WARNING
If the belt has been sharply pulled,
for example as
the result of an
accident, the safety belt, together with the
anchoring devices, the anchoring device
mounting screws and the pretensioner must
be completely replaced. Even if the belt
does not present any exterior signs of wear
or damage, it may have lost its restraining
properties.
SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE
To maintain the seat belts in efficient conditions,
observe the following:
❒ always use the belt with the strap well stretched
and never twisted; make sure that it is free to
run without obstructions;
❒ replace the belt after an accident of a certain
severity even if it does not appear to be
damaged. Always replace the belt if the
pretensioners were deployed;
❒ to clean the belt, wash by hand with water and
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the
shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach,
paints or any other substance which could
damage the belt fibres;
❒ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct
operation is only guaranteed if water does not
get inside
❒ replace the seat belt when it shows wear or cuts.
