WARNING
If the belt has been
subjected to heavy
stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed
completely together with the
anchors, anchor fastening
screws and the pretensioners.
In fact, even if the belt has no
visible defects, it could have
lost its resilience.
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS ALWAYS IN
EFFICIENT CONDITIONS
❒ Always use the belt with the tape taut
and never twisted; make sure that
operation
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 strong de-
tergents, bleach or dyes or other
