Seat Belt System

Always check the seat belt system for wear and proper
operation. All components must be in good condition and ready to function correctly when necessary. Failure to
check the seat belt system could lead to serious injury or
death.
Inspect the seat belt system every 20,000 miles (32,187 km) or more often if exposed to severe environmental conditions or
vocation. Check the following:
1. Inspect belt on entire system for cuts, fraying, extreme or
unusual wear. Most common areas of belt wear include the
buckle/latch area, the shoulder loop area and any place
where the belt makes contact with vehicle or seat. Replace
the entire belt system if necessary.
2. Inspect buckle for proper operation by inserting latch and
listening for an audible click. Verify the buckle is not
damaged, cracked or broken. Replace the entire belt
system.
3. Inspect buckle cable (optional component) black coating
on buckle cable must not be damaged. Internal cable wires
must not be exposed, frayed or broken. Replace the entire
system.
