SAFETYBELT EXTENDER
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer
will order you
an extender. It’s free. When you go in to order
it, take the heaviest coat
you will wear,
so the extender will be long enough for you. The extender
will be just for you, and just for the seat in your vehicle that you choose.
Don’t let someone else use it, and use
it only for the seat it is made to fit.
To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety belt.
CHECKING YOUR RESTMNT SYSTEMS
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are working properly.
Look for any
loose parts
or damage. If you see anything that might keep a restraint
system from doing its job, have it repaired.
REPLACING SMETYBELTSAFTER A
CRASH
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But
if the belts
were stretched, as
they would be if worn during a more severe crash, then
you need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may
mean you will need to have safety belt
or seat parts repaired or replaced.
New parts and repairs may be necessary even
if the belt wasn’t being used
at the time
of the collision.
