Care of Seat Belts
Always keep the seat belts clean and dry.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination
of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water.
Do not bleach or dye belts since this may
severely weaken them. Make sure that the
belt is not damaged or trapped by sharp
edged objects.
Periodically inspect all parts of the belts and
have damaged parts replaced. A belt which
has been overstretched in an accident must
be replaced by a new one.
Ssangyong recommends replacing all com-
ponent parts of the seat belts in use during
a collision. No replacement is required after
a minor collision if a Ssangyong Dealer or
Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation
finds that no damage has occurred and
judges everything to be in proper working
order.
Seat belts and components that were not in
use during the collision must also be in-
spected and replaced if they show signs of
damage or faulty operation.
BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR 1–23

damaged in any way.

bly after severe impact even if the
