If you've had a crash, do you need new belts or LATCH system parts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if the belts were stretched, as they would be if worn during a more severecrash, then you need new parts. If the LATCH system was being used during a more severe crash, you may need LATCH system parts. If the frontal air bags inflate, you'll also need to replace the driver's and right front passenger's safety belt buckle assembly. Be sure to do so. Then the new buckle assembly will be there to help protect you in collision. a If an air bag inflates, you'll need to replace air bag system parts. See the part on the air bag system earlier in this section. If belts are cut or damaged replace them. Collision damage also may mean you will need to have LATCH system, safety belt or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt or LATCH system wasn't being used at the time of the collision. 1-78
