[. . . ] Repair or replace the damaged seat belt immediately at a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center. The light goes out when the driver's seat belt is securely fastened. If the light does not go off after fastening the seat belt, it means that there is a malfunction in the system. Have the seat belt system checked by a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center. Additional devices or accessories on the seat belt may result in improper operation. Do not add any adjusting devices which restrict the seat belt operation. Periodically inspect all parts of the belt and have the damaged parts replaced. The belt that has been overstretched in an accident must be replaced with a new one. Ssangyong recommends replacing all component parts of the seat belt after a collision. No replacement is required after a minor collision if a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center finds that no damage has occurred and everything is in proper working order. The seat belt components that were not used during a collision must also be inspected and replaced if they show signs of damage or faulty operation. SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG 16 2006-05-16, 8:30 WARNINGS FOR SEAT BELT Replace the entire seat belt assembly after a severe impact even if the damage is not obvious. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oil and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. The seat belt must be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. Sit back in the seat with the seatback in an upright position and wear the seat belt. If the seat belt is positioned too high or fastened too loose, it may not protect your body from an injury or death in the event of a collision. Do not recline the seatback more than needed for comfort while vehicle is in use. Seat belt is the most effective when the passenger sits back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined too much, then the risks of sliding under the lap belt and getting injured are increased. If the latch plate is inserted into a wrong buckle, the belt may exert pressure on your abdomen instead of your pelvis. If the seat belt is twisted, there will not be enough contact of the belt to spread the impact pressure. When pregnant women use the seat belt, consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. 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 hips, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
