Oldsmobile 2004 Silhouette - Manual (Page 51)

Safety Belt Pretensioners
Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners. You’ll find
them on the buckle end of the safety belts for the driver
and right front passenger. They help the safety belts
reduce a person’s forward movement in a moderate to
severe crash in which the front of the vehicle hits
something.
Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in a
crash, you’ll need to get new ones, and probably other
new parts for your safety belt system. See
Replacing
Restraint System Parts After a Crash on page 1-79.
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.
