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 tong 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
Replacing Safety Belts 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 you ever see a label on the driver's or the right-fkont.
passenger's 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.

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.
