Safety
Belt Edender
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
willorder
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.
I
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
loose
parts
or
damage. If you
see anything
that might
keep
a
restraint system
from
doing its job, have
it
repaired.
I
Replacing
Safety
Belts
A#er
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
you
ever see a
label on a
right front
safety
belt
that says to replace the belt,
be sure to
do
so.
Then the new
belt
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
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.
