Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Seat Belt

WARNING: If replacing seat belt is necessary, replace buckle and seat belt assembly together as a set. This is for the reason of ensuring locking of tongue plate with buckle. If these parts are replaced individually, such a locking condition may become unreliable. For this reason, SUZUKI will supply only the spare buckle and seat belt assembly in a set part.

Before servicing or replacing seat belts, refer to the following precautionary items.

Seat belts should be normal relative to strap retractor and buckle portions.
Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from belts.
Avoid bending or damaging any portion of belt buckle or latch plate.
Do not bleach or dye belt webbing. (Use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean it.)
When installing a seat belt anchor bolt, it should be tightened by hand at first to prevent cross-threading and then to specified torque.
Do not attempt any repairs on retractor mechanisms or retractor covers. Replace defective assemblies with new replacement parts.
Keep belts dry and clean at all times.
If there exist any parts in question, replace such parts.
Replace belts whose webbing is cut or otherwise damaged.
