FORD 2001 F-550 v.1 - Manual (Page 101)

Safety belt maintenance
Inspect the safety belt systems periodically to make sure they work
properly and are not damaged. Inspect the safety belts to make sure there
are no nicks, wears or cuts, replacing if necessary. All safety belt
assemblies, including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle assemblies,
buckle support assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt height
adjusters (if equipped), shoulder belt guide on seatback (if equipped),
child safety seat tether bracket assemblies (if equipped), LATCH child seat
tether anchors and lower anchors (if equipped), and attaching hardware,
should be inspected after a collision. Ford recommends that all safety belt
assemblies used in vehicles involved in a collision be replaced. However, if
the collision was minor and a qualified technician finds that the belts do
not show damage and continue to operate properly, they do not need to be
replaced. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be
inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.
Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the safety belt
assembly under the above conditions could result in severe
personal injuries in the event of a collision.
Refer to Cleaning and maintaining the safety belts in the
Maintenance and care section.
AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module
which records information about the air bag and sensor systems. In the
event of a collision this module may save information related to the
collision including information about the air bag system and impact
severity. This information will assist Ford in the servicing of your vehicle
and may help Ford better understand real world collisions and further
improve the safety of future vehicles.
