Seat Belt Extender; Safety System Check - Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD 2022 Manual

32 Seats and Restraints
The vehicle may have a center seating
position with a lap seat belt. The lap seat
belt does not have a retractor.
To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate
and pull it along the belt.
Buckle, position, and release it the same
way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt.
To make the belt shorter, pull its free end as
shown until the belt is snug.
If the belt is not long enough, see Seat Belt
Extender 0 32.
Make sure the release button on the buckle
is positioned so you would be able to
unbuckle the seat belt quickly if necessary.

Seat Belt Extender

If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten around
you, you should use it.
But if a seat belt is not long enough, your
dealer will order you an extender. Only a
GM dealer issued extender should be used.
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
restraints. For more information on the
proper use and fit of seat belt extenders see
the instruction sheet that comes with the
extender.

Safety System Check

Periodically check the seat belt reminder,
seat belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped),
and seat belt anchorages to make sure they
are all in working order. Look for any other
loose or damaged seat belt system parts
that might keep a seat belt system from
performing properly. See your dealer to
have it repaired. Torn, frayed, or twisted
seat belts may not protect you in a crash.
Torn or frayed seat belts can rip apart under
impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed,
have it replaced immediately. If a belt is
twisted, it may be possible to untwist by
reversing the latch plate on the webbing.
If the twist cannot be corrected, ask your
dealer to fix it.
Make sure the seat belt reminder light is
working. See Seat Belt Reminders 0 78.
