Seat Belt Retractor: Customer Safety Information
CAUTION: Replace belts, retractors, and hardware in use in all but a minor collision. Also, restraint systems should be replaced and
anchorages properly repaired if they were in areas damaged by a collision, whether the belt was in use or not. If there is any question, replace
the belt system. Damage, whether visible or not, could result in serious personal injury in the event of an accident.
CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the right-front passengers air bag inflates. This is because the
back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. NEVER use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a
forward-facing child restraint is suitable for your child, ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go and then install the
child restraint. Be sure the child restraint position does not conflict with any additional requirements provided by the manufacture. For more
information, refer to the vehicle owners manual and the instruction that came with the child restraint.

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 the latch plate.
Replace any seat belts that are cut or damaged in any manner.
^
Use only the correct seat belt anchor nuts/bolts. Tighten the correct seat belt anchor nut/bolt/screw to the correct torque value. Refer to Fastener
Tightening Specifications.
^
Some seat belts and retractors require service as a set with service replacement components only. Do not repair individual components that must
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.
^
Replace any seat belts that have a visible caution label instructing replacement.
^
Some seat belts have an energy management loop. An energy management loop is an overlap of the seat belt webbing that is stitched together. If
any separated stitching exists, replace the seat belt.
