CENTER LAP BELT
1 . The center seat lap belt has no retractor, but should be positioned,
worn and released as described above. The belt is adjusted to
snug fit by pulling on the free end of the webbing coming from the
latch plate.
2. To lengthen the center seat lap belt, place the latch plate at an
angle to the belt webbing and pull on the latch plate; the belt
should then slide easily through the latch plate adjustment feature.
SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Now and then check that the belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and guide loops work properly; look for loose parts or
damage (without disassembly) that could keep the restraint system
from doing its job. Have a belt assembly replaced if the webbing has
been cut or otherwise damaged. Replace belts, retractors, and
hardware used in all but a minor collision. Also, restraint systems
should be replaced and anchorages properly repaired if they were in
areas damaged by a collision, whether the belt was in use or not. If
there is any question, replace the belt system. Damage, whether
visible or not, could result in a serious personal injury in the event of
an accident.
