Replacing Restraint System Parts After - Chevrolet 1998 Express Van Owner's Manual

Replacing Restraint System Parts
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.
Ifbelts 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
an air bag inflates, you'll need to replace air bag
system parts. See the part on the air bag system earlier
in this section.
