Land Rover Defender: Seat belts

Do not allow any water, cleaning products, or fabric from cloths to enter the seat belt mechanism. Any substance which enters the mechanism may affect the performance of the seat belt in an impact. Damage to the seat belt can greatly reduce its effectiveness in reducing the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

Extend the seat belts fully, then use warm water and a non-detergent soap to clean.

Allow the seat belts to dry naturally while fully extended.

Note: While cleaning the seat belt, take the opportunity to examine the webbing for damage/wear. Any wear or damage should be reported to, and rectified by a retailer/authorized repairer.

AIR BAG MODULE COVERS

Air bag covers should be cleaned using only a slightly dampened cloth and a small amount of upholstery cleaner.

Some cleaning products may cause damage to air bag covers and air bags which can lead to serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

Do not allow the air bag covers, or surrounding areas, to become contaminated with liquids. Any substance which enters the mechanism can prevent correct deployment of an air bag during an impact and may cause serious injury or death.

CARPET AND MATS

Correctly secure the floor mats before driving. Never place mats on top of each other. Unsecured or incorrectly positioned mats can obstruct the brake and/or accelerator pedal, which can result in accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.

Marks or stains can be removed by gentle scrubbing with a weak solution of soap and warm water.

For more stubborn stains, a commercially available carpet cleaner should be used.
