safety features

Many features for safe driving are incorporated in the design of your P76. Most of these features are apparent, such as a seat belt for every passenger, an energy-absorbing steering column, retracting windscreen wipers, cushioned instrument panel , interior sun visors, reversing lamps, break-away interior rear-view mirror, etc .

One of the most important safety features in your car is the seat belt. It is a proven fact that the correct use of seat belts greatly reduces the risk of injury in an accident. You are reminded that wearing of seat belts in Australia is required by law and we suggest that you encourage all vehicle occupants to use the seat belts provided for them . For full instructions on the operation of the seat belts in your car refer Pages 16 to 19.

The energy-absorbing steering column in your car has been designed to reduce the risk of driver injury in an accident. The steering wheel has also been devised as an integrated part of the steering column energy-absorbing system.

The break-away rear-vision mirror, padded instrument column and padded interior sun visor have been incorporated to reduce the possibility of passenger injury in the event of an accident. Glare-reducing paints and finishes have been used in the instrument panel , steering column , steering wheel and retracting windscreen wipers to reduce the incidences of reflected glare from the sun .

To enlarge on some of the more important items included in the complete list on the opposite page, we take the tandem brake master cylinder system. This incorporates dual hydraulic circuits, which means that if either the front or rear system fails , the remaining system still functions, thus minimising the risk of complete brake failure. It is important to note that in the event of one system failing, the overall braking efficiency will be greatly reduced.

The new vehicle Care taken in driving a vehicle in its early life will be repaid in greater efficiency later. The engine has been carefully assembled and tested before leaving the factory, following which the selling dealer has thoroughly prepared and rechecked the entire vehicle before delivery. It is suggested that for the first 800 km (500 miles) 93 km / h (58 m.p.h.) or 3500 rev / min is not exceeded ; and the vehicle should not be operated at full throttle or the engine allowed to labour in any gear. Starting the engine Ensure that the gear lever is in the neutral pOSition and that the hand brake is applied . Turn the ignition key clockwise and release it as soon as the engine starts. Ensure that the oil pressure and all warning lights are off before driving away. Choke Control (6 cylinder engines) Starting the engine in cold weather, pull out the choke control. A little practice will determine the appropriate amount. Immediately the engine starts, reposition the choke control to give smooth running and enough power to drive the vehicle whilst cold . DO NOT use the choke when the engine is hot.

Automatic Choke 8 Cylinder Engines only Operation Cold Starting Depress the accelerator almost to the floor and then release. This action allows the choke to close and the fast idle cam to open the throttle sufficiently to prevent engine stalling during the warm up period. As the

driving

engine warms up , the choke will progressively open and the idle speed reduce until the engine has reached normal operating temperature. At this point the choke will be in the released position and the engine idles at the predetermined speed . Engine Hot Depress the accelerator approximately half way and hold in this position until the engine starts, then allow the accelerator to return to idle position . Engine Flooded Depress the accelerator to the floor and hold in this position while operating the starter. Do not 'pump' the accelerator as this will aggravate the flooding . When the engine starts, release the accelerator to a fast idle speed .

Driving hints (Manual transmission models) DO NOT attempt to start the engine whilst in gear. DO NOT leave the ignition on when the engine is not running . DO NOT slip the clutch in traffic or when travelling uphill . DO NOT use the clutch pedal as a footrest. DO NOT coast the vehicle with a gear engaged and the clutch held depressed. DO NOT under any circumstances run the engine in a closed garage or similar restricted atmosphere. Exhaust fumes are highly poisonous and , if inhaled , could quickly produce grave, if not fatal results . It is not necessary to warm the engine for a prolonged period before driving away. Manual transmission The three speed fully synchronised forward , non

22

synchronised reverse gear, steering column shift lever operates in the popular 'H' pattern as illustrated . Reverse and first selection is achieved by lifting against light spring pressure. The four forward speed synchromesh gearbox has a floo r mounted gear shift lever with shift pattern as illustrated. To select reverse gear downward pressure in the neutral position is required to move the lever to the left across the gate and forward into mesh. Selection of forward gears should normally take place in 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 sequence co-ordinating the clutch and accelerator pedal operation . Reverse gear must not be selected unless the vehicle is stationary.

