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 a seat that has a lap
belt, if your vehicle has
one.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
Never do this.
Here a child is sitting in
a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but
the shoulder part
is behind the child. If the child wears the belt
in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The
belt’s force would then be applied right
on the child’s abdomen.
That could cause serious or fatal injuries.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and
snug on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force
to
the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.
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
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.

Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for any other
loose or damaged restraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep
a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired.
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.
Replacing Seat and 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 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.
Before replacing any safety belt, see your dealer for
the correct 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 CertificatiodTire label of your vehicle. See “Certification/Tire Label” in
the Index.
The model number
on the replacement belt must be listed on the safety belt
you want to replace. Pull the shoulder belt all
the way out to see this label.
