WARNING:
All seatbelt components must be inspected and corrected as
part of any collision repair. Inspect all seatbelt components as
prescribed by Seatbelt Procedure After a Collision found in Section
501-20A General Procedures of this manual. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in incorrect operation of the seatbelt system and
increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
-
Periodically inspect the seatbelt assemblies for damage
and that they remain in correct operating condition, particularly if
they have been subjected to severe stress.
-
Before installing the new seatbelt assembly, inspect the
seatbelt retaining areas for damage and distortion. If the retaining
points are damaged and distorted, work the sheet metal back to its
original shape and structural integrity.

Install the new seatbelt(s) using the appropriate
instructions. Carry out the appropriate Functional Test procedure for
all seating positions.
