a
Crash
Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light
and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors
and anchorages are working properly.
Look
for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts.
If
you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system from doing
its job, have it repaired.
Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces.
If
a belt
is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.
Also
look for any opened or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)

your vehicle.
A
damaged restraint system may
not properly protect the person using
it,
resulting in serious injury or even death in a
crash.
To
help make sure your restraint
systems are working properly after a crash,
have them inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as possible.
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts or LATCH
system parts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But
if
the belts were stretched, as they would be
if
worn
during a more severe crash, the you need new parts.
