Occupant Restraint Belts
Lap and shoulder belts provide
added security and comfort for you and
your passengers. Proper use
and care of these belts will assure
continuance of this security.
Lap Belts -After the front seat
has been adjusted to the satisfac­
tion of the driver, sit erect and well
back in the seat, grasp the buckle
end and the flat metal
"eye" end of
your individual belt assembly and
position the belt across the lap
as
LOW ON THE HIPS AS POS­
SIBLE. Insert the metal eye into
the open end of the buckle until an
audible snap
is heard. Make sure
the connection
is secure and, to re­
duce the risk of sliding under the
belt, adjust it to a SNUG
FIT by
pulling on the end of the belt ex­
tending from the buckle. The snug
and low positions are essential in
order that the force exerted by the
lap belt in a collision will be spread
over the strong hip bone structure
and not across the soft abdominal
area which could result in serious
5
injury. For retractor-equipped
belts, pull the retractor hl;tlf of the
belt out to a solid stop to make sure
the belt webbing
is completely un­
wound from the retractor; then con­
nect the belt and make the neces­
sary adjustments at the buckle for
proper
fit. To lengthen a lap belt,
pLace the buckle at right angles to
the belt webbing. The belt will then
slide easily through the buckle.
To
unfasten the lap belt, simply de-

center of the buckle.
Automatic-locking lap belt re­
tractors are provided for the added
convenience of the driver and out­
board front seat passenger on all
Camaro cars
as an extra cost op­
tion. The automatic-locking re­
tractors adjust and lock the lap
belts into position automatically
after fastening.
When not in use, shoulder belts
should be secured in the special storage
convenience provision, to
reduce the danger of the metal end
striking an occupant
in a sudden
stop. When storage provisions are
not provided, the loose end
mounted on the upper structure
should be .fastened to the fioor­
mounted end, and adjusted to re­
move excess · slack.
Passengers in the rear seat of a
convertible must remove any shoul­
der belts BEFORE the top
is low­
ered. Rear shoulder belts require
readjustment after the top has been
either lowered or raised.
To fasten
a lap belt equipped
with an automatic-locking retrac­
tor, pull the webbing across the lap
far enough to permit inserting the
fiat metal "eye" end into the buckle.
If the webbing is not initially pulled
out far enough to permit buckling,
release the webbing, allowing it to
6
rewind in the retractor and release
the locking mechanism,
so the web­
bing can be pulled out to the proper
length.
Once the buckle is fastened,
pull the belt firmly across the lap in
the direction of the retractor to
ob.;.
tain a snug fit. The retractor will
automatically take up the excess
webbing.
Shoulder Belts -When properly
worn with a lap belt, a shoulder
belt can provide additional protec-
