from P (Park) will be prevented

Drive may also prevent
shifting out of P (Park) if a
front passenger seat belt is
unbuckled. A message displays
in the DIC. Buckle the front
passenger seat belt to clear
the message and shift out of
P (Park). This feature may not
allow the vehicle to shift out of

briefcase, handbag, grocery
bag, laptop, or other electronic
device, is on the front
passenger seat. If this
happens, remove the object
from the seat or buckle the
seat belt to shift out of
P (Park).
If the driver, or on some
vehicles, the present front
passenger remains unbuckled,

readiness light is on. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0112.
How to Wear Seat
Belts Properly
Follow these rules for
everyone's protection.
There are additional things to
know about seat belts and
children, including smaller
children and infants. If a child
will be riding in the vehicle, see
Older Children 073 or
Infants and Young Children
0 75. Review and follow the
rules for children in addition to
the following rules. It is very important for all
occupants to buckle up.
Statistics show that unbelted
people are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are
wearing seat belts.
There are important things to
know about wearing a seat
belt properly.
.Sit up straight and always
keep your feet on the floor in
front of you (if possible).
.Wear the lap part of the belt
low and snug on the hips,
just touching the thighs. In a
crash, this applies force to
the strong pelvic bones and

2. Pick up the latch plate andpull the belt across you. Do
not let it get twisted.
The lap-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.
If the shoulder portion of a
passenger belt is pulled out
all the way, the child
restraint locking feature
may be engaged. See Child
Restraint Systems 077.
If this occurs, let the belt go back all the way and start
again. If the locking feature
stays engaged after letting
the belt go back to stowed
position on the seat, move
the seat rearward or recline
the seat until the shoulder
belt retractor lock releases.
If the webbing locks in the
latch plate before it reaches
the buckle, tilt the latch
plate flat to unlock.
3. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to
make sure it is secure. If the
belt is not long enough, see
Seat Belt Extender 058.
Position the release button
on the buckle so that the
seat belt could be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.

to the height that is right
for you. See “Shoulder Belt
Height Adjuster” later in this

The best way to protect the
fetus is to protect the mother.
When a seat belt is worn
properly, it is more likely that
the fetus will not be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant women, as
for anyone, the key to making
seat belts effective is wearing
them properly.
Seat Belt Extender
If the vehicle's seat belt will
fasten around you, you should
use it.
But if a seat belt is not long
enough, your dealer will order
you an extender. Only a GM
dealer issued extender should
be used. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat
you will wear, so the extender
will be long enough for you. To
help avoid personal injury, do
not let someone else use it,
and use it only for the seat it is
made to fit. The extender has
been designed for adults.
Never use it for securing child
restraints. For more
information on the proper useand fit of seat belt extenders
see the instruction sheet that
comes with the extender.
Safety System Check
Periodically check the seat
belt reminder, seat belts,
buckles, latch plates,
retractors, shoulder belt
height adjusters (if equipped),
and seat belt anchorages to
make sure they are all in
working order. Look for any
other loose or damaged seat
belt system parts that might
keep a seat belt system from
performing properly. See your
dealer to have it repaired.
Torn, frayed, or twisted seat
belts may not protect you in a
crash. Torn or frayed seat
belts can rip apart under
impact forces. If a belt is torn
or frayed, have it replaced
immediately. If a belt is
twisted, it may be possible to
untwist by reversing the latch
plate on the webbing. If the
twist cannot be corrected, ask
your dealer to fix it.
Make sure the seat belt
reminder light is working. See
Seat Belt Reminders
0112.
Keep seat belts clean and dry.
See Seat Belt Care 058.Seat Belt Care
Keep belts clean and dry.
Seat belts should be properly
cared for and maintained.
Seat belt hardware should be
kept dry and free of dust or
debris. As necessary, exterior
hard surfaces and seat belt
webbing may be lightly
cleaned with mild soap and
water. Ensure there is not
excessive dust or debris in the
mechanism. If dust or debris
exists in the system please
see the dealer. Parts may
need to be replaced to ensure
proper functionality of the
system.
