Seat Belt: Service and Repair
Service Precautions
-
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 latch plate.
Replace any seat belts that are cut or damaged in any manner.
-
Use only the correct seat belt anchor fasteners. Tighten the correct seat belt anchor fasteners to the correct torque value. Refer to Fastener
Tightening Specifications. Begin tightening the seat belt anchor fasteners by hand in order to ensure that the fastener is threaded straight.
-
Some seat belts and retractors require service as a set with service replacement components only. Do not repair individual components that
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 which 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.
