Make Toyota, Model Juno, Year 1995. This vehicle doesn't have ABS.
The main purpose for this test is about the seat belt structure:
There are 4 main mechanism that makes a seat belt structure: Tongue and Buckle Assembly; Retractor; Webbing; Anchorages.
Tongue and Buckle Assembly: Locking mechanism for securing the seat belt. Tongue should be pressed in easily and Buckle release button must be pressed when pulling the tongue out.
Retractor: Automatically recoil the seat belt when it is disengaged, wear out overtime, should check for smooth retracting motion till the end.
Webbing: the Fibers of the belt. Webbing strength can be greatly reduced by small cuts, frayed edges and holes, even heavy sunburn and UV exposure can reduce up to 50%, and will tear out when put under load.
Anchorage: The whole unit must be firmly anchored to the vehicle.
In all words, the seat belt is the most important system in safety, regardless of vehicle type, if the occupant under high speed impact can be successfully held in place, chances for survival is improved greatly.
Hence, a safety check list is carried out, each mechanism has a list of things to check.
Then we check the supplementary restrain system, which basically recheck the seat belt type, most cars use lap/ diagonal for maximum protection, especially front seats. Number of air bag is also counted.
The following warrant of fitness pretty much retest the Vehicle safety Inspection test.
