Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I Child Restraints
Be sure to follow the instructions for
the restraint.
You may find these
instructions on the restraint itself or in
a booklet, or both. These restraints use
the belt system in your vehicle, but the
child also has to be secured within the
restraint
to help reduce the chance of
personal injury. The instructions that
come with the infant or child restraint
will show you how to do that. 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.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a collision
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.
If you need to have an anchor installed,
you can ask your Chevrolet dealer to
put it in for you.
If you want to install
an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell
you how to do it.
For cars first sold in Canada, child
restraints with a top strap must be
anchored according to Canadian Law.
Your dealer can obtain the hardware kit
and install it for you, or you may install
it yourself using the instructions
provided in the kit.
Use the tether hardware
kit available from
the dealer. The hardware and installation
instructions were specifically designed
for this vehicle.
