Cleaning seat belts
If the seat belt is very dirty, the belt retractor may not work correctly thus
preventing the seat belt from operating correctly.
The seat belts should never be removed from the vehicle for cleaning.
x Use a soft brush to remove the worst dirt .
x Pull the seat belt right out and leave it out.
x Clean dirty seat belts with a gentle soap and water solution.
x Wait until they are completely dry.
x Only allow the seat belt to retract when it is completely dry.
WARNING
Check the condition of all the seat belts at regular intervals. If the webbing
or other parts of the belt are damaged, the vehicle should be taken to a
qualified workshop immediately and the belts should be replaced. It is
extremely dangerous to drive using damaged seat belts and could result in
serious injury or loss of life.
x Seat belts and their components must never be cleaned with chemical
products, nor should they be allowed to come into contact with corrosive
liquids, solvents or sharp objects. This could affect the strength of the seat
belt webbing.
x Seat belts should be completely dry before retracting. Damp could
damage the belt retractor so that it is does not operate correctly.
x Do not allow liquids or foreign bodies to enter the buckle fastenings.
This could damage the buckles and seat belts.
x Never attempt to repair, modify or remove a seat belt yourself.
x Always have damaged seatbelts replaced immediately by seat belts
approved for the vehicle in question by SEAT. Seat belts which have been
worn in an accident and stretched must be replaced by a qualified work-
shop. Renewal may be necessary even if there is no apparent damage. The
belt anchorage should also be checked.
