If the seat belt has been
subjected to shock, for ex-
ample during an accident, it
must be completely replaced to-
gether with the attachments and
their screws, and the pretension-
ing devices, even if visible defects
are not detected, as the belt may
have lost its resilience.
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS
ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
To keep the seat belts always in efficient
conditions, observe the following:
– always use the belts with the tape
well taut and never twisted; make sure
that 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 string detergents, bleach
or dyes or any other chemical substance
that might weaken the fibres;
– prevent the reels from getting wet:
correct operation of them is only guaran-
teed if water does not get inside;
– replace the seat belt if it shows signif-
icant wear or cut signs.
