WARNING
It is extremely dangerous to drive using dam-
aged seat belts and could result in serious in-
jury or loss of life.
● Avoid damaging the seat belt by jamming it
in the door or the seat mechanism.
If the fabric or other parts of the seat belt
●
are damaged, the seat belts could break in
the event of an accident or sudden braking.
Always have damaged seatbelts replaced
●
immediately by seat belts approved for the
vehicle in question by SEAT. Seat belts which
have been worn in an accident and stretched
must be replaced by a specialised workshop.
Renewal may be necessary even if there is no
apparent damage. The belt anchorage should
also be checked.
Never attempt to repair, modify or remove a
●
seat belt yourself. All repairs to seat belts, re-
tractors and buckles must be carried out by a
specialised workshop.
