If the seat belt underwent
strong mechanical stress, for
example during a collision, it
must be fully replaced together with
its anchorages, the anchoring screws
and the pretensioner. Even if there
are no visible defects, the seat belt
may have lost some of its resistance.

Pregnant women must
carefully observe applicable
local legislation regarding
the use of the seat belts. Always
make sure that the lower section of
the belt is secured well down on the
hips, below the abdominal region of
your body.

How to keep seat belts effi cient
1) Always use the seat belts with the
belt completely fl at, not twisted;
Make sure that the belt can move
freely without jamming.
2) The seat belts must be replaced
following every pretensioner
activation and whenever the belt
itself shows visible damages or
abrasions.
3) Wash the seat belts by hand using
water and neutral soap, rinse them
and let them dry in the shade. Do
not use strong detergents, bleaches
or colorants and any other chemical
substance that may weaken the
fi bres.
4) Make sure the seat belt retractors
do not get wet: they will operate
properly only if they do not
undergo water infi ltration.
