SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE
To maintain the seat belts in efficient conditions,
observe the following:
❒ always use the belt with the strap well stretched
and never twisted; make sure that it is free to
run without obstructions;
❒ replace the belt after an accident of a certain
severity even if it does not appear to be damaged.
Always replace the belt if the pretensioners were
deployed;
❒ to clean the belt, wash by hand with water and
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade.
Never use strong detergents, bleach, paints or any
other substance which could damage the belt
fibres;
❒ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct
operation is only guaranteed if water does not
get inside;
❒ replace the seat belt when it shows wear or cuts.
