Seats and Restraint Systems
First, you’ll want to know which restraint
systems
your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This section describes the driver’s
restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shouldcr bclt. Here‘s
how 10 wear il properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see
“Seats”
in the Index) so you can sit up
straight.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the
belt across you. Don’t
let it get
twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
Pull up
on the latch plate to make sure
it is secure. If the belt isn’t long
enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at
the end of
this section.
Make sure the release button on the
buckle is positioned
so you would be
able
to unbuckle the safety belt
quickly
if you ever had to.

Rear Seat Passengers
It‘s very important for rear seat
passengers
to buckle up! Accident
statistics show that unbelted people in the
rear seat are hurt more often
in crashes
than those who are wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted
can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a
crash. And
they can strike others in the
vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The rear seats have lap-shoulder belts.
Here’s how
to wear one properly.
1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the
belt across you. Don’t
let it get
twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it
is secure.
When the shoulder belt
is pulled out all
the way,
it will lock. If it does, let it go
back all the way and start again.
If the belt is not long eqough, see “Safety
Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button
on the
buckle is positioned
so you would be able
to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if you
ever had to.

1 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.
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.
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.
Securing a Child Restraint in the Rear

about the top strap if
the child restraint has one.

the instructions for the child restraint.
2. Secure the child in the child restraint
as the instructions say.

If the shoulder belt goes in front of the
child's face
or neck, put it behind the
child restraint.
4. 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.
