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

to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear,

the

extender will be long enough for you. The extender will

be just for you, and just for the seat

your vehicle that

you choose. Don’t let someone else use

it,

and use it

only for the seat it

made to

fit.

To wear it.

Replacing

Restraint System Parts

After a Crash

If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts?

After a very minor collision, nothing

may

be h&Wsary.

But

if the belts were stretched, as

they

would be if worn

during a more severe crash, then you need new belts.

If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision

damage also may mean you will need to have safety belt

or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs

may be necessary even if the belt wasn’t being used at

the time

the collision.

If an air bag inflates, you’ll need to replace air bag

system parts. See the part on

the

air bag system earlier in

this section.

Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you

crash. They can rip apart under impact forces.

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.)
