1973 CHEVROLET CAMARO seat adjustment

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine hole on the lap belt latch plate.
(The latch is designed so that
this attachment
can only be com­
pleted before fastening the lap
belt.) Tilt the knob
as neces­
sary, to pass it through the slot.
Pull the knob firmly upward to
seat it at the narrow end of the
keyhole, then fasten the lap
belt.
• Shoulder belts are lengthened
and shortened
in the same man­
ner
as center seat lap belts.
• Shoulder belt should have suffi­
cient slack to insert a fist's
width between your chest and
the belt. This can be checked
by inserting a clenched
fist be­
tween the belt and your chest
with thumb against chest and
back of hand facing upward.
• When not in use, the shoulder
belt may be stowed by leaving
it attached to the lap belt and
allowing the lap belt to rewind into
its retractor. Take up re­
maining slack using the shoul­
der belt adjustment feature.
• To completely restow the shoul­
der belt, .remove the belt knob
from the keyhole (tilting knob
as necessary). Then restow belt
along roof rail in accord with
illustration. .
When not in use, all loose lap
and shoulder belts should be se­
cured to reduce the danger of
the
metal ends striking an occupant in
an accident. When special stowage
provisions are not provided, the
8 loose
ends should be attached to
each other and adjustment
made
to remove the slack in the belt sys­
tem. Be sure that belts are not left
in a position where the webbing
or
hardware can be pinched in the
seat structure
or door, and thus
become damaged.
Seat Belt Inspection
• Periodically inspect belts, buc­
kles, retractors, and anchors for
damage that could lessen the ef­
fectiveness
of the restraint sys­
tem.
