How To Keep The Seat Belts Always In Efficient Conditions - Alfa Romeo GT Owner's Manual

If the seat belt has been
subjected to shock, for ex-
ample during an accident, it
must be completely replaced to-
gether with the attachments and
their screws, and the pretension-
ing devices, even if visible defects
are not detected, as the belt may
have lost its resilience.
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS
ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
To keep the seat belts always in efficient
conditions, observe the following:
– always use the belts with the tape well
taut and never twisted; make sure that it
is free to run without impediments;
– after a serious accident, replace the belt
being worn at that time, even if it does not
appear damaged. Always replace the seat
belts if pretensioners have been activated;
– to clean the belts, wash by hand with
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the
shade. Never use string detergents, bleach
or dyes or any other chemical substance that
might weaken the fibres;
– prevent the reels from getting wet: their
correct operation is only guaranteed if wa-
ter does not get inside;
– replace the seat belt if it shows signifi-
cant wear or cut signs.
