SEATBELT MAINTENANCE

Inspect the vehicle seatbelts periodically
to make sure they work properly and are
not damaged. Inspect the vehicle seatbelts
to make sure there are no nicks, tears or
cuts. Replace if necessary. All vehicle
seatbelt assemblies, including retractors,
buckles, front seatbelt buckle assemblies,
buckle support assemblies (slide bar-if
equipped), shoulder belt height adjusters
(if equipped), shoulder belt guide on seat
back (if equipped), should be inspected
after a crash.

Seatbelts
Ford Motor Company recommends that
all seatbelt assemblies in use in vehicles
involved in a crash be replaced. However,
if the crash was minor and an authorized
dealer finds that the belts do not show
damage and continue to operate properly,
they do not need to be replaced. Seatbelt
assemblies not in use during a crash should
also be inspected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is noted.
Properly care for seatbelts. See Seatbelts
(page 23).
