SEAT BELT SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
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.
- Do not bleach or dye the seat belt webbing. Use only the following items in order to clean the seat belt webbing:
- A mild soap and water solution
- A soft brush or cloth
- 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 or damaged in any manner.
- Use only the correct seat belt anchor bolts. Tighten the correct seat belt anchor bolt/screw to the correct torque value. Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications. Begin tightening the seat belt anchor bolts by hand in order to ensure that the bolt is threaded straight.
- Some seat belts and retractors require service as a set with service replacement components only. Do not repair individual components that require service as a set.
- Verify that the replacement part number is correct for the vehicle at that seating position. Do not substitute a seat belt from a different seating position.
- Some seat belts have an Energy Management Loop, an overlap of the seat belt webbing that is stitched together around a caution label. If any separated stitching exists, revealing the Replace Seat Belt Label, replace the seat belt.
