Check the condition of all the seat belts at regular intervals. If the web-
bing or other parts of the seat belt are damaged, the vehicle should be
taken to a Specialised workshop immediately and the belts should be re-
placed. It is extremely dangerous to drive using damaged seat belts and
could result in serious injury or loss of life.

cal products, nor should they be allowed to come into contact with corro-
