Replacing Restraint System Parts

After a Crash

{CAUTION:

A crash can damage the restraint systems in

your vehicle. A damaged restraint system may

not properly protect the person using it,

resulting in serious injury or even death in a

crash. To help make sure your restraint systems

are working properly after a crash, have them

inspected and any necessary replacements

made as soon as possible.

If you have had a crash, do you need new belts or

LATCH system parts?

After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.

But if the belts were stretched, as they would be if worn

during a more severe crash, then you need new parts.

If the LATCH system was being used during a more

severe crash, you may need new LATCH system parts.

If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision

damage also may mean you will need to have LATCH

system, safety belt or seat parts repaired or replaced.

New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt

or LATCH system was not being used at the time of

the collision.

If your seat adjuster will not work after a crash, the

special part of the safety belt that goes through the seat

to the adjuster may need to be replaced.

If an airbag inﬂates, you will need to replace airbag

system parts. See the part about the airbag system

earlier in this manual.
