Buckle End, Gray, Passenger Side

A seat belt system must undergo detailed assessment and maintenance following a collision because it concerns safety standards. All seat belts which came under use in a crash needing automatic restraint activation must get replacement. All car seat integration systems should be replaced no matter if they secure adults or child safety equipment which includes LATCH system components alongside top tether anchorages. All seat belt components should be replaced including those for adult seats and built-in child restraints along with components of the LATCH system. You need to replace the seat belts when either "REPLACE" or "CAUTION" text labels appear or a yellow tag exists yet avoid replacement if only the child seat caution tag shows up. When uncertain of the seat belt system condition one should choose to replace the entire unit. A complete replacement of the seat belt system's components including buckle, guide and retractor assembly and latch elements together with the webbing material is required instead of single element replacement. Replacement of seat belt systems after minor impacts that did not activate automatic restraint devices will only be necessary if inspection reveals torn, damaged or worn parts of the system.

The replacement operation for the center front seat belt begins with removing the front seat. Drill out the seat-belt retaining rivet behind the front seat track with a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) drill bit until the rivet hole is free. Be cautious to avoid enlarging the hole size. The new seat belt installation on the front seat track requires a new rivet at the rear for alignment while securing the front seat belt to the track. Finally, reinstall the front seat.

Safety requires a thorough examination and necessary repairs of the seat belt system after a collision. The replacement must happen to any seat belt system which faced automatic restraint activation because of a dangerous collision with air bags and seat belt pretensioners. All passenger seat belts and restraints for children need replacement in addition to LATCH system components and top tether anchorages. All seat belt components need replacement when they exhibit torn or worn condition or anyone shows damage regardless of the component type - adult belts or child restraint features or parts of the LATCH system. You must replace the seat belt system when either "REPLACE" or "CAUTION" labels appear or a yellow tag exists but do not replace it in the event of a child seat warning label alone. Users should replace the seat belt system if they have any uncertainties about its state. The complete seat belt system demands replacement because it requires substitution of the buckle together with both the guide and retractor assembly as well as new latch and webbing material instead of replacing parts separately. The seat belt system might require replacement only if automatic deployment devices have not activated and parts have obvious signs of damage.
