On  convertible  models, the safety belt also  locks if  you 
pull the  belt  very  quickly  out of the  retractor. 
What’s wrong with  this? 
A: The  shoulder belt is  too loose. It won’t  give  nearly 
as much  protection this way.

1. Pick  up  the  latch  plate and pull the belt across  you. 
Don’t  let  it get  twisted. 
On  convertible  models,  the  shoulder belt  may  lock  if 
you  pull  the belt across 
you very  quickly.  If this 
happens,  let the  belt  go back  slightly  to unlock  it. 
Then pull the belt  across  you  more slowly. 
2. Push  the  latch  plate  into the  buckle  until  it  clicks.  If 
the  belt  stops before  it  reaches the  buckle,  tilt the 
latch  plate  and  keep pulling  until  you  can buckle it. 
Pull 
up on  the  latch  plate to make  sure it  is  secure. 
If  the  belt  is  not  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.

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.  If 
you have 
a convertible,  don’t use a restraint that has a 
top strap in your  vehicle  because  the top strap anchor 
cannot  be  installed  properly. 
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.
