Care should be taken when ordering replacement seat belts, buckles, or belt kits for the above models. Due to differing governmental regulations, different seat belt systems have been designed for domestic vehicles and for exported vehicles.
Carefully read the General Motors Service Parts Catalog to ensure that export seat belt system parts are not ordered for domestic vehicles. The catalog text will either contain the word EXPORT or the option AX4 (restraint system, front and rear seat, manual, EUROPEAN) for all export parts.
These export parts are NOT compatible with domestic seat belt system parts. Use of export seat belt parts with domestic seat belt parts will not allow the restraint system to operate properly.
