Small Adults
(&Door Models)
Four-door models have rear shoulder belt comfort guides. This feature will
provide added comfort for children who have outgrown child restraints and
for small adults. The comfort guides pull the shoulder belts away from the
neck and head.
There is one guide for each outside passenger position in the rear seat. You
will find them tucked
in between the seatback and the interior body, about
half-way down the edge of the seatback. Here
is how you should install the
comfort guides
on the shoulder belts:
1. Pull the elastic cord out from between the edge of the seatback and the
interior body to remove the guide from its storage clip.

the belt. Then, place the guide over the belt, and insert the two edges of
the belt into the slots
of the guide.
3. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must
be under the belt and
the guide on top.
4. Buckle the belt around the child, and make sure that both the lap belt
and the shoulder belt are secured properly. Make sure that the\
shoulder
belt crosses the shoulder. See “Safety Belts, Rear Seat Passengers” in
the Index.
To remove and store the comfort guides, just perform these steps in reverse
order. Squeeze the belt edges together
so that you can take them out from
the guides. Pull the guide upward to expose its storage clip, and then slide
the guide onto the clip. Rotate the guide and clip inward and in between the
seatback and the interior body, leaving only the loop
of elastic cord exposed.

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 a rear seat outside posi\
tion unless the
child is an infant and you’re the only adult
in the vehicle. In that case, you
might want to secure the restraint in the right front seat wh\
ere you can keep
an eye on the baby.
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.
Top Strap
If your child restraint
has a top strap, it
should be anchored.

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.
Center Seat Positions (&Door Models)
Don’t use child restraint in these positions. The restraints won’t work
properly.

You'll be using the lapshoulder belt. See the earlier part about the top strap
if the child restraint has one.

3.
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.
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.

6. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor while
you push down on the child restraint.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is
secure. If you're using a bucket seat, adjust the seat forward until the
lap portion
of the safety belt holds the restraint firmly. But don't move
it any more than needed to tighten the lap belt.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Q: What if a child is wearing a lapshoulder belt, but the 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 sitting in a rear outside position of a four-door model, see
“Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides” in the Index. 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 a seat that has a lap belt, if your
vehicle has one.
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.
