Checking Your Seat/Shoulder Belts

*VERY EASY*

Check your vehicle's seat/shoulder belts every two months according to the following procedure:

  1. Observe the anchor bolts in the floor pans and make sure they are tight. Tighten them if they are loose.
  2. Inspect the seat belt and shoulder belt straps. They should not be twisted, cut or frayed. If the seat belt or shoulder belt is twisted, loosen the anchor bolt, untwist the belt, then retighten the anchor bolt. If the seat belt material is defective, have it replaced.
  3. Check the belt buckles and clasps to make sure they lock tightly and release correctly.
  4. Be certain the belt retractor permits full extension of the belt and also retracts it smoothly.

If your seat belt or shoulder belt requires repair or replacement, have the work performed by a professional automotive technician. Improper repair work could jeopardize the safety of vehicle occupants.
