SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
A dirty seat belt can develop retracting problems, and for this reason, regular inspection
and upkeep are required.
CAUTION
Seat belt webbing can lose its strength when bleached or redyed, or when •
cleaned using gasoline, paint thinners or other volatile substances.
Do not disassemble the seat belt mechanism in order to remove any foreign
•
material or objects that may have entered the buckle. Instead, arrange for
inspection and maintenance to be carried out by your Isuzu Dealer.
Seat Belt Care
Cleaning a Seat Belt's Fold-back
Fitting Portion
1. Fold a piece of cotton cloth, absorbent
gauze, or the like of approximately 50
mm (2 in) in width into a rectangle.
2. Mix one part neutral detergent into
approximately twenty parts warm
water.
3. Wet the cloth in the detergent mixture,
pass it through the fold-back fitting
portion of the belt, and slide it back
and forth and laterally until dirt can no
longer be seen.
4. Remove the cloth, remove moisture
from the fitting portion of the belt
using a dry cloth, and then allow it to
dry naturally out of direct sunlight.
5. Check to be sure the seat belt retracts
and pulls out correctly.
ADVICE
Avoid using anything like a tool to •
pass the cloth through the fold-
back fitting portion or try to remove
stubborn dirt. Using such an object
can result in plastic parts or seat
belt webbing damage.
