Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the safety belt

assembly under the above conditions could result in severe

personal injuries in the event of a collision.

Refer to Interior in the Cleaning chapter.

Replacing the front seat belt assemblies after a collision

The front outboard safety belt assemblies have a special energy

management retractors designed to further reduce the risk of injury in

the event of a head-on collision. These retractors should be replaced if

they were used in any accident in which the front airbags deploy. If the

safety belt assemblies are not replaced, there may be increased risk of

injury in the event of a subsequent collision.

Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the safety belt

assembly under the above conditions could result in severe

personal injuries in the event of a collision.

AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

The air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is designed to work in

conjunction with the safety belts to help protect the driver and front

outboard passenger from certain upper body injuries. The term

“supplemental restraint” means the air bags are intended as a

supplement to the safety belts. Air bags alone cannot protect as well as

air bags plus safety belts in impacts for which the air bags are designed

to deploy, and air bags do not offer any protection in crashes for which

they do not deploy.
