SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
SERVICE AND DIAGNOSIS
WARNING:
If replacing seat belt is necessary, replace buckle and ELR (or webbing) together as a set. This is for
the reason of ensuring locking of tongue plate with buckle.
If these parts are replaced individually, such a locking condition may become unreliable. For this rea-
son, SUZUKI will supply only the spare buckle and ELR (or webbing) in a set part.
Before servicing or replacing seat belts, refer to following precautionary items.
Seat belts should be normal relative to strap retractor and buckle portions.
Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from belts.
Avoid bending or damaging any portion of belt buckle or latch plate.
Do not bleach or dye belt webbing. (Use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean it.)
When installing a seat belt anchor bolt, it should be tightened by hand at first to prevent cross-threading and then
to specified torque.
Do not attempt any repairs on retractor mechanisms or retractor covers. Replace defective assemblies with new
replacement parts.
Keep belts dry and clean at all times.
If there exist any parts in question, replace such parts.
Replace belts whose webbing is cut or otherwise damaged.
Do not put anything into trim panel opening which seat belt webbing passes through.
