Periodically check the seat belt reminder, seat belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped), and seat belt anchorages to make sure they are all in working order. Look for any other loose or damaged seat belt system parts that might keep a seat belt system from performing properly. See your dealer to have it repaired. Torn or frayed seat belts may not protect you in a crash.
They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, have it replaced immediately.
Make sure the seat belt reminder light is working. See Seat Belt Reminders.
Keep seat belts clean and dry. See Seat Belt Care.
