger is sitting in a passing vehicle and he is not protected by a belt, then by law he can fine him 500 rubles. The amount of the fine is the same in all cases.

Moreover, it can be written out not only if a person was driving unprotected by a seat belt in the second row of seats in a car, but even if he was traveling in a taxi or on an intercity bus.

Design and operating principle

The design of the protective device in question is represented by a retractor reel, a lock and a tape. High-strength material is used to make the tape; this element is fixed to the body in several zones as follows:

• in the area of ​​special traction with a lock;
• on the counter;
• in the threshold area.

The main purpose of the lock, in turn, is to lock the belt. This element is located near the seat. A movable tongue made of durable metal simplifies the operation of the belt; it is located directly on the belt. You can find a retractor coil on the car body pillar. Its purpose is to forcefully wind and unwind the tape. The design of the retractor reel provides for the presence of an inertial locking mechanism, due to which, in the event of a sudden stop, the movement of the belt is stopped and the person remains in a fixed position, not being able to go into free flight through the windshield.

The principle of operation is nothing complicated: the action of a coil with a blocker is based on a gear mechanism that rotates it. The closing of this mechanism occurs through a pendulum; it can have a ball or spheroid support with a lever system.

Smooth unwinding of the tape promotes rotation of the support along with the reel gear, while sudden tension leads to blocking of the flywheel.

Fine for not wearing a seat belt in the back seat

If the design of the car provides that passengers located in the rear seats of the vehicle can fasten seat belts, but they do not do this, then this is classified as disregard for traffic rules. If this fact is discovered by a traffic police officer, the violator will have to spend 500 rubles from his own pocket. You can check this point in Article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. But depending on the circumstances, instead of a fine, only a warning in written or oral format may be applied.

If a car has seat belts installed on all seats, then no matter where the passenger sits, he must fasten them. If this rule is violated, then a fine will be collected not only from the fellow traveler, but also from the person who was driving the car. Moreover, the second one will cost twice as much. This is indicated in Article 12.6 of the Administrative Code.

Reference! Traffic police officers cannot issue a fine or draw up a report on a person who is under 18 years of age.

Fine for wearing a seat belt over the top

There are still disputes among car owners about the correctness of fastening a seat belt. For example, the belt is passed only over the head and the lumbar strap is omitted.

This situation is not explained in detail in the traffic rules. Although in the case of child car seats or other child restraint structures, it is indicated that everything must be done in accordance with the instruction manual.

As for motorists, if their body is clearly secured with a special strap and the instrument panel indicates that the belt is fastened, then there is in fact no administrative violation.

But the law in this case is clearly not on the side of the drivers. Most often, people have to incur financial losses to pay off the fine.

Diagnostic device

If the seat belt does not extend, a high-quality auto scanner can show the cause of the breakdown. Experts recommend purchasing high-quality devices from trusted manufacturers. This will allow you to accurately determine the cause of the presented breakdown.

In addition, the auto scanner will be able to detect many other faults. Moreover, the program can be installed on a smartphone. The use of such devices will save money. There is no need to visit specialized services and perform expensive maintenance.

Having examined why the seat belt does not extend, you can replace or repair the mechanism yourself. In this case, you will not need to visit a service center and pay for expensive repairs of the presented system.

Is there a discount on the fine?

The only option to incur the cost of repaying a fine in a smaller amount is to pay it immediately. If you do this before the expiration of 20 days from the date of registration of the decision on violation of the traffic rules, then its cost will be halved. That is, when paying off a fine in the first days, a discount of 50% is provided in accordance with Article 1 of Law No. 437-FZ of December 22, 2014.

If a person does not agree with the legality of the issued decision, then he has 10 days to appeal it. This is stated in Article 30.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. If this action was not taken, then a specific period is allotted for payment of the fine - 2 months. Starting from the 21st day you will have to pay the full cost.

Who pays the fine for a passenger not wearing a seat belt?

The traffic rules in paragraph 2.1.2 as of 2022 state that in a moving car, all people in it must wear a seat belt. And the person at the helm and all the other passengers. Failure to comply with this provision will result in administrative liability.

However, paragraph 5.1 states that passengers should protect themselves with a seat belt only if they are provided in the transport itself. Thus, if a person did not use them, but they are there, then a fine or a warning may be presented for the first time.

In 2022, if a passenger in a moving vehicle is not wearing a seatbelt, then not only he, but also the driver is to blame. But for these two categories of persons the amount of the fine is different. According to Article 12.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the person driving will incur monetary costs in the amount of 1 thousand rubles, and the person sitting next to him or behind him will incur 500 (this is indicated in Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

The collection of a fine from the driver is processed only once, even if there were several unbelted people in the vehicle. But at the same time, protocols are issued separately to each passenger.

Minibus taxis usually have restraints only at the driver's seat and the seat next to it. When driving this type of transport, you must use seat belts for their intended purpose. If this rule is violated, then neither the driver nor the passengers will be able to get rid of a fine. In the cabin, restraint devices are most often present only on routes that involve traveling from one city to another. In such a case, it is also important to drive with your seat belt fastened.

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.

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:

• You cannot fasten several passengers with one seat belt;
• It is prohibited to restrain a child sitting in the arms of a rear passenger;
• There should be no objects between the human body and the belt that could injure the body in emergency situations;
• 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.

Rear seat belts

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:

1. First you need to open the trunk of the car.
   Open car trunk
2. 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
3. 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.
4. We put the RB coil on the bolt and secure it with two nuts: internal and external.
   We attach the coil to the bolt
5. If everything is done correctly, then the factory technological hole will be located above the coil.
   The strap should be threaded through this hole. RB freely exits their technical holes
6. We check the functionality of the device. The strap should move freely.
7. 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
8. 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.
