Seat belt inspection

● Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed webbing and for
cracked or deformed metallic parts. Replace the belt
assembly if defective.
● A dirty belt should be cleaned with neutral detergent in
warm water. After rinsing in water, let it dry in the shade.
Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts because this
affects their characteristics.
WARNING
!
● We recommend that you have all seat belt assem-
blies including retractors and attaching hardware
inspected after any collision. We recommend that
seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and the belts
show no damage and continue to operate properly.
● Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the
seat belt assemblies; we recommend that you have
this work done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. Incorrect repair or
replacement could reduce the effectiveness of the
belts and could result in serious injury in the event
of a collision.
● Once the pre-tensioner has been activated, it cannot
be re-used.
It must be replaced together with the retractor.
