For 1990-2009 cars

Before servicing or replacing lap and shoulder belts, including single loop seat belt systems, refer to the following precautions:

• | Clean the seat belt webbing with a mild soap and water solution only, using a soft brush or cloth.

• | Do not bleach or dye the seat belt webbing.

• | Keep sharp edges and other damaging objects away from the seat belts.

• | Replace any seat belts which are cut or damaged in any way.

• | Do not bend or damage any portion of the seat belt buckle or the latch plate.

• | Use only the correct seat belt anchor bolts and nuts and tighten them to the correct torque value. Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications .

• | Start the anchor bolts and nuts by hand to ensure that they are not cross-threaded.

• | Seat belts and retractors must be serviced as a set with service replacement parts only. Do not attempt to make repairs to the individual components.

• | Do not remove the seat belt retractor cover. The seat belt retractor cover and the long rivet securing the belt retractor cover to the retractor are not available as service replacement parts.

• | Verify that the replacement part number is correct for the vehicle at that seating position. Do not substitute a seat belt from a different seating position.

• | Replace any seat belts which have a visible CAUTION label instructing replacement.
