belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged

repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts replaced.

have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)

may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if needed.
