Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual: Cleaning seat belts
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
Large particles of dirt on the automatic belt prevent it from rolling back properly and thus from working effectively.
The seat belts must never be removed for cleaning purposes.
- Remove dirt with a soft brush .
- Carefully pull the dirty seat belt right out and leave it out.
- Clean the seat belt with a mild soap solution.
- Allow the seat belt fabric to dry completely.
- Do not allow the seat belt to roll up until it has dried completely.
WARNING
- Never use chemical cleaning agents on the seat belts or their components. Furthermore the seat belts may not come into contact with corrosive fluids, solvents or sharp objects. These could considerably weaken the webbing.
- After cleaning, allow seat belts to dry completely before rolling them up. Otherwise the automatic belt retractors could become damaged and thus impair their function.
- Avoid allowing foreign bodies or liquids to enter the slot for the seat belt buckle. This could prevent the belt buckle and seat belt from working properly.
- Never try to repair, modify or remove the seat belts yourself.
- Damaged seat belts must be replaced immediately with seat belts approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle type. Seat belts subjected to stress and stretched during an accident must be replaced by a qualified workshop. Renewal may be necessary even if there is no apparent damage. The belt anchorage should also be checked.
