I Safety Belt Edender
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.
I 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.
I Replacing Safety Belts A#er
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 the new belt will
be there to help protect you in an
accident.
You would see this label on
the belt near the door opening. 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.

Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio

and how to get the best performance
from them. Please read about the
system in your vehicle.
Hearing damage from loud noise is
almost undetectable until it is too late.
Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems
normal can be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting
the volume control on your radio to a
safe sound level before your hearing
adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
1. Adjust the volume control to the
lowest setting.
2. Increase the volume slowly until you
hear comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound
equipment to your vehicle
- like a
tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
- be
sure
you can add what you want. If
you can, it’s very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment
may interfere with the operation
of
your vehicle’s engine, Delcom radio
or other systems, and even damage
them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of
sound equipment that has been
added improperly.
So, before
adding sound equipment, check
with your dealer and be sure to
check federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone units.
