Safety Belt 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 foryou, andjust for the in your vehicle that seat you choose. Don't let someone else use it, and use it only for theseat it is made to fit. To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety belt. Replacing Seat and Restraint System Parts After a Crash If you've had a crash, do you need newbelts? 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 newbelts. 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. Checking Your Restraint Systems Now and then,make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged restraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired. Torn or frayed 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. 1-41

Safety
Belt
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
foryou,
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 Restraint
Systems
Now
and
then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working
properly.
Look
for
any
other loose or damaged
restraint system parts.
If
you see anything that might
keep a restraint system from doing its job, have
it
repaired.
Torn or frayed 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.
Replacing
Seat
and
Restraint
System
Parts
After
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.
