Seat Belt Maintenance - Honda 1998 Civic Sedan Manual

Additional Information About Your Seat Belts

Seat Belt Maintenance

For safety, you should check the
condition of your seat belts regularly.
Pull each belt out fully and lock for
frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check
that the latches work smoothly and
that the lap/shoulder belts retract
easily. Any belt not in good condition
or not working properly will not
provide good protection and should
be replaced as soon as possible.
U.S. Owners
Honda provides a lifetime warranty
on seat belts. Honda will repair or
replace any seat belt component that
fails to function properly during
normal use.
Please see your Honda Warranty
Information booklet for details.
Driver and Passenger Safety
If a seat belt is worn during a crash,
you should have your dealer inspect
the belt, and replace it if necessary.
A belt that has been worn during a
crash may not provide the same level
of protection in a subsequent crash.
The dealer should also inspect the
anchors for damage and replace
them if needed.
Not checking or maintaining
seat belts can result in serious
injury or death if the seat belts
do not work properly when
needed.
Check your seat belts regularly
and have any problem
corrected as soon as possible.

seat belts, see page 198.
