Reminder
• The front seat belts are linked to
a buzzer and light which remind
occupants to fasten their belts.
• The buzzer and light are de­
signed to come on when any
outboard front seat occupant's
belt
is not fastened, while at­
tempting to start the engine; or
if any front seat belt
is un­
fastened while driving in any
forward gear.
• The reminders do not come on
when the engine
is running and
a front belt
is unbuckled if the
transmission
is in Park or neu­
tral (automatic and column­
shift transmission cars), or if the
parking brake
is engaged (floor
shift transmission cars).
If seat belt system , ignition in­
terlock system, or reminder system
does not work
as described , see
your dealer for information and assistance.
Lap Belts (For
Rear Seat
Passengers)
• Seating positions next to side
windows have retractors which
are designed to automatically
take up excess webbing and
maintain tension on the lap belt.
These belts should be positioned
and secured
as described above
under
"Lap-Shoulder Belt Com­
bination.
"
Seat Belt Inspection
• Periodically inspect belts,
buckles, adjustable latch plates,
retractors, interlock and re­
minder systems, guide loops,
clips, and anchors for damage
that could lessen the effective­
ness of the restraint system.
• Keep sharp edges and damaging
objects away from belts, and
other parts of restraint system.
• Replace belts if cut, weakened,
9
frayed, or subjected to collision
loads.
• Check that anchor mounting
bolts are tight.
• Have questionable parts re­
placed.
• Keep seat belts clean and dry.
• Clean only with mild soap solu­
tion and lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since
this may severely weaken belts.
Child Restraint
Children in automobiles should
be restrained to lessen the risk of
injury in accidents, sudden stops
or other hazardous situations. Gen­
eral Motors dealers offer restraint
systems designed specifically for
use with infants and with small
children. The GM
"Infant Love
Seat" is designed for babies up to
20 pounds. The GM "Child Love
Seat" is designed for children
weighing 20 to 40 pounds, up to 3

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine feet-4 inches in height, who are
able to sit up alone.
In using any infant or child re­
straint system, read and comply
with all installation and usage in­
structions. All unused seat belts
near the child should be stowed
properly to help prevent them from
striking him
or her in the event of
.an accident.
If a child is traveling in a vehicle
not equipped with a General
Motors infant or child restraint or
other safe infant or child restraint
system, the following precautions
should be taken:
1 . Infants unable to sit up by them­
selves should be restrained by
placing them in a covered.
padded bassinet which is placed
crossways in the vehicle (width-
10
wise) on the rear seat. The
bassinet should be securely re­
strained with the regular vehicle
seat belts. An alternate method
is to position the bassinet so that
it rests against the back of the
front seat, again crossways in
the vehicle .
2. Children able to sit up by them­
selves should be placed on a seat
and restrained with a seat belt.
When children ride in the front
seat , both lap and shoulder belt
should be worn.
If the shoulder
belt causes neck
or face irrita­
tion due to the child's size, this
may be reduced in some cases
by positioning the child further
inboard.
If serious discomfort
continues, the child should be
lap belted in the rear seat. Never
allow a child to stand or kneel
on any seat.
