Caution: To help avoid personal injury from unrepaired crash damage to a restraint
system, perform the seat belt check for each seat belt system. Replace the
seat belt system if there is any doubt about the condition of system components.
General Service Instructions
| • | Do not bleach or dye the seat belt webbing. Clean the webbing
only with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. |
| • | Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from the seat belts.
Avoid bending or damaging any part of the seat belt buckle or latch plate.
Replace any seat belts which are cut or damaged in any way. |
| • | Use only the correct seat belt anchor bolts/screws and tighten
to the correct torque value. Refer to
Fastener Tightening Specifications
.
When installing the seat belt anchor bolts, start the bolt by hand in order
to ensure that the bolt is threaded straight. |
| • | Some seat belts and retractors must be serviced as a set with
service replacement parts only. Do not attempt to make repairs to the individual
components which are only serviced as a set. |
| • | Verify that the replacement part number is correct for the vehicle
at the seating position. Do not substitute a seat belt from a different seating
position. |
