Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Seat Belt
WARNING:
If replacing seat belt is necessary, replace buckle and seat belt together as a set. This is for the reason of ensuring locking of tongue plate with buckle. If these parts are replaced individually, such a locking condition may become unreliable. For this reason, SUZUKI will supply only the spare buckle and seat belt in a set part.
Before servicing or replacing seat belts, refer to the following precautionary items.
•
Seat belts should be normal relative to strap retractor and buckle portions.
•
Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from belts.
•
Avoid bending or damaging any portion of belt buckle or latch plate.
•
Do not bleach or dye belt webbing. (Use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean it.)
•
When installing a seat belt anchor bolt, start to tighten the bolt by hand to prevent cross-threading and then to specified torque.
•
Do not attempt any repairs on retractor mechanisms or retractor covers. Replace defective assemblies with new replacement parts.
•
Keep belts dry and clean at all times.
•
If there exist any parts in question, replace such parts.
•
Replace belts whose webbing is cut or otherwise damaged.
•
Do not put anything into trim panel opening which seat belt webbing passes through.
