If
the vehicle‘s safety belt
will
hsten around you, you
should use
it.
But
ifa safety belt isn’t long enough to Faten, 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.
Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light
and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and
anchorages are working properly.
Look
,for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts.
If
you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system from
doing its job, have
it
repaired.
Torn or frayed safety belts may
not
protect you
in
a
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces.
If
a belt is
torn or frayed, get a new one right away.
Also
look for any opened or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