Automatic transmission Description The usual flywheel and clutch are replaced by a fluid torque converter coupled to a hydraulically operated planetary gear box providing three forward ratios and reverse. All forward ratios are automatically engaged with the selector in the '0 ' position in accordance with accelerator position , and road speed . Automatic selection may be over-ridden by manual selection of first or second ratio using the selector lever when engine braking or increased acceleration desired . Driving features The automatic transmission has advantages over a manually selected gearbox, which wil soon become apparent in time saved , safer driving , less driving fatigue.

The technique of driving a car fitted with automatic transmission to its fullest advantage is very soon mastered . The following points, however, must always be observed .

DO NOT select 'PARK' or 'R' while the car is moving; always apply the hand brake before selecting 'PARK'. DO NOT select '0 ', '2' , '1', or 'R' when the engine is running at high speed with the car stationary. DO NOT select '2' or '1' at speeds above 96 km / h (60 mph) 6 Cylinder Models, 99 km / h (62 mph) 8 Cylinder Models. Selector positions. The positions for manual selection are marked 'PARK', 'R', 'N', '0 ', '2' and '1' , on the selector lever quadrant plate. The stop (1) provided between 'N' and 'R' is to minimize inadvertent selection of 'PARK' or 'R' while the car is moving.

PARK In this position the transmission is mechanically locked. Use this position when parked , starting, or when the car is stationary with the engine running for tuning or adjustment. DO NOT select 'PARK', when the car is moving , and always apply the hand brake before selecting 'PARK' . R - Reverse DO NOT select 'R' when the car is moving forward . The reverse lights operate automatically when 'R' is selected with the ignition switched on . N - Neutral The hand brake must be applied at all times when the lever is in 'N'. This position may also be used for starting .

driving

o - Drive This position is used when driving in normal traffic and road conditions. Changes of all forward ratios are automatic. 2 - Lock-up second ratio Automatic changes are confined to first and second ratios only. This position is used when rapid acceleration or engine braking is required . DO NOT select '2' at speeds above 96 km / h (60 mph) 6 Cylinder Models, 99 km / h (62 mph) 8 Cylinder Models. 1 - Lock-up first ratio This position may be selected at any road speed below 96 km / h (60 mph) 6 cylinder models, 99 km / tl (62 mph) 8 cylinder models, but the first ratio will not engage until the road speed is below 32 km / h (20 mph). Starting the engine The procedure given for manual transmissions for starting the engine also applies to cars fitted with automatic transmission . The following pOints, should be noted . The starter will only operate when the selector lever is in the 'PARK' or 'N' positions. Driving In selecting a driving position when stationary always release the accelerator pedal and apply the foot brake before moving the selector lever to the required position . This will prevent the car from 'creeping ' (Le. a tendency for the car to move very slowly forward if '0 ', '2', or '1' is selected, backwards, when 'R' is selected). This creeping feature can be used to advantage when manoeuvring in a confined space. Moving off The selector can be in anyone of the forward driving positions '0 ', '2', or '1' selection of the position

being dependent on prevailing circumstances. After releasing the brakes, moving off will be smooth regardless of how much the accelerator pedal is depressed. Discretion in the use of the accelerator must be exercised when in slippery road conditions or if optimum fuel economy is to be achieved . Selector in '0' The automatic selection of all forward ratios takes place progressively up or down in accordance with changes in road speed and accelerator position .

Your car is equipped with a heating , demisting and ventilating system, with a two speed blower fan as standard equipment. With the forward movement of the vehicle , air enters the plenum chamber and passes through various control sections of the unit and through the facia, floor and demister vents as required . Extractor vents located in the rear quarters of the vehicle complete the through ventilation system. To heat the car interior, outside air is ducted to flow through the matrix, which is heated by the circulation of engine coolant.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM Temperature Control Moving the left hand control lever (1) upwards allows engine coolant passing through the heater matrix to warm the incoming air. Position A: maximum heat when the engine has reached normal operating temperature. Position 8: an intermediate temperature with the engine at normal operating temperature. Air Flow Moving the centre control lever (2) upwards progressively opens the air channels to the demister ducts and the car interior. Position 'c ' maximum flow to demisters. From 'C ' to position ' 0 ' movement of the lever gradually reduces demisting and increases flow to the interior of the car.

