SeatingandSafetyRestraints
After any vehicle  collision, the seat  belt system at all  outboard
seating positions (except  driver, which has  noautomatic  locking
retractorfeature) must  be checked by  a qualified technician to  verify
that theautomatic   locking retractorfeature  for child seats is  still
functioning properly. In  addition, all seat  belts should be checked  for
proper function.
BELT AND RETRACTOR  ASSEMBLY MUST BE  REPLACED if
the seat belt  assemblyautomatic  locking  retractorfeature or

The driver and  front outboard passenger  safety belt system (including
retractors, buckles and  height adjusters) must  be replaced if the  vehicle
