Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so
small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still is on the child’s shoulder,
so that in a crash the
child’s upper body would have the restraint that belts provide.
If the
child is
so small that the shoulder belt is still very close to the child’s
face or neck, you might want to place the child in the center seat
position, the one that has only a lap belt.

and
snug on the hips, just touching the child's thighs. This applies belt

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.
CHECKIING YOUR RESTWNT 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.
REPUCING SAFETYBELTSAFTER 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 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 of the collision.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Q: What's wrong with this?
A: The belt is torn.
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.
