Seats and Seat Belts
Overview
Your occupant restraint system has been developed and tested specifically for Utilimaster delivery
vehicles. The high usage associated with delivery vehicle application and exposure of this seat belt to
severe environmental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat belt system regularly. The seat belt
system must be inspected during every routine maintenance.
A seat belt system should be replaced immediately if it shows any problems, such as cuts; fraying;
extreme or unusual wear; significant discoloration due to ultraviolet exposure; significant dirt; abrasion
to the seat belt webbing; or damage to the buckle, latch plate, retractor, or hardware.
Replace the seat belt only with a belt recommended by Utilimaster. If any part of the seat belt
requires replacement, the entire belt must be replaced.
An installation guide is attached to every replacement belt. If the seat belt is replaced, all components
must be mounted back in the same position as the original components. This will maintain the design
integrity of the mounting points for the seat belt assembly.
The information in this document is generic. Images and procedures may differ from
those for vehicles you are servicing. Because Utilimaster manufactures customized
vehicle solutions, this document cannot list and illustrate every possible option for every
vehicle. The most common body options are described here. Use this information as a
guideline.
