The potential exposure of the seat belt to severe
environmental conditions make it crucial to inspect the
seat belt system regularly.
It is recommended that the seat belt be inspected on a
daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that
shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant
discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness, abrasion
to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch
plate, hardware or any other obvious problem should be
replaced immediately.
WARNING
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat
belt can cause serious injury or loss of life.
1. Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for
cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-3.
2. Check the seat belt webbing in areas exposed to
ultra violet rays from the sun or extreme dust or
dirt. If the original color of the webbing in these
areas is extremely faded and/or is packed with dirt,
the physical strength of this webbing may have
deteriorated. If this condition exists, replace the seat
belt system.
3. Check the buckle and latch for proper operation
and determine if the latch plate is excessively worn,
deformed, or if the buckle is damaged or cracked.
See Figure 2-3.
