Hello,
I live in France, and I do not speak English very well, excuse me.
I may be the only one in France to have a MX3 which comes from the USA (Florida)
I have options that did not exist on the MX3 in Europe.
For example, Automatic Seat belt: (
A photo of my MX3:
For several days my retractors (driver and passenger), No longer hangs, When you suddenly pulls over.
Seat belts are put in place, no problem, just the retractor, which no longer hangs.
A photo:
The problem is that I do not have the owner's manual, and therefore nothing to help me solve my problem.
Could you help me and tell me what to do to fix it?
It is necessary that I change my belts?
The problem is, or I can buy them ... because they do not exist in France, did you address?
Thanks to all

If I understand correctly, it is a worldwide recall, and every dealer has to fix it, no matter what. It wouldn't hurt to ask them. If not, there is a manual on this site, on the main page.

Personally I hate those automatic belts.
I believe someone here made a nice mod to use just manual ones (think there was a walk through on how to do it) if that is an only option for you.

You should post in the Want to Buy section. I am sure there is someone parting out an MX3 that you can get one from.
Does the motor not work or something?

Hello,
My problem is not electrical.
this is the piece (surrounded on the photo).
Normally, when i pull on the belt, it must lock?
when I pull strongly on my own, they did not block.
My car was lowered.
I thought that the inclination of the metallic ball inside the retractor was amended (following the lowering of my MX3) is this possible?
