Entretien et soin
Ceintures de sécurité
Avec un tissu ou une éponge, nettoyez à l’aide d’un savon doux et de l’eau tiède.
Vérifiez aussi les ceintures régulièrement pour vous assurer qu’elles ne présentent
pas d’usure excessive, d’effilochage ou de coupures.
ATTENTION
Dommages et usure de la ceinture de sécuritéVérifiez périodiquement le système de ceintures de sécurité. Assurez-vous qu’il
n’y a pas de coupures, d’effilochures ni de pièces desserrées. N’utilisez pas une
ceinture de sécurité endommagée avant qu’elle soit remplacée. Les ceintures de
sécurité endommagées ne peuvent pas protéger les occupants contre les
blessures.
