Inspection
WARNING:
All seatbelt components must be inspected and corrected as part of any collision repair. Inspect all seatbelt components as prescribed by Seatbelt Procedure After a Collision . Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the seatbelt system and increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
- Periodically inspect the seatbelt assemblies for damage and that they remain in correct operating condition, particularly if they have been subjected to severe stress.
- Before installing the new seatbelt assembly, inspect the seatbelt retaining areas for damage and distortion. If the retaining points are damaged and distorted, work the sheet metal back to its original shape and structural integrity.
- Install the new seatbelt(s) using the appropriate instructions. Carry out the appropriate Functional Test procedure for all seating positions. Refer to: Functional Tests .
