Important:

DO NOT use belt extenders when securing a child restraint.

The seat and shoulder belt restraint systems used in all General Motors vehicles have sufficient belt length to accommodate most drivers and

passengers. Consequently, requests for belt extensions (extenders) should be minimal.

Seat belt extenders are available ONLY IN BLACK for most GM passenger cars and trucks produced in recent years. They are available in two

different lengths, 23 cm (9 in) and 38 cm (15 in). They are designed to be coupled with the existing belts in each vehicle. When in use, the extender

makes the belt arrangement a "custom fit" and use by anyone else or in another vehicle will lessen or nullify the protection offered by the vehicle's

restraint system. For this reason, it is extremely important that the correct length extender be used for the vehicle and occupant intended.

Important:

Do not use an extender just to make it easier to buckle the safety belt. Use an extender only when you cannot buckle the safety belt without using an

extender.

Parts Information

For part numbers, usage and availability of extenders, see Extension Kit in Group 14.875 (cars) or Group 16.714 (trucks) of the appropriate parts

catalog. Saturn retailers should refer to the appropriate model year Parts & Illustration catalog for the vehicle. U.S. Saab dealers should contact the

Parts Help line. Canadian Saab dealers should fax requests to Partech Canada.
