2003 GMC YUKON DENALI lock

5. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle
end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder belt. The lap part of the belt should
be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. 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.

The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is Wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s safety
belt properly, see Driver Position on page
1-30,
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way
as the driver’s safety belt-except for one thing.
If you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out all the
way, you will engage the child restraint locking feature
which may turn
off the passenger’s frontal air bag. If this
happens unintentionally, just let the belt go back all
the way and start again.
Center Passenger Position
Second Row - Lap-Shoulder Belt
When you sit in the center seat position in the second
row you have a lap-shoulder belt which works the same
way as the rear outside seat positions. To learn how
to wear this belt, see “Lap-Shoulder Belt” under
Rear Seat Passengers on page
1-4 1.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
Here’s how to wear a lap-shoulder belt properly.
1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate
to make sure it is secure. When
the shoulder belt is pulled out all the way,
it will lock. If it does, let it go back all the way and
start again.
If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt
Extender on page
1-47.
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.

3. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle
end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part. The lap part
of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. 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 s -'den stop or a crash.
You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt
is too loose. In a crash, you would move
forward too much, which could increase injury.
The shoulder belt should fit against your body.

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.
5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock.

6. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into
the retractor while you push down on the child
restraint. If you are using a forward-facing child
restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child restraint as you tighten the
belt. You should not be able to pull more of the belt
out of the retractor once the lock has been set.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
8. If your vehicle has the passenger sensing system
and you’re using a rear-facing child restraint in this
seat, check to be sure the right front passenger’s
frontal air bag is off before you begin to drive.
If the
air bag has been turned off the
off indicator will
light and stay lit when the key is turned to RUN or
START.
If the on indicator is lit, the passenger’s frontal air
bag has not been turned
off. If this ever happens,
turn off the vehicle, unbuckle the safety belt
and perform the steps to install the rear-facing
restraint again. After restarting the vehicle,
if the air
bag still doesn’t turn off, install the infant restraint
in
a rear seat position of the vehicle and have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
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.

1 If something is between an occupant and an
~ air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it
~ might force the object into that person causing
severe injury or even death. The path of an
inflating air bag must be kept clear. Don’t put
anything between an occupant and
an air bag,
and don’t attach or put anything on the
steering wheel hub or
on or near any other air
bag covering. Don’t let seat covers block the
inflation path
of a side impact air bag.
If your vehicle has one, the right front passenger’s side
impact air bag
is in the side of the passenger’s
seatback closest to the door.
