Seat Belts, Inspecting

CAUTION!
After every accident the seat belt system must be inspected systematically! If damage is determined when inspecting the check points, customer must be informed regarding necessity of changing belts.

Belt Guide Rings and Locking Tongue, Checking

The plastic-covered guides show fine parallel scoring after straining belt system (belt was fastened during accident). (Wear which has been brought about by frequent belt use can be identified by smooth signs of wear which are free of scoring.)

- Inspect for deformation, chipping and cracks in plastic.

If scoring and/or damage is discovered, replace complete seat belt with seat belt latch.
