1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Q: What if a child is wearing a lapshoulder belt, but the child is so
small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
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. If the
child is sitting in a rear outside position of a four-door model, see
“Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides” in the Index. If the child is
so small
that the shoulder belt is still very close to the child’s face or neck, you
might want to place the child in a seat that has a lap belt, if your
vehicle has one.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and
snug on the hips,
just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to
the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.

If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it.
But
if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an
extender. It’s free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you
will wear,
so the extender will be long enough for you. The extender will be
just for you, and just for the seat in your vehicle that you choose. Don’t let
someone else use it, and use it only for the seat it is made to fit.
To wear it,
just attach it to the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are working properly.
Look for any other
loose or damaged restraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep
a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired.
Torn or frayed belts may not 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.
Replacing Seat and Restraint System Parts
After
a Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts?
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 need to have safety belt or seat parts repaired or replaced. New
parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt wasn’t being used at the
time of the collision.
Before replacing any safety belt, see your dealer for the correct part number.
You’ll need the model year and model number for your vehicle. The model
year is on your title and registration. And you can find the model nu\
mber on
the Certificatioflire label of your vehicle. See “Certificatioflire Label” in
the Index.
