Reclining Front Seatbacks (CONT.)
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against your body.
Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving neck
or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t
do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.

Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so
that the top of the restraint is closest to
the top
of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a
neck injury in a crash.

Automatic LapShoulder Belt (CONTI)
Thelap belt should be worn as low on
the hips as possible.
In a crash, this
applies force
to the strong pelvic bones.
And you'd be less likely to slide under
the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen.
This could cause serious or even fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should
go
over the shoulder and across the chest.
These
parts of the body are best able to
take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there's a sudden
stop or a crash.

It's possible that .an automatic belt
could
keep youfrom'€ully opening a
door. That
cm happen if the door was
slammed shut very hard. Just close
the
door all the way, then slowly open it. If
that doesn't fix it, then your Chevrolet
needs service.
We hope
you will always keep your
automatic belt buckled. However, you
may need to unbuckle it
in an
emergency.
And you would need to unbuckle it to
let someone
get into the center front
seat position,
if your vehicle has one.
To Unbuckle the Automatic Belt:
Just push the button on the buckle. -
