Seat Belt Inspection
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
• Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
• Check that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
u If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Only
use a mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make
sure the belt is completely dry before allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper
protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of
protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after
any collision.
1 Seat Belt Inspection
WARNING: No modifications or additions should be
made by the user which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.
WARNING: It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact
even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
WARNING: Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
