Replacing Restraint System Parts After A Crash - Oldsmobile Silhouette Owner's Manual

Replacing Restraint System Parts
After a Crash
If you've had a crash, do you need new safety belts or
-
built in child restraint parts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But if the safety belts or built
straps were stretched, as they would be if worn during a
more severe crash, then you need new safety belts or
harness straps.
If the frontal air bags inflate, you'll also need to replace
the driver's and right front passenger's safety belt
buckle assembly. Be sure to do so. Then the new buckle
assembly will be there to help protect you in a collision.

If safety belts or built in child restraint harness straps
are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also
may mean you will need to have safety belt, built
child restraint or seat parts repaired or replaced. New
parts and repairs may be necessary even if the safety belt
-
or built in child restraint wasn't being used at the time
of the collision.
If an air bag inflates, you'll need to replace air bag
system parts. See the part on the air bag system earlier in
this section.
