SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
Periodically check that the seat belt and all the metal
components, such as buckles, tongues, retractors,
flexible wires and anchors, work properly. If loose
parts, deterioration, cuts or other damage on the
seat belt webbing is found, the entire seat belt as-
sembly should be replaced.
If dirt builds up in the shoulder belt guide of the seat
belt anchors, the seat belts may retract slowly. Wipe
the shoulder belt guide with a clean, dry cloth.
