Maintenance of Safety Belts
Caution
The safety belts must be kept in good
working order to maintain their
normal function.
Keep the safety belts clean and dry.
Prevent the safety belts from being
contaminated by polishes, oil or chem-
icals, especially battery electrolytic
solution, bleach and dye.
These contaminants can reduce the
strength of the safety belt materials.
Perform regular inspection on all parts
of the safety belts. Immediately replace
any damaged safety belts or parts
thereof.
Safety belts stretched in an accident and
the associated parts must be replaced,
even if the damage is not obvious or
invisible. The safety belts used for
replacement must be new.
It is recommended by General Motors
to replace the whole safety belt
assembly after a collision. The safety
belts may not have to be replaced if your
CHEVROLET retailer finds that the
safety belts are not damaged and work
properly.
Glass Surface
Caution
Abrasive cleaners can scratch the
glass and damage the rear window
defroster grid.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the
rear window glass.
Otherwise the driver's vision will be
affected.
Keeping the window glass clean can
help to reduce dazzling and improve
vision.
Caution
Stickers can affect the rear window
defroster.
Do not put stickers on the inside of
the rear window.
Otherwise the driver's vision will be
affected.
Cleaning the outside of the wind-
shield
Wax or other substances on the
windshield and on wiper blades can
cause blade vibration during operation.
Also these foreign substances will not
help to keep the windshield clean.
Use non-abrasive cleaners to clean the
outside of the windshield.
Water cannot form drops on the
windshield when it is clean.
