FAILURE TO REPLACE THE SAFETY BELT ASSEM BLY
UNDER THE ABOVE CONDITIO NS COULD RESULT
IN SEVERE PERSO NAL INJURIES IN THE EVENT OF
A COLLISIO N.
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 operate 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 .
Cleaning the Safety Belts
Clean the safety belts with any mild soap solu tion that is
recom mend ed for cleaning upholstery or carp ets. Do not bleach
or dye the belt webbing becau se this may weaken it.
