Safety Belt Extender

If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you,
you should use it.

But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer will
order you an extender. It is free. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so
the extender will be long enough for you. To help avoid
personal injury, do not let someone else use it, and
use it only for the seat it is made to fit. The extender has
been designed for adults. Never use it for securing
child seats. To wear it, just attach it to the regular safety
belt. For more information see the instruction sheet
that comes with the extender.

Always disconnect the extender from the safety belt
after you use it so that the airbag will work properly the
next time someone uses that seat.

When you use a safety belt extender in the right front
passenger’s seat, make sure the passenger airbag
status indicator shows “ON”. See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator
on page 3-30. If the indicator shows
“OFF”, disconnect the extender’s latch from the buckle
then reconnect the safety belt. Make sure the indicator
light shows “ON, then reconnect the safety belt
extender. If you use the safety belt extender while
the indicator light shows “OFF”, the right front
passenger’s frontal and seat-mounted side impact
airbags (if equipped) may not activate correctly.
See Airbag System on page 1-46 for important safety
information about your airbags.