Booster Fan Lift the lever (3) upwards, first position is low speed, second position is high speed . The fan is for use when the vehicle is stationary, travelling at low speed, or to augment the air supply during extreme weather conditions. DO NOT operate the fan with both the air flow lever in the off position and the facia vents control closed or the motor will become overloaded . A resistor for the two speed fan motor is situated inside the heater unit.

Facia Vents Additional fresh air is provided from air-ducts on the lower facia panel. The volume of air entering the car may be individually controlled by either the driver or passenger, by opening or closing the valves in the vent. The control for this is a push-pull knob at the side of the vent. Air flow direction may be altered by turning the chrome knob in the centre of the vent. The air supply to these vents will be at the prevailing ambient temperature and is fan boosted .

Floor Level Vents The floor level vents are incorporated in the lower kick panel on either side of the vehicle . Ambient air is drawn from the plenum chamber and ducted to the front floor via the ' A' post cavities. Separate control of flow and shut off is provided on each vent, to open pull slide and to shut off push slide closed .

NOTE On basic model heaters the temperature control only regulates the flow of air through the heater matrix.

Engine Initial Oil Fill The engine has been filled with a high grade oil before leaving the factory. It is unnecessary to change this oil prior to the recommendation given in the LUBRICATION section . The oil to be used once this initial fill oil is removed must comply with the specifications given in the 'Recommended Lubrication ' section . CAUTION Non detergent and other low quality oils are specifically not recommended . The use of 'break-in' oils, 'tune-up ' compounds, 'friction-reducing ' compounds is not recommended .

8 Cylinder Engine It requ ires approximately .9 litre (1 % pints) to raise the oil level from the 'Min ' mark to the 'Max' mark. Correct oil level readings cannot be obtained immediately after stopping the engine as considerable quantities of oil will still be suspended in the upper regions of the hot engine. Dipstick read ings must be taken with the vehicle standing on level ground after allowing approximately 10 to 15 minutes for the suspended oil to return to the crankcase.

Oil Changing The engine oil should be changed every 10,000 km (6000 miles) or 6 months whichever is the earlier, under normal operating conditions. More arduous operation such as stop-start runn ing , slow heavy traffic or very dusty atmospheres demand more frequent oil changes. The advice of the Leyland Dealer should be taken on th is aspect. Draining the Oil The engine oil should be changed when hot.

Location 6 Cylinder Engine Mounted on the left hand side front of the cylinder block. 8 Cylinder Engine Mounted on the base of the oil pump housing in the front of the engine. To remove the filter, unscrew it (anti-clockwise) from the base using a universal removing and replacing tool. When fitting a new filter, lubricate the sealing rings with engine oil, screw on the canister by hand until firm contact is made between seals and base plate. Mark the position of the canister and tighten a further % turn approximately using the tool. Check for oil leaks immediately the engine is started . Should the oil filter be changed at some time when the engine oil is not changed , it will be necessary to add approximately .6 litre (1 pint) of oil to the crankcase of the engine.

Engine Oil Consumption It is important to note that all internal-combustion engines, if operating correctly , should use a certain amount of oil ; especially during the running in period . Factors that contribute to oil consumption apart from mechanical malfunction are; the grade of oil , the seating of piston rings, the oil level , the vehicle operating conditions. The engine oil performs the duties of lubricating the

lubrication

cylinder walls , pistons and rings and valve stems, each of which consume small quantities of the lubricant. A film of oil is left on the cylinder walls and burned on the next firing stroke, whilst a film on the valve stems is drawn into the combustion chamber and burned . Points to note in an endeavour to eliminate excessive oil consumption :-1. An overfilled engine allows reciprocating parts of the engine to splash oil onto the cylinder walls in quantities greater than the piston rings can control. This oil is drawn into the combustion chambers and burned . 2. Driving below normal operating temperatures for excessive periods causes the engine oil to become diluted with fuel and moisture which settles in the crankcase, thus creating a false level. Such a vehicle subsequently driven at normal temperature for a long distance would cause the dilution elements to evaporate registering a low oil level. 3. High engine speeds, will increase oil consumption due to the increased temperature lowering the viscosity of the oil and allowing more oil to reach the combustion chamber.

Cooling System The function of the cooling system is to keep the engine at its most efficient operating temperature for all driving conditions. This is maintained by the use of a pressurised system operating at 90 kPa (13 Ibf. in .2 ) in all P76 models. Coolant circulation is by thermosyphon action assisted by an impeller type water pump, belt driven from the engine crankshaft.

