| • | Clean the seat belt webbing with a mild soap and water solution and
a soft brush or cloth. Do not bleach or dye the seat belt webbing. |
| • | Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from the seat belts.
Do not bend or damage any part of the seat belt buckle or latch plate. Replace
any seat belts that are cut damaged, frayed or stretched. |
| • | Use only the correct seat belt anchor fasteners. Tighten the anchor
fasteners to the correct torque value after you refer to
Fastener Tightening Specifications
in this section. When installing
a seat belt anchor bolt, start the bolt by hand to ensure that you do not
damage the bolt. |
| • | When replacing seat belts, use only service replacement parts. |
| • | Verify the correct replacement part number. Make sure the part
number is correct for that vehicle at that seating position. Do no substitute
a seat belt from a different seating position or a different vehicle. |
| • | If the door is to be left open for an extended period of time,
remove the CTSY fuse. Removing the fuse prevents battery drain by the courtesy
lamps. |
