All of our seat belt products carry the certification mark of Standards Australia which is your assurance of the quality, and if installed in accordance with the instructions below, will provide the required degree of protection to the wearer in most accidents. We are the major original equipment supplier of seat belts in Australia and strive to present the Australian consumer the best products in quality and performance.

WARNING!
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing of the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.

TO GET THE FULL BENEFIT FROM AN AUTOLIV AFTERMARKET SEAT BELT:

IT MUST BE FIRMLY ADJUSTED - This is to be consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which it has be designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.

IT MUST NOT BE TWISTED

THE LAP SECTION MUST BE WORN ACROSS THE HIPS

EACH SEAT BELT MUST ONLY RESTRAIN ONE OCCUPANT - It is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on an adult’s lap

DO NOT ALLOW SEAT BELTS TO CONTACT CHEMICALS - Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, particularly battery acid.

CLEAN WITH A DAMP CLOTH - Using mild soap and water.

REPLACE THE SEAT BELT IF DAMAGED, FRAYED, CONTACTED BY CHEMICALS OR WORN IN A SEVERE CRASH

Seat belts should not be anchored to unsound metal, to wooden or plastic structures, or to seats (unless anchor location has been provided by the vehicle manufacturer). Seat belt should not be attached to child restraint anchors provided in the vehicle.

HOW TO FIT AND WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT CORRECTLY:
To “Buckle Up” slide the tongue into the slot at the open end of the buckle. It is correctly engaged when you hear a positive ‘click’.

LAP SASH COMBINATION BELTS:
To adjust the belt, feed the slack webbing through the tongue from the lap part of the Belt. Finally, tighten by pulling the loose end of the webbing through the adjuster located on the outboard sash section of the belt just above the shoulder.

LAP SASH COMBINATION BELTS FOR FRONT SEATS:

1. Adjust the seat to the most convenient driving position

2. To adjust the belt, feed the slack webbing through the tongue from the lap part of the belt. Finally tighten by pulling the loose end of the webbing through the adjuster located on the outboard sash section of the belt just above the shoulder

3. To lengthen the belt, tilt the adjuster away from the webbing (about 30°) while pulling on the sash section of the belt.

LAP SASH COMBINATION BELTS FOR REAR SEATS:

1. To adjust the belt, feed the slack webbing through the tongue from the lap part of the belt. Finally tighten by pulling the loose end of the webbing through the adjuster located on the outboard sash section of the belt just above the shoulder

2. To lengthen the belt, tilt the adjuster away from the webbing (about 30°) while pulling on the sash section of the belt.

LAP BELTS:

NOTE: The length adjuster on a lap belt is incorporated on the tongue.

TO ADJUST THE BELTS:
Pull on short end of webbing on the tongue side of the belt. This will cause the webbing to tighten.

THE INERTIA REEL SEAT BELT:
The Emergency Locking Retractor type seat belt will automatically retract the webbing to the body after the tongue and buckle are engaged. This type of seat belt allows freedom of movement to the wearer to reach controls, but automatically locks when the mechanism is activated by impact or rapid speed changes or changes in vehicle direction. A firm application of the brakes when the vehicle is in motion, or a sharp tug on the webbing will lock the belt and testing can be carried out by this procedure. The only adjustment necessary for Inertia Reel belts is to ensure that the buckle is located at the point of the hip prior to engaging the tongue into the buckle. To engage the tongue to the buckle, grasp the tongue, which will be located just above the shoulder, pull gently to extend the webbing from the reel, engage tongue into the buckle. The Inertia Reel will automatically retract the webbing to the body. No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjustment devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly being adjusted to remove slack.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
‘Buckle Up’ and check that the buckle is correctly located at the hip point. The lower webbing strap (Lap) and upper webbing strap (Sash) should pass across your pelvic area and upper torso respectively. Operate the adjuster to achieve this and make sure the straps are not slack at any point. You should be able to slide your hand between your chest and the sash strap. Be comfortable, but “too tight” is better than “too loose”. To release the belt, push the button in the centre of the buckle while applying a slight forward body pressure.

SEAT BELT STOWAGE: LAP SASH COMBINATION BELTS.
The seat belt when not in use should be stowed away by hanging the tongue on the stowage hook provided. Your seat belt has been designed and manufactured to very strict standards. In your own interests you should WEAR IT AT ALL TIMES when driving your car, even for short trips to the corner shop. Fatal accidents can occur within short distances of home and at low speeds. There is no doubt that seat belts, correctly worn can reduce the incidence of fatalities and serious injury. Your seat belt will give you valuable protection, but IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IN THE INTERESTS OF YOUR OWN SAFETY TO DRIVE CAREFULLY AT ALL TIMES.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

REPLACE YOUR SEAT BELT IF:

(a) The vehicle was involved in a serious accident.

(b) The webbing or fittings become damaged.

The seat belts are factory installed in their proper locations. If the seat belts or buckles are removed or replaced for any reason, they should be installed as originally fitted, and must not be re-located or re-positioned. Sealer should be placed sparingly around all floor pan seat anchor bolt holes during assembly.

Seat belts may not be serviced by individual assemblies, retractor assemblies or buckle assemblies. The belt should be installed in the matched set as received, and must not be interchanged between models.

If a component portion of a seat belt assembly is non-functional or damaged, it must be replaced by the equivalent component from the recommended kits.

If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, those seat belts used during the collision which are strained or damaged, should be replaced for safety reasons.

Retaining bolts or nuts must be assembled without stripping or cross threading (this requires hand starting) and must be tightened to the required torque.

CLEANING:
Wash the webbing with a commercial soap or detergent. Do not use carbon tetrachloride, naphtha or any hydrocarbon based cleaning fluid.

Bleaching or re-dying of the seat belts is not recommended because of deterioration which may be caused to the webbing. Inspect for loose, cut or damaged webbing.
