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
anything 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.
Also
look
for any opened or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (,The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
