Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for any other
loose or damaged restraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep
a restraint system from doing its job, have
it repaired.
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.
Replacing Seat and 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.
If you ever see a label on a right front safety belt in a two-door Utility
model that says to replace the belt, be sure to do so. Then the new belt will
be there to help protect you in an accident. You would see this label on
the
belt near the door opening.
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.
Before replacing any safety belt, see your dealer for the correct part number.
You'll need the model year and model number for your vehicle. The model
year is on your title and registration. And you can find the model number on
the Certification/Tire label of your vehicle. See "Certification/Tire Label" in
the Index.
