Honda CR-V: Seat Belts / Seat Belt Inspection
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
- Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
- Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts
retract
easily.
- If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the
problem. Only
use a mild soap and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents.
Make
sure the belt is completely dry before allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide
proper
protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of
protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer
after
any collision.
WARNING
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can
result in serious injury or death if the seat
belts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have
any problem corrected as soon as possible.
If you are pregnant, the best way to protect yourself and your unborn child
when
driving or riding in a vehicle is to always wear a seat belt and keep the lap
part of the
belt as low as possible across the hips...