Draining the System To drain the system, remove the radiator pressure cap. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE CAP WHILE SYSTEM IS HOT. On 6 cylinder models remove bottom radiator hose and remove the cylinder block drain plug adjacent to the oil dipstick tube. On 8 cylinder models remove the two drain plugs one on the left bank adjacent to NO.7 cylinder, one on the right bank adjacent to NO.4 cylinder and bottom radiator hose. When refilling it is recommended that after filling, the engine be run until warm and the operating level of the coolant be adjusted to within 25 mm (1 in .) of the bottom of the filler neck. IMPORTANT NOTE:- Never fill or top up the aluminium va cylinder model engines with water only. To avoid damage to the engine, the recommended mixture of inhibitor and water must be used at all times - refer to Capacities - Recommended Lubricants Sections. Coolant Inhibitors It is essential to use a high quality chemical inhibitor in the coolant to obviate the formation of rust and corrosive deposits in the system . NOTE Soluble oil types of additives must not be used .

CAUTION The cooling system inhibitor concentrate and the coolant solution , is toxic and must not be consumed under any circumstances.

Anti Freeze Fluid Water when it freezes expands and if precautions are not taken there is considerable risk of bursting components within the cooling system. When a vehicle is operating in conditions where the prevailing ambient temperatures are below freezing , an anti freeze solution must be added to the coolant. These should conform to the specifications outlined in Recommended Lubricants section and the manufacturers ' instructions for application strictly adhered to . NOTE When anti freeze is not required, the system should be drained as soon as possible and refilled with the approved corrosion inhibitor.

Distributor Regular attention to the lubrication of the d.istributor is important. Each 10,000 km (6000 miles) the distributor drive spindle, cam and advance mechanism should receive the following attention :- a drop of oil on the contact breaker pivot (1), a smear of grease on the cam (2) and a few drops of oil in the cam spindle-centre (3).

Spark Plugs Plugs which are oily, dirty or corroded cannot give good results. The correct gap must be maintained at .635 mm (.025 in .). Adjustment can be effected by bending the outer electrode if necessary. Only the recommended plug must be used .

.,--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~ ." -.--~~- The foot operated hydraulic braking system employs disc

on the front wheels and drum brakes on the rear. The brake pedal is connected direct to a dual master cylinder which provides separate hydraulic systems for the front disc and rear drum assemblies. This safety feature ensures that the vehicle can be stopped effectively in the event of a failure in either the front or rear hydrauliC system. Master-Vac (Vacuum Servo Assisted) - Executive, Super and Deluxe Models. Power assistance from engine intake manifold vacuum is utilized to reduce pedal effort. NOTE On such occasions as engine stall or when being towed without the engine operating , your vehicle will be without servo assistance. Precautions should be taken to ensure that running under these conditions is limited as extra effort will be required when applying the brake pedal. Hand brake The parking hand brake is situated on the floor to the right hand side of the drivers seat. Pulling the lever in an upward direction applies the brake. The lever has been designed so that, after application of the hand brake, the lever returns to a position low enough to allow driver access. To release, lift the hand brake lever, press the knob on the end of the lever and lower lever to the floor. Master cylinder (non boosted) mounted on the engine bulkhead. The fluid level may be checked by removing the screwed cap. Correct fluid level is 6.35 mm (114 in) below the filler neck. Use only the fluid recommended . Strict cleanliness is essential.

Master cylinder (boosted) Release the wire clip retaining the top cover, remove cover and gasket and add sufficient fluid to restore the level to approximately 6.35 mm (114 in) below top of reservoir.

Preventive maintenance In addition to the recommended periodical inspection of brake components, it is advisable, as a precaution against the effects of wear and deterioration , to make a more searching inspection and renew parts as necessary. It is recommended that:-1. Disc brake pads, drum brake linings, hoses and pipes should be examined at intervals no greater than those laid down in the maintenance service schedules. 2. Brake fluids should be changed completely every 18 months or 30,000 km (18,000 miles), whichever is the sooner to avoid corrosion of working parts. 3. All fluid seals in the hydraulic system and all flexible hoses should be examined and renewed if necessary every 3 years or 58,000 km (36,000 miles) whichever is the sooner. At the same time the working surface of the pistons and of bores of the master cylinder, wheel cylinders and slave cylinders should be examined and new parts fitted where necessary.

