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, 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
the safety belt reminder light
and all
your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and
anchorages are working properly.
Look
for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If
you
see
anythmg that might keep
a
safety belt system from
doing its job, have it repaired.
Torn or frayed safety 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.
N~SO
look for any opened or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
