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
retailer 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.)
