Seat Belt Webbing Guide NOTE: The manufacturer recommends that the seat belt is routed through the seat belt webbing guide when using the seatbelt. The seat belt webbing guide should be used to improve seat belt accessibility. The seat belt can be removed from the guide to allow for easier access to the rear seats. 2 WARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.). Seat Belt Webbing Guide