Brake fluid (a) At all times use the recommended brake fluid . (b) Never leave fluid in unsealed containers, as modern brake fluids absorb moisture quickly and , if used, may result in corrosion to operating parts or dangerous reduction of the boiling point of the fluid . This could cause brake failure .

STEERING The vehicle is fitted with a rack and pinion type steering gear. The steering column incorporates an energy-absorbing unit mounted between the steering wheel and upper steering column . This provides greatly increased driver protection in the event of an accident or collision . The padded steering wheel is designed to support the driver while the energy-absorbing element collapses at a pre-determined rate , reducing the possibility of driver injury. The manual steering requires 4.92 turns of the wheel to move the front wheels from lock to lock.

Power Steering (where fitted) The power steering unit reduces the physical effort to steer the vehicle and at the same time provides precise control and 'feel' . Hydraulic pressure for the steering gear is supplied by a belt driven pump mounted near the front of the engine. Failure of the driving belt or stalling of the engine results in loss of pressure and power assistance and much greater physical effort is required to steer the vehicle . Power steering requires 3.3 turns of the steering wheel to move the front wheels from lock to lock. The driving belt is adjusted by loosening the adjusting bolt and nut and the pivot bolt and nut, then pulling the pump unit outwards until a belt deflection of between 6.35 mm - 9.5 mm ( 114 in - ¥a in) can be made midway between the harmonic balancer and the pump drive pulley. Tighten adjusting bolt and nut and the pivot bolt and nut. Recheck belt deflection .

Safety rim wheels The safety rim type wheel fitted to the P76 conforms to the Australian Design Rule, which provides a safety feature giving added protection in case of tyre blowout or rapid deflation while the car is in motion. The shape of the rim is such that if sudden deflation occurs, the tyre beads are pressed outward against the wheel rim flanges , preventing the tyre becoming detached from the wheel.

Wheels and lyres Tyres are a major factor in road safety. The tyres fitted as original equipment have been selected to enable normal passenger requirements and adequate loads to be carried . Tyres are vulnerable to abuse, damage by accident or incorrect maintenance and need to be inspected regularly. Sharp objects such as broken glass or pOinted stones should be removed before full penetration is made. However, full penetration does not normally result in deflation if the object is not pulled out and , in this case, the tyre can continue in use but should be repaired as soon as possible. Penetration by objects of small diameter can be repaired as a temporary measure with the tyre manufacturer's plugging kit. Modern vehicles are sensitive to road wheel balance and for this reason wheels and tyres are balanced at the factory. Normal wear and tear and road conditions will cause an out-of-balance condition to develop. This must be corrected in the interests of safety, road handling , and the life of steering and suspension components, as well as tyres.

wheels and tyres

Road conditions and minor impacts will also influence wheel alignment adversely. Adjustments are necessary to correct these conditions and ensure safety and long tyre life. The rate of tyre wear depends on many factors such as driving speeds, cornering, vehicle loading , road conditions etc . In addition , tyres wear at different rates depending on their position on the vehicle . Based on the observed condition of the tyres, a rotation of the road wheels may be recommended . The spare wheel may be included in this rotation to ensure that tyre wear is shared by all five tyres. The Dealer will advise on the need for wheel balancing , rotation, or alignment check as a result of his observations during routine servicing .

~'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tyre pressures The recommended pressures cover all average load conditions. Pressure checks should be carried out before the vehicle is driven and the tyres become warm. Do not deflate to correct the pressure during a long run. Inflation pressures should be checked once a week or prior to a long journey. Do not neglect the spare. Any unusual pressure loss should be investigated. Remember, the appearance of radial ply tyres is deceptive, always use a pressure gauge when examining for correct inflation. Valve caps should be replaced using finger pressure only. The caps ensure a second seal should the valve core become loose or fail. They also exclude dirt and moisture .

