Seat belts Caring for seat belts Regularly inspect the belt webbing for signs of wear, paying particular attention to the fixing points and adjusters. Always replace a seat belt that has withstood the strain of an impact or shows signs of fraying. DO NOT bleach or dye the webbing. Clean the webbing using warm water and non-detergent soap only-allow to dry naturally and DO NOT retract the belt until completely dry. 17 Testing inertia reel belts From time to time carry out the following tests: 1. With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing near the buckle a quick upward pull. The buckle must remain securely locked. 2. With the seat belt unfastened, unreel the webbing to the limit of its travel. Check that unreeling is free from snatches and snags. 3. With the webbing half unreeled, hold the tongue plate and give it a quick forward pull. The safety mechanism must lock automatically and prevent any further unreeling.
