The principles for using seat belts are as follows: High-hanging, low-use: The service life of a seat belt is generally 3 to 5 years, and it should be scrapped in advance if abnormalities are found; Before using a seat belt, a visual inspection should be conducted; The waist belt, safety belt, and rope of the seat belt should have sufficient mechanical strength, the material should be wear-resistant, and the buckle (hook) should have a safety device; If using the same type of seat belt, components should not be replaced arbitrarily. Seat belts that have suffered severe impact should not be used even if their appearance remains unchanged. The waist belt, safety belt, and rope of the seat belt should have sufficient mechanical strength, the material should be wear-resistant, and the buckle (hook) should have a safety device. Safety belts or ropes with a length exceeding 3 meters should be equipped with a buffer. Seat belts must be installed in conjunction with the seat and should not be dismantled arbitrarily; If a seat belt has once endured a strong tensile load during use, it should be replaced even if undamaged and should not be continued to be used; When a seat belt is dirty, mild soap and water can be used as cleaning agents, scrubbed with a cloth or sponge. Do not use dyes or bleach, as they can corrode the seat belt and reduce its tensile strength. Also, avoid using a hard brush to scrub, as it may cause damage to the seat belt. When the performance of a seat belt is poor, it must be replaced; If using a seat belt not registered with the FIA, its thickness should be no less than 1.5 mm and width no less than 50 mm.
