Seat Belt Systems: Service Precautions

WARNING: When using any infant or child restraint system it is important that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer concerning its use. Failure to follow each of the restraint manufacturer's instructions can result in a child striking the vehicle interior during a sudden stop or collision.

CAUTION:
^ Belt assemblies must be installed in matched sets as received and must not be interchanged between vehicle models.

^ If a component portion other than the removable D-ring cover (buckle portion, retractor portion, etc.) of a seat belt or shoulder belt assembly is nonfunctional or damaged, the entire assembly (buckle, tongue and shoulder harness portions) must be replaced.

^ The replacement assembly must be installed as a matched set and the manufacturer's identification on the label of the retractor webbing must match the manufacturer's identification on the buckle base.

^ Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after they have been subjected to loading by occupants in a collision.
