4.6 Seat Belts

Two types of seat belts are installed on the cars covered by this manual: combination lap-shoulder belts (three-point), and passive restraint belts (two-point). The seat belts should be periodically inspected for webbing defects and proper operation. If the seats belts are removed for any reason, it is of extreme importance to reinstall them correctly. For problems with the seat belt warning light/buzzer system or ignition interlock see ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

WARNING-


For maximum protection from injury, seat belts should be replaced, as a set, if they are subjected to occupant loading in a collision.


Do not bleach or dye seat belt webbing. Webbing that is severely faded or redyed will not meet the strength requirements and must be replaced.
