When you ride in or on anything, you go
as fast as
it goes.
For example, if the bike is going 10 mph
(1 6 kmk), so is the child.

Belts Properly
Adults
This section is only for people of adult
size.
Be aware that there are special things to
know about safety belts and children. And
there are different rules for smaller
children and babies. If a child will be
riding in your Chevrolet, see the section
after this one, called “Children.” Follow
those rules for everyone’s protection. First,
you’ll want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.

Front Seat
Your vehicle has a right-front passenger':
air bag. NEVER put a rear-facing child
restraint
in this seat. Here's why:
I
lou'il be using the lap-shoulder belt. See
the earlier section about the top strap
if
the child restraint has one.
You'll need a safety locking clip to
properly secure a child restraint
in this
position. You can get a locking clip where
child restraints are sold, or from your
Chevrolet dealer
(GM Part No.
94844571). The locking clip must be the
same
as the one shown here.

Until you have this clip, secure a child
restraint only
in the rear seat. See the
earlier section about securing a child
restraint in the rear seat. Once you have
the clip, follow these instructions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Because the vehicle has a right-front
passenger's air bag, always move the
seat as far back as
it will go before
securing a front-facing child restraint.
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow
the instructions for the child restraint.
Secure the child
in the child restraint
as the instructions say.
Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap
and shoulder portions
of the vehicle's
safety belt through or around
the
restraint. The child restraint
instructions will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes
in front of the
child's face or neck, put it behind the
child restraint.
5.
6.
Buckle the belt.
Make sure the release button
is
positioned so you would be able to
unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you
ever had to.
Then thread both lap and shoulder belt portions through the locking clip.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ~ A CAUTION:
If a
locking clip is not used or is not
installed properly, the child restraint
may move or tip over when your
vehicle turns or stops quickly.
The
child or others could be injured.
When you secure a child restraint
with
a lap-shoulder belt, always
thread both the
lap and shoulder belt
portions through a locking clip.
Push and pull the child restraint in
different directions to be sure it is
secure.
3 remove the child restraint. just
lbuckle the vehicle's safety belt and
:move the locking clip. Let the safety
:It go back all the way.
A CAUTION:
When not used wiih a child restraint
seat, a safety belt with
a child
restraint locking clip still attached

you
are not using it with a child restraint.
The safety belt will move freely again
anc
be ready to work for an adult or larger
