Auto seatbelt question/issue
so just hooked up my seatbelts and i was curious because i have never had an s5 with auto belts that worked, are the belts supposed to only move with the key on? they go forward and backward just fine but only when the key is on and then either door open/closed. but if they are in the back position and you turn the key off, then open the door the dont go forward to let you out.

no, when you open the door from the inside, after you turn the car off, the seat belt will retract so you can get out, then it will stay in that position until you get in the car and turn the car onto acc. power or on the seat belts will be retracted so its like you are wearing the seat belt. same goes for the passenger, however the passenger will stay in the position of wearing unless that door is opened,

you should be able to get it fixed for free. bring the paper because they'll try to say that recall never existed without the paper for proof. i brought mine in and had to show the paper. got the car back like 2-3 days after

I must be the only guy that likes the auto belts... I would feel a little more secure if I had an airbag or something.... but, having taken apart the mechanism.. they look sturdy enough. A good working auto seatbelt mechanism (when replaced for free at dealership) is really nice....
One problem with them is..... if you have a stupid *** friend like I do that thinks he's some sort of a ninja.... The seatbelts tend to freak them out.. My friend saw the seatbelt coming back and thought it was going to choke him.. so he fought back and pulled it right out of the track while it was moving... *******...

You should just get them fixed, they HAVE to do it for free, they will most likely try to get out of it, but maybe they will just be cool. I have done it to both my belts at 2 dealerships. I love it when I give someone a ride and they are just looking at me when I stop to let them out, "just open the door."

well i cant take mine in to the dealer. its a 91 auto coupe that i gutted and swapped in my 87 manual tii everything then grafted the wiring in to make the belts work. i think i have a bad cpu for the belts.
