Installation Procedure

1. CLEAN SHOULDER BELT ANCHOR

NOTE:
^ Do not install the tape when the vehicle temperature is below the freezing point.

^ Do not re-use removed fluorocarbon resin tape.





A. Pull out the seat belt about 300 mm and attach a clip as shown in the illustration.

HINT:
Preventing the seat belt from retraction with a clip will make the following work easier.





B. Put the Velcro tape (in the parts kit) through the hole of the shoulder belt anchor, brush-shaped side to the anchor.





C. Pull both ends of the Velcro tape with your hand and shave off the dirt on the shoulder belt anchor by moving the Velcro tape several times as shown in the illustration.

NOTE:
Remove the dirt completely. Otherwise, the fluorocarbon resin tape may not adhere properly.

2. INSTALL FLUOROCARBON RESIN TAPE





A. Place the fluorocarbon resin tape onto the seat belt as shown in the illustration.

NOTE:
Before installation of the fluorocarbon resin tape, it is necessary to pre-release the colored film about 5 mm for each side. (Not fully released.)





B. By pulling up the seat belt, put the fluorocarbon resin tape through the hole of the shoulder belt anchor. Match the shoulder belt anchor to the center of the tape.





C. Remove the upper side colored film from the fluorocarbon resin tape, and securely affix the tape to the outside of the shoulder belt anchor.





D. Remove the lower side colored film from the fluorocarbon resin tape, and securely affix the tape to the outside of the shoulder belt anchor.

NOTE:
^ Be sure to affix the fluorocarbon tape securely along all edges.

^ Pay attention not to make any wrinkles or slack in the fluorocarbon resin tape.

E. Remove the clip.





F. By pulling the seat belt up and down several times, as shown in the illustration, securely affix the fluorocarbon resin tape and confirm the smoothness of the belt movement.

NOTE:
Affix the fluorocarbon resin tape on the shoulder belt anchor to the other side following the same procedure.

NOTE:
If the seat belt requires cleaning to remove dirt, only use a neutral detergent or lukewarm water to clean. Use the seat belt after it is completely dried, to confirm proper operation.
