1993 CHEVROLET S10 Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 o\
rder 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 b\
e 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 all your belts, buckles, latch plates,\
retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for \
any loose
parts or damage.
If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from
doing its job, have it repaired.
Replacing Safety Belts After a Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if\
the belts were
stretched, as they would be if worn during
a more severe crash, then you
need new belts.
If you ever see a label on a right front safety belt that says \
to replace the
belt, be sure to
do so. Then it will be there to help protect you in an
accident. You would see this label on the belt near the door opening.

Seats & Safety Belts
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may mean
you will have to have safety belt parts, like the retractor, replaced o\
r
anchorage locations repaired-even
if the belt wasn't being used at the time
of the collision.
Q: What's wrong with this?
AP125004
I CAUTION
Torn or frayed 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.
Before replacing any safety belt, see your dealer for the corr\
ect part number.
You'll need the model year and model number for your vehicle. \
The model
year is on your title and registration. And you can find the model number on
the certificationltire label of your vehicle.

The door keys are for the doors and all other locks.

When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the plugs \
from the keys, and gives them to the first owner.
Each plug has a code on
it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith how
to make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you’ll be able
lo have new, ones made easily using these plugs.
