Replacing Safety Belts After A Crash - Buick 1994 LeSabre Owner's Manual

Replacing Safety Belts After a Crash
If you've had a crash, do you need new belts'?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But if the belts were stretched,
as
they would be if worn
during a more severe crash, then you need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision
damage also may mean you will need
to
have safety belt
or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs
may be necessary even if the belt wasn't being used at
the time of the collision.
If
your seat adjuster won't work after a crash, the special
part of the safety belt that goes through the seat to the
adjuster may need to be replaced.

What's wrong with this?
A:
The belt is torn.
Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash.
They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn
or frayed, get a new one right away.
