Fiat Ducato Owner's Handbook Manual page 133

WARNING
Under no circumstances should the seat
belt and pretensioner components be
removed or tampered with. Any operations
must be carried out by qualified and authorised
personnel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, fixing screws
and the pretensioner. In fact, even if the belt
has no visible defects, it could have lost its
resilience.
fig. 142
Each seat belt must be worn by one
person only; passengers should not have
babies or children on their lap and use the belts
to protect both of them fig 142. In general, do
not use the seat belts to hold any object against
the body.
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE SEAT BELTS
IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS
For keeping the seat belts in efficient conditions,
observe the following:
❒ always use the belts with the strap well stretched
and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run
without impediments;
❒ after a serious accident, replace the belt even if it
does not appear damaged. Always replace the belt if
the pretensioners were deployed;
❒ to clean the belts, wash by hand with water and mild
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 they demonstrate
significant wear or cuts.
