How is the seatbelt of a vehicle repaired?

Model: Lancia Ypsilon 843, MK 2, Ypsilon 2, Y2 - Years 2003-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

The seatbelt's entire functioning principle is based on the retractor, which is the device that allows it to tighten, reach the latch next to the seat, thereby securing the occupant, and when it is unbuckled, it automatically retracts. If this does not happen, it is almost certainly due to the aforementioned retractor. Therefore, we need to disassemble the entire belt and the mechanism that manages it, removing the cover on the side pillar, which can only be accessed after removing the rear seats, as seen in the video; otherwise, the lower locking pin will not be reachable, unlike the upper one. After extracting it, the repair is carried out as shown by the protagonist of the tutorial video.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
