If your seat belts get dirty, use a sof t
brush with a mixture of mild soap
and warm water to clean them. Do
not use bleach, dye, or cleaning
solvents. Let the belts air-dry bef ore
you use the vehicle.Dirt build-up around the openings of
the seat belt anchors can cause the
belts to retract slowly. Wipe the
openings with a clean cloth
dampened in mild soap and warm
water or isopropyl alcohol.
The driver’s f loor mat that came
with your vehicle hooks over the
f loor mat anchors. This keeps the
f loor mat f rom sliding f orward and
possibly interf ering with the pedals.
