Seat Belt Systems: Service Precautions

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

^ If a component portion other than the adjustable 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.
