How to keep the seat belts always in efficient conditions

Observe the following:

❒ Always use the belt with the tape taut and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments;
❒ After a serious accident, replace the belt being worn at that time, even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the seat belts if pretensioners have been activated;
❒ To clean the belts, wash by hand with neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach or dyes or other chemical substance that might weaken the fibres;
❒ Prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside;
❒ Replace the seat belt when showing significant wear or cut signs.
