Replacing Restraint System Parts After A Crash - GMC 1996 Sonoma Owner's Manual

Replacing Restraint System
Parts After a Crash
If you've had a crash, do you need new belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But if the belts were stretched, as they would be if worn
during
a
more severe crash, then
you
need new belts.
CAUTION
ATTENTION

If you ever see a label on the driver's safety belt buckle
that says
to
replace the buckle assembly, be sure to do
so. Then the new buckle assembly will be there to help
protect you in a collision.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision
damage also may mean you will need to have safety belt
or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs
may be necessary even if the belt wasn't being used at
the time of the collision.
If an air bag inflates, you'll need to replace air bag
system parts. See the part on the air bag system earlier in
this section.
