SAFETYBELT EXTENDER If the vehicle's safetybelt will fasten aroundyou, youshould use it. But if a safety belt isn't long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender.It's free. Whenyou go in to orderit, take theheaviest coat you will wear, so the extender will be long enough foryou. The extender will be just for you, and justfor the seat your vehicle that you choose. in Don't let someone else use it, and use it only for the seat is made tofit. it To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety belt. CHECKING YOUR R E S T M N T SYSTEMS Now and then, make sure your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, all anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look forany loose parts ordamage. If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from doingits job, have it repaired. - REPUCING SAFETYBELTSAFTER 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 severecrash, then you need new belts. If belts are cut or damaged, replace them.Collision damage also may mean you will haveto have safety belt parts, like the retractor,replaced or anchorage locations repaired -- even if the belt wasn't being used at the time of the collision.
