Adults
This part 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 vehicle, see the part of this manual 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.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it 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

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 GM dealer to put
it in for you.
If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell
you how to do it.
