Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash If you've had a crash, do you need new belts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if the belts were stretched, a s they w o ~ ~be l d if worn during a more severe crash, then you need new belts. If you ever see a label on the driver's safety belt buckle that says to replace the buckle assembly, be sure to do so. Then the new buckle assernbly will be there to help protect you i n a collision. If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may mean you will need to have safety belt or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt wasn't being used at the time of the collision. If an air bag inflates, you'll need to replace air bag system parts. See the part on the air bag system earlier in this section. CAUTION ATTENTION injury. buckle assembly must be replaced. See Owner's Manual Pour aider ?
