Seat belts

It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in a
severe impact even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
If any damage, wear, cuts, defects, or
impaired operation are noted with the
seat belts, the vehicle should be taken
to a Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
immediate attention. Do not use the
vehicle if the seat belts cannot be
operated correctly.
Do not carry hard, fragile, or sharp
items between your person and the
seat belt.
Seat belts should be worn by all
vehicle occupants, for every journey
no matter how short.
Never wear just the lap belt or just the
shoulder belt of a lap/shoulder
diagonal seat belt. Both of these
actions are extremely dangerous and
may increase your risk of injury.
When using seat belts to restrain
items other than occupants, make
sure the belts are not damaged, or
exposed to sharp edges.
SEAT BELT CHECKS
Note: If the vehicle is parked on an incline, the
seat belt mechanism may lock. This is a safety
feature and the belt should be gently eased out
from the upper anchorage.
The seat belts should be inspected regularly to
check for fraying, cuts, wear to the webbing
and the condition and security of the
mechanism, buckles, adjusters and mounting
points.
 With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing near the buckle a quick upward
pull. The buckle must remain securely
locked.
 With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the
seat belt to the limit of its travel. Check that
it unreels smoothly with no snatches or
snags. Allow the belt to fully retract, again
checking for smooth operation.
 Partially unreel the seat belt, then hold the
tongue plate and give a quick forward pull.
The mechanism must lock and prevent any
further unreeling.
If any of the seat belts fail to meet those
criteria, immediately contact your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER
Seat belt reminder commences when the
vehicle is in motion and the driver's belt is
unbuckled. Dependent on market, an audible
chime sounds and the warning indicator in the
Instrument panel illuminates. See 44, SEAT
BELT (RED). The visual and audible warnings
applicable to the Seat belt reminder feature are
market dependent to meet individual market
requirements. The warning signals given may
also change depending on whether the vehicle
is stationary or when the vehicle speed exceeds
a pre-determined threshold. In certain markets,
the Seat belt reminder feature also applies to
the front passenger seat.
The Message centre also displays a front and
rear seat belt reminder that warns the driver
when the seat belt of any occupied seat is not
fastened or is unfastened during a journey.
