Function of the buckle

The function of the buckle is basically to contribute to safety.
Buckle malfunctions can generally be attributed to dirt.
Faulty operation
The locking pieces do not
engage with a distinct "click".
Pressing the red
button ejects the
pieces slowly.
Pushing the locking pieces in
is slow (damped).
The locking pieces no longer
engage (they come out again).
Considerable force is required
to open the buckle.
It is no longer possible to
engage the locking pieces in
the buckle.
