D If the seat belt extender has been
connected to the driver’s seat belt
buckle but the other end of the seat
belt extender has not been bucked
into the vehicle’s existing should
restraint (as depicted in the picture
above), the SRS driver’s airbag sys-
tem will judge that the driver was
wearing the seat belt. In this case,
the driver will not be properly re-
strained and this will increase the
likelihood of death or serious injury
in the event of a collision. It may
also result in the driver’s airbag
activating as if the driver was prop-
erly restrained, which would also
increase the likelihood of death or
serious injury in the event of a col-
lision. Be sure to buckle both ends
of the seat belt extender, one end
into the driver’s seat belt buckle,
the other end into the driver’s ex-
isting seat belt system.
D Be sure to wear the seat belt with-
out the seat belt extender if you
can fasten the seat belt without the
extender.
D Do not use the seat belt extender
when installing a child restraint
system on the front or rear passen-
ger seat. If installing a child re-
straint system with the seat belt
extender connected to the seat belt,
the seat belt will not securely hold
the child restraint system, which
could cause death or serious injury
to the child or other passengers in
the event of collision.
