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 Chevrolet, 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 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.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

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.
Never put a rear-facing
child restraint
in the front passenger seat. Here’s why:
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.

Position
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
2. Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions
say.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through
or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show
you how. Tilt the latch plate to adjust the
belt if needed.
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.

to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let it
go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.
Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about
the top strap if the child restraint has one.
You’ll need a safety locking clip to properly secure a
child restraint in this position. You can get a locking clip
where child restraints are sold, or from
you Chevrolet
dealer
(GM Part No. 94844571). The locking clip must
be the same as the one shown here. Until
you have this clip, secure
a child restraint only in
the rear seat. See the earlier
part about securing a child
restraint in
the rear seat. Once you have the clip, follow
these instructions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat
as far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats” in the Index.)
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions
of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show
you how.
If
the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
