6. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as described in Rear Seat Passengers on page 1-23. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder. To remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the belt edges together so that you can take them out of the guides. Fold down the rear seatbacks. Store the guides on their storage clips. Lift the rear seatbacks to their original seating positions. Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt is not long enough, your retailer will order you an extender. It is free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the extender will be long enough for you. To help avoid personal injury, do not let someone else use it, and use it only for the seat it is made to fit. The extender has been designed for adults. Never use it for securing child seats. To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety belt. For more information see the instruction sheet that comes with the extender. Safety Belt Pretensioners Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners. You will find them on the retractor portion of the safety belts for the driver and right front passenger. They help the safety belts reduce a person's forward movement in a moderate to severe crash in which the front of the vehicle hits something. Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in a crash, you will need to get new pretensioners and may need other new parts for your safety belt system. See Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash on page 1-60 for more information. 1-29
