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 for you, andjust 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 Replacing SafetyL J s After a Now and then, make sure all your belts, Crash 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. If you've had a crash, do you need new belts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But ifthe belts were stretched, as they would be ifworn during a more severecrash, then you need new belts. If you ever see a label on a right front safety belt that says to replace belt, the be sure to do so. Then it will be there to help protect you in an accident. You would see this label on the belt near the door opening. If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may mean you will have to have safety belt parts, 37
