Seating and safety restraints Care of safety belts Periodically check the belts for damage or fraying. Check the security of the anchorage points and the locking action of the inertia reels by giving each belt a sharp tug. Belts subjected to strain, as in the result of an accident, should be replaced and the anchorages checked by your dealer or a qualified technician. Failure to follow these instructions will affect the performance of the safety belts and increase the risk of personal injury. Safety belt warning label A warning label has been placed on the buckle of each of your vehicle's front seat safety belts. In a collision of sufficient severity while the safety belt is in use, the safety belt buckle will pull out of the sleeve so that all or part of the orange portion of the lavel is visible. Whenever the orange portion of the label is visible, the safety belt must be replaced. WARNING Replace buckle assembly if this vehicle is in a collision or if any orange portion of this label is visible. (See Owner Guide). Failure to replace this buckle assembly under the above conditions could result in severe personal injuries in the event of collision.
