How to Keep Seatbelts in Perfect Condition

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, see how to fix a common issue with older vehicles: seatbelts that struggle to retract when removed and hang loosely. This advice does not apply if you have damaged pretensioners, of course. If that’s not the case, you will only need some silicone spray. Pull out the entire seatbelt, and when you reach the end of the strap, lubricate it on both sides, a section at a time until halfway, then refit it. Pull it up and down several times until it is well saturated; now it retracts perfectly. If any silicone accidentally gets on the outer part of the seatbelt that contacts the seats, spray an anti-silicone spray on this area and wipe it well with a cloth to ensure that the silicone does not stain your clothes.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
