Damage, whether visible or not, could result
in a serious personal injury in the event of
an accident.

Seat Belt Care

Warning
Keep belts clean and dry.
Clean seat belts only with mild soaps and
lukewarm water.
Do not bleach or dye belts since this may
severely weaken them.
Seat belt webbing can lose its strength
when bleached or redyed, or when
cleaned using gasoline, paint thinners or
other volatile substances.
Do not disassemble the seat belt
mechanism in order to remove any
foreign material or objects that may have
entered the buckle. Instead, arrange for
inspection and maintenance to be carried
out by your dealer. You and others could
be seriously injured.
A dirty seat belt can develop retracting
problems, and for this reason, regular
inspection and upkeep are required.

3. Wet the cloth in the detergent mixture,
pass it through the fold-back fitting
portion of the belt, and slide it back and
forth and laterally until dirt can no
longer be seen.
4. Remove the cloth, remove moisture from
the fitting portion of the belt using a dry
cloth, and then allow it to dry naturally
out of direct sunlight.
5. Check to be sure the seat belt retracts
and pulls out correctly.
Avoid using anything like a tool to pass the
cloth through the fold-back fitting portion or
try to remove stubborn dirt. Using such an
object can result in damage to plastic parts
or seat belt webbing.
