I Safety Belt Extender
If the vehcle's safety belt will fasten around you, you
should'use it.
But if a .safety belt isn't long enough to fasten, your
retailer wi1.l 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 1ong.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 forthe 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 all your belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged
restraint system parts. If you see anything that might
keep a restraint system from doing its job, have it
repaired.
Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash.
They can rip apart under impact forces. I f a belt is torn
or frayed, get a new one right away.

.Replacing Seat, and Restraint System
"Parts After, 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 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.
