Replacing Seat and Restraint System
Parts After a Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new safety belts or
built-in child restraint parts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But if the safety belts or built-in child restraint harness
straps were stretched, as they would be if worn during a
more severe crash, then
you need new safety belts or
harness straps.
If safety belts or built-in child restraint harness straps
are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also
may mean you will need to have safety belt, built-in
child restraint or seat parts repaired or replaced. New
parts and repairs may
be necessary even if the safety belt
or built-in child restraint wasn’t being used at the time
of the collision.
Before replacing any safety belt, see your retailer for the
colrect part number. You’ll need the model year and
model number for your vehicle.
The model year is on
your title and registration. And you can find the model
number on the Certificationmire label
of your vehicle.
See “CertificatiodTire Label” in the Index. The model number on the replacement belt must
be
listed on the safety belt you want to replace. Pull the
shoulder belt all the way out to see this label.

Cleaning Leather
Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap or
saddle soap.
0
0 For stubborn stains, use a mild solution of 10%
isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and 90% water.
Never use oils, varnishes, solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners, furniture polish
or shoe polish on leather.
Soiled leather should be cleaned immediately.
If dirt
is allowed to work into the finish, it can harm the
leather.
Cleaning the Top of the Instrument Panel
Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces
of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones or
waxes may cause annoying reflections in the windshield
and even make it difficult
to see through the windshield
under certain conditions.
Vacuum the carpeted area as needed, and clean as you
would any other carpet.
Cleaning the Built-In Child
Restraint Pad
The built-in child restraint pad is attached to the seat
frame with fastener strips. You can remove the pad and
hand wash it with mild soap and water.
Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
