Checking Your Restraint Systems Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for any loose parts or damage. If you see anything that might keepa restraint system from doing its job,have it repaired. Replacing Safety Belts After Crash a If you've had a crash,do you need new belts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if the belts were stretched, as they would be if worn during a more severe crash, then you need new belts. If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may mean you will need to have safety belt seat parts repaired or replaced. New or at parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt wasn't being used the time of the collision. Q: What's wrong with this? A: The belt is torn. Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one right away. Before replacing any safety belt, see your dealer for the correct part number. You'll need the model year and model number for your vehicle. The model year is on your title and registration. And you can find the model number on the Certificatioflire label of your vehicle. See "Certificatioflire Label" in the Index.
