Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front
Seat
To use a child restraint here, you will need a special
infant/child seat attaching belt and the hardware that
goes with
it. See the earlier section about the top strap if
the child restraint has one.
Your dealer can get these and install the hardware
for
you. It’s free. The special belt is GM Part Number
12340286. Your dealer can find the correct hardware in
the accessory section of the
GM Parts Catalog.
Once the special hardware is installed, please follow the
instructions
with it and these steps:

2. Push the spring on the hook near the door and
remove
the special belt.
3. Put the belt away in a safe place in your vehicle, so it
won’t fly around in a crash and injure someone.

Children who have outgrown child restraints should
wear the vehicle’s safety belts.
If you have
the choice, a child should sit next to a
window
so the child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.

What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt,
but fhe child is so small that the shoulder belt is
’very close to the child’s face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be
sure that the shoulder belt still is on the child’s shoulder,
so that in a crash the child’s upper body would have the
restraint that
belts provide. If the child is so small that
the shoulder belt
is still very close to the child’s face or
neck, you might want to place
the child in the center seat
position, the one that has only a lap belt.
See “Rear
Safety Cornfort Guides” in the Index.

Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt
should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching
the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’s
pelvic bones
in a crash.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you
should use it. The automatic lap-shoulder belt has plenty
of extra length built
in, so it will fasten around almost
all people.
But
if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your
dealer will order you an extender. It’s free. When you go
in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the
extender will
be long enough for you. The extender will
be just for you, and just for the seat
in your vehicle that
you choose. Don’t let someone else use it, and use
it
only for the seat it is made to fit. To wear it, just attach it
to the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose parts or damage.
If you see anything that might keep a restraint system
from doing its job, have
it repaired.
