Safety Belt Main ten ance
Check the safety belt system s period ically to
make sure that they work prop erly and are not
dam aged .
All safety belt assem blies, inclu ding retractors,
bu ckles, front seat belt bu ckle support assem blies
(slid e bar) (if equ ipped), child safety seat tether
bracket assem blies (if equ ipped), and attaching
hard ware, shou ld be insp ected after any
collision. Ford recom mend s that all safety belt
assem blies used in vehicles involved in a
collision be rep laced . How ever, if the collision
was minor and a qu alified technician find s that
the belts do not show dam age and continu e to
op erate prop erly, they do not need to be
rep laced . Safety belt assem blies not in use
during a collision shou ld also be insp ected and
rep laced if either dam age or improp er operation
is noted .
