Safety features of your vehicle

When the vehicle stops suddenly, or if

the occupant tries to lean forward too

quickly, the seat belt retractor will lock

into position. In certain frontal collisions,

the pre-tensioner will activate and pull

the seat belt into tighter contact against

the occupant's body.

If the system senses excessive seat belt

Periodic inspection

It is recommended that all seat belts be

inspected periodically for wear or dam-

age of any kind. Parts of the system that

are damaged should be replaced as

soon as possible. Under no circum-

stances must any part of the seat belt

assemblies be dismantled or repaired.

Keep belts clean and dry

Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.

If belts become dirty, they can be

cleaned using a mild soap solution and

warm water. Bleach, dye, strong deter-

since the fabric may become damaged

and weakened.

When to replace seat belts

The entire seat belt assembly or assem-

blies should be inspected by an autho-

rised repairer if the vehicle has been

involved in an accident even if no dam-

age is evident. We recommend addition-

al questions concerning seat belt opera-
