Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are
safer if they are restrained
in the rear
rather than the front seat. We at General
Motors therefore recommend that you
put your child restraint in
the rear seat
unless the child
is an infant and you’re
the only adult
in the vehicle. In that
case, you might want to secure the
restraint
in the front seat where you can
keep an eye on the baby.
Wherever you install it, be sure to
secure the child restraint properly.
II
An unsecured child restraint
W can move around in a
ollision
or sudden stop and injure
people
in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint
in
your vehicle - even when no
child is in it.
Top Strap
If your child restraint has a top strap, it
should be anchored.
The only place
in your vehicle where
you can use a child restraint
with a top
strap is
in the front passenger seat.

CAUTION
rn Dl A ThL,, is no place to anchor a
- child restraint with a top strap
behind the rear seats of your
vehicle. In a crash, the child
restraint with a top strap would not
be properly secured
in a rear seat,
so the child’s injuries could be
increased. Don’t try to anchor a
child restraint with a top strap in a
rear seat.
Attaching the Top Strap - Right
Front Passenger Position Only
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top strap, follow these instructions for
securing it. Once a child restraint with a
top strap has been secured in the right
front seat (see “Securing a Child
Restraint in the Right Front Seat” in the
Index), hook the
top strap to the latch
plate on the right rear seat lap-shoulder
belt.
Then, remove as much slack as possible
from the top strap. Pull the
rear sear lap-shoulder belt all
the way out to switch it to the ratcheting
mode. Allow the lap-shoulder belt to
feed back into the retractor. Listen for
clicking to be sure the safety belt
remains in the ratcheting mode.
If slack remains
in the top strap, move
the right front seat forward just enough
to eliminate the slack.
When
a child restraint with a top strap is
being used, no one can sit in the right
rear position.

Children who aren’t buckled up can
strike other people
who are.
I CAUTION
Never do this.
h Here two children are wearing I
me same belt. The belt can’t
properly spread the impact forces.
In a crash, the two children can be
crushed together and seriously
injured.
A belt must be used by
only one person at a time.
Q: What if a child is wearing a
lap-shoulder belt, but the child is
so small that the shoulder belt is
very close to the child’s face or
neck?
I A: Move the child toward the center of
the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still
is on the child’s
shoulder,
so that in a crash the
child’s upper body would have
the
restraint that belts provide.

rn Replacing Safety Belts
afler a Crash
If you've had a crash, do you need new
belts?
... 40
After a very minor collision, nothing
may be necessary. But if
the belts were
stretched, as they would be
if worn
during a more severe crash, then you
need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace
them. Collision damage also may mean
you will have to have safety belt parts
like the retractor replaced or anchorage
locations repaired
- even if the belt
wasn't being used at the time
of the
collision.
Q: What's wrong with this?
A: The belt is torn.
Torn or frayed belts may not
1 b protect you in a crash. They
can rip apart under impact forces.
If a belt is torn or frayed, get a
new one right away.
.. .
Before replacing any safety belt, see
your dealer for the correct part number.
You'll need the model year and the
model
number of your vehicle. The
model year is on your title and
registration.
And you can find the model
number on the certification/tire label
of
your vehicle.
The model number on the replacement
belt must be listed on the safety belt you
want to replace.

rmw-rirmuflh Ventilation System
Your Geo's flow-through ventilation
system supplies outside air into the
vehicle when it is moving. Outside air
will
also enter the car when the heater
or the air conditioning fan is running.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better,
reducing the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
When you enter a car in cold weather,
move the fan lever toward
# for a
few moments before driving off. This
helps clear the intake ducts of snow
and moisture, and reduces 'the chance
of fogging the inside of your
windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your car.
H Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been
designed to operate easily and give years
of listening pleasure. But you will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you
acquaint yourself with it first. Find out
what your Delco@ audio system can do
and how to operate all its controls, to be
sure you're getting the most out of the
advanced engineering that went into it.
