Seat Belt: Service and Repair
Safety Belt Maintenance and Inspection
Safety belt assemblies should be periodically inspected to make sure that they have not become damaged and that they remain in proper operating
condition, particularly if they have been subjected to severe stress.
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle support assemblies (slide bar), if equipped, child
safety seat tether brackets (if so equipped) and attaching hardware should be inspected after any collision. All belt assemblies should be
replaced unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate properly. Belt assemblies not in use during a collision
should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.
Before installing the new safety belt assembly, safety belt attaching areas must be inspected for damage and distortion. If the attaching points are
damaged and distorted, the sheet metal must be reworked back to its original shape and structural integrity.
Install new safety belt(s) in as shown in Seat Belt Retractor and Seat Belt Buckle / Service and Repair. Perform Functional Test Procedure.
