GENERAL INFORMATIONSeat belts should be worn whenever the vehicle is in motion. The operation and mounting of the belts should not be tampered with at any time. When removal, installation, or repair is necessary, refer to illustrations for proper system location and mounting hardware. If the belts are removed for any reason, and the vehicle is to be driven, the seat belt retaining bolts should be reinstalled to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. All seat belt mounting bolts should be torqued to 350 inch pounds +/- 150 inch pounds (40 Nm +/- 17 Nm).
