MAINTAIN YOUR RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Periodically examine your restraint equipment to be sure it functions correctly and to be sure
there are no worn or broken components that either needs repair or replacement. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Restraint equipment must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged. If
there is any question regarding belt or retractor condition, replace the belt.
It is a good idea to have your restraint system inspected during each periodic scheduled
maintenance session.
WARNING
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect
the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must
be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.)
Safety Belt Maintenance
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them.
WARNING
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
may severely weaken the fabric. In a crash, they might not be able to provide adequate
protection.