Radial-ply tyres (fitted as standard equipment on Executive models and optional on other models) should only be fitted in sets of four, although in certain circumstances it is permissible to fit a pair on the rear wheels; tyres of different make or construction must not be used on the same axle. A pair of radial-ply tyres should never be fitted to the front wheels with Cross Ply tyres at the rear. Consult your Distributor or Dealer before changing to radial-ply tyres. The positional changing of wheels must not be undertaken if radial-ply tyres have been fitted to the rear wheels only. Before attempting to raise the vehicle with the jack provided always apply the hand brake and place chocks

against the opposite side wheel to the one being lifted . Ensure that the base of the jack is on firm ground. Jacking positions Two jacking positions are provided on each side of the vehicle. These consist of plates attached to the underside of the sill panel , each plate having a locating hole to receive the top of the jack. Jack maintenance Neglect of the jack may lead to difficulty in a roadside emergency. Examine it occasionally, clean off any accumulation of dirt and dust, and lightly grease the thread to prevent corrosion .

Interior It is advisable to clean the interior of the car before washing the outside. All loose dust and dirt can be removed with a vacuum cleaner or a small hand broom and dust pan . The seat covering materials, although extremely comfortable and durable will still require a certain amount of attention. Ordinary soiling is easily removed with warm soapy water applied on a damp cloth . Bad soiling can be removed with a medium stiff nylon brush . Whenever soaps or detergents are used it is important that the upholstery be rinsed clean and wiped dry. Residue of soaps and detergents will have an unsightly appearance, and if left on for long periods can cause deterioration of the upholstery. Woodgrain inserts Woodgrained finish should be wiped over with a dry cloth during general cleaning of the vehicle . If further cleaning is necessary lukewarm water and soap may be used. Dry the area thoroughly with a soft dry cloth. Exterior The protective coatings on the body are designed to ensure long corrosion free life of the bodywork. However, regular maintenance is important to guard against the effects of air pollution , rain and mud. Wash the paintwork frequently, using a soft sponge and plenty of water and once the car is clean it should be dried with a damp chamois leather. In addition to regular maintenance, special attention is required if the car is driven in extreme conditions such as sea spray, over unsealed roads, through snow, mud or other mineral areas. In these conditions an additional washing

cleaning

operation is necessary which should include under body hosing. It should be noted that drain holes are provided in the bottom edges of the doors and should be kept open and free from build-up of dust and foreign matter. There are six water drain holes at the base of the air plenum chamber and two additional holes are located on the platform on either side. It is essential that these holes be kept free of all debris such as leaves, cleaning cloth etc. Regular inspection and cleaning of these holes is strongly recommended . Drain holes are also provided in the A post ventilation area to prevent water accumulating there. It is essential that these holes are also kept clear. A further drain is provided in the panel below the radiator to allow the escape of any water that may enter the panel cavity . Any spots of grease or tar on the bodywork can be removed by using kerosene. It is advantageous to polish the car occasionally to remove foreign matter, which over a period of time, builds up on the paint and tends to dull its original lustre. Silicone or wax based polishes must be kept off the windscreen as they are difficult to remove and have a detrimental effect on the wiper blades. If this polish is aCCidentally applied to the windscreen , it can be removed by the use of a mild domestic abrasive.

Bright trim An occasional rub with a clean soft cloth will remove dust from the chromium plated parts, alternatively the bright trim can be cleaned very successfully with warm soapy water. If a light polish is

cleaning

necessary use a quality chrome polish but not ordinary metal polish as this contains abrasives which will affect the surface of the plating .

Upholstery Listed below are a few hints to help you to remove common and frequently encountered stains from your upholstery. Lipstick, shoe polish and grease Remove as much of the stain as possible with a dry rag . Try to avoid spreading the stain , gently wipe the stain with a cloth moistened with methylated spirits. Wash over with warm soapy water. Battery acid Battery acid may destroy the surface of your fabric or permanently stain it. Household ammonia applied immediately will neutralize the acid and prevent any further deterioration of the surface. Chocolate Remove excess chocolate with a spoon , and wipe over with a cloth moistened with methylated spirits then wash with warm soapy water. Liquor and fruit stains Apply very hot water to the stain or mark, dry thoroughly then wipe over with a clean cloth moistened with methylated spirits . Do not use warm soapy water as this will possibly set the stain .

Cleaning seat belts Cleaning of the seat belts can be carried out by using a mild non-abrasive soap and lukewarm water. After washing be sure to thoroughly sponge the washing solution out of the belts.

CAUTION Never use a volatile type of cleaning fluid on the seat belts.
