Safety belt extension assembly

The safety belt may be too short
even when fully extended.
Approximately 20 cm (8 inches)
may be added to the length of the
belt with a safety belt extension
(part number 611C22). Safety belt
extensions are available at no cost
from your dealer.
Only use extensions manufactured
by the same supplier as the safety
belt. Manufacturer identification is
located on the label at the end of
the webbing.
Do not use the extension to change
the fit of the shoulder belt across
the torso.

Safety belt maintenance

Inspect the safety belt systems
periodically to make sure they work
properly and are not damaged.
Inspect the safety belts to make
sure there are no nicks, wears or
cuts and replace if necessary. All
safety belt assemblies, including
retractors, buckles, front safety
belt buckle assemblies slide bar,
shoulder belt height adjusters, and
attaching hardware, should be
inspected after a collision.
