SEAT BELT SAFETY
Do not carry hard, fragile or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts or wear to the webbing,
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters, and mounting
points.
• With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.
• With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
• Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey,
no matter how short.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet these criteria,
immediately contact your Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Seat belt
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing with
polishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water.
The belt should be replaced if
webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact, even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
When using seat belts to restrain
items other than occupants, take care
to ensure that the belts are not
damaged, or exposed to sharp edges.
No modifications or additions should
be made by the user which will either
prevent the seat belt adjusting devices
from operating to remove slack, or
prevent the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.
The use of comfort clips, or devices
that would create slackness in the
seat belt system, is not advised.
SEAT BELT CHECKS
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is a safety
feature and the belt should be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
