Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some models and adjustable
on others. Slide
an adjustable head restraint up or down
so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of
your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck
injury in a crash.
On some models, the head restraints tilt forward and
rearward also.
Front Seatback Latches (2 Door Models)
The front seatback folds
forward
to let people get
into the back seat.
Your
seatback will move back
and forth freely, unless you
come to a sudden stop. Then
it will lock into place.
There’s one time the front seats may not fold without ‘
some help from you. That’s if your vehicle is parked
going down a fairly steep hill.
To fold a front seatback forward, push the seatbgck
toward the rear seat as you lift this latch. Then the
seatback will fold forward. The latch must be dswn for
the seat to work properly.

And you don’t have to unbuckle when you get out.
Just get into your vehicle. Then close and lock the door.
Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats’’ in the Index)
so
you can sit up straight.
The lap belt should be worn as low on the hips as
possible. In a crash, this applies force to the strong
pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely
to slide under the
lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt would apply force
at your abdomen. This could cause serious
or even fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should
go over the shoulder
and across the chest. These parts of the body are best
able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.

It’s possible that an automatic belt could keep you from
fully opening a door. That can happen
if the door was
slammed shut very hard. Just close the door all the way,
then slowly open it.
If that doesn’t fix it, then your
Pontiac needs service.
We hope you’ll always keep your automatic belt
buckled. However, you may need to unbuckle it in an
emergency.
To unbuckle the automatic belt, just push the
button
on the buckle.
To reattach the automatic belt:
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.
