Notice: To prevent possible seat belt damage, refer to the following items before servicing or replacing lap and shoulder belts, including single loop belt systems:
• | Lap and shoulder belts will be serviced as follows: |
- | Replace only the part in question. |
- | Do not intermix standard and deluxe belts on front or rear seats. |
- | All attachment hardware must be replaced, not reused. |
• | Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from belts. |
• | Avoid bending or damaging any portion of the belt buckle or latch plate. |
• | Do not bleach or dye belt or strap webbing. Clean with a mild soap solution and water. |
• | When installing lap or shoulder belt anchor bolts, start the bolts by hand to ensure that the bolts are threaded straight. |
• | Do not attempt repairs on lap or shoulder belt retractor mechanisms to lap belt retractor covers. Replace defective assemblies with new service replacement parts. |
• | Do not attempt to remove the seat belt retractor cover. The cover and the long rivet securing the cover to the retractor are not available as service replacement parts. |
