passenger frontal airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
passenger frontal airbag, no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is
turned off.
Do not secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the vehicle.
SeePassenger Sensing System
0 56 for additional information.
When securing a child restraint in
the front outboard passenger seat,
study the instructions that came with
the child restraint to make sure it is
compatible with this vehicle. Child restraints and booster seats
vary considerably in size, and some
may fit in certain seating positions
better than others.
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
the vehicle
—even when no child is
in it.
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
Some child restraints have a LATCH
system. As part of the LATCH
system, your child restraint may
have lower attachments and/or a top
tether. The LATCH system can help
hold the child restraint in place
during driving or in a crash. Some
vehicles have lower and/or top
tether anchors designed to secure a
child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether. Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors to accommodate lower
attachments. Your vehicle does
have a top tether anchor. If your
child restraint has a top tether, make
sure your child restraint is properly
installed using the top tether anchor
and the vehicle's seat belt. A child
restraint must never be attached
using only the top tether. Refer to
your child restraint instructions and
see
Securing Child Restraints 075
for instructions on securing your
child restraint using the vehicle's
seat belts.
In order to use the top tether
anchors in your vehicle, you need a
child restraint equipped with a top
tether. The child restraint
manufacturer will provide you with
instructions on how to use the child
restraint and its top tether. The
following explains how to attach a
child restraint with the top tether in
your vehicle.

Top Tether Anchor
A top tether (1, 3) secures the top of
the child restraint to the vehicle.
A top tether anchor is built into the
vehicle. The top tether
attachment (2) on the child restraint
connects to the top tether anchor in
the vehicle in order to reduce the
forward movement and rotation of
the child restraint during driving or in
an accident.
The child restraint may have a
single tether (1) or a dual tether (3).
Either will have a single
attachment (2) to secure the top
tether to the anchor.Top Tether Anchor LocationFront Seat

Securing a Child Restraint Using
Top Tether Anchor
{Warning
A child could be seriously injured
or killed in a crash if the child
restraint is not properly attached
to the vehicle using either the
LATCH anchors or the vehicle
seat belt. Follow the instructions
that came with the child restraint
and the instructions in this
manual.
{Warning
Children can be seriously injured
or strangled if a shoulder belt is
wrapped around their neck. The
shoulder belt can tighten but
cannot be loosened if it is locked.
The shoulder belt locks when it is
pulled all the way out of the
retractor. It unlocks when the
shoulder belt is allowed to go all(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
the way back into the retractor,
but it cannot do this if it is
wrapped around a child’s neck.
If the shoulder belt is locked and
tightened around a child’s neck,
the only way to loosen the belt is
to cut it.
Buckle any unused seat belts
behind the child restraint so
children cannot reach them. Pull
the shoulder belt all the way out
of the retractor to set the lock,
and tighten the belt behind the
child restraint after the child
restraint has been installed.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the right front
passenger airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
airbag. A child in a forward-facing
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front
passenger airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a forward
position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag, no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is
turned off.
Since this vehicle does not have
a rear seat that will accommodate
a rear-facing child restraint, a
rear-facing child restraint should
not be installed in your vehicle,
even if the airbag is off.
SeePassenger Sensing System
0 56 for additional information.

74 Seats and Restraints
The vehicle has a front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and a
passenger sensing system. The
passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the front
passenger frontal airbag when an
infant in a rear-facing infant seat or
a small child in a forward-facing
child restraint or booster seat is
detected. See“Securing Child
Restraints (Front Passenger Seat)”
later in this section and Passenger
Sensing System 056 for important
safety information and additional
information on installing a child
restraint in the front passenger
position.
Make sure to attach the child
restraint at the proper anchor
location.
1. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that
the top tether be attached,
attach the top tether to the top
tether anchor. Refer to the child
restraint instructions and the
following steps:
1.1. Find the top tether anchor. 1.2. Route, attach, and tighten
the top tether according
to the child restraint
instructions and the
following instructions:
If the position you are
using has an adjustable
headrest or head restraint
and you are using a
single tether, route the
tether under the headrest
or head restraint and in
between the headrest or
head restraint posts.
If the position you are
using has an adjustable
headrest or head restraint
and you are using a dual
tether, route the tether
around the headrest or
head restraint.
2. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Refer to
your child restraint
manufacturer instructions.
See “Head Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation” underHead
Restraints 037 for information on
removing a head restraint to fit a
child restraint.

Replacing LATCH System
Parts After a Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH
system in the vehicle. A damaged
LATCH system may not properly
secure the child restraint,
resulting in serious injury or even
death in a crash. To help make
sure the LATCH system is
working properly after a crash,
see your dealer to have the
system inspected and any
necessary replacements made as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a
crash, new LATCH system parts
may be needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at the
time of the crash.
Securing Child Restraints
This vehicle has airbags. In
addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
under certain conditions.
See Passenger Sensing System
0 56 and Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 090 for more information,
including important safety
information.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great if the
airbag deploys.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag inflates.
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
airbag. A child in a forward-facing
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
inflates and the passenger seat is
in a forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag, no system is fail-safe. No
one can guarantee that an airbag
will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off.
Do not secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the vehicle.
If you secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the vehicle,
always move the front passenger
seat as far back as it will go.
SeePassenger Sensing System
0 56 for additional information.

Chevrolet City Express Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
11683523) - 2018 - CRC - 7/10/17
76 Seats and Restraints
Rear-facing child restraints should
not be installed in the vehicle, even
if the airbag is off.
If a child restraint uses a top tether,
seeLower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 071 for
top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
Securing a Forward-Facing Child
Restraint
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure a forward-facing child
restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child
restraint and the following
instructions: 1. Move the seat as far back as it
will go before securing the
forward-facing child restraint.
Move the seat upward or the
seatback to an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child
restraint.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag, the off indicator on the
passenger airbag status
indicator should light and stay
lit. See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator 090.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions
of the vehicle’s seat belt
through or around the restraint.
The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
4. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button on
the buckle, away from the child
restraint system, so that the
seat belt could be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.

5. Pull the shoulder belt all theway out of the retractor to set
the lock. When the retractor
lock is set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled out of
the retractor.6. To tighten the belt, push downon the child restraint, pull the
shoulder portion of the belt to
tighten the lap portion of the
belt, and feed the shoulder belt
back into the retractor. It may
be helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child
restraint or booster seat as you
tighten the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the
retractor to make sure the
retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat
Step 5 and 6. 7. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer ’s instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) 071.
8. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child restraint
at the seat belt path and
attempt to move it side to side
and back and forth. When the
child restraint is properly
installed, there should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement.
If the airbag is off, the off indicator in
the passenger airbag status
indicator will come on and stay on
when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed
and the off indicator is not lit, see “If
the Off Indicator Is Not Lit for a
Child Restraint” underPassenger
Sensing System 056.

To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
Securing a Booster Seat
{Warning
Do not use the child restraint
locking feature when using a
booster seat with the seat belts.
Follow these steps to install a
booster seat in the front
passenger seat: 1. If you must install a booster seat in the front seat, move the
seat to the rear-most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat. Only place it in a
front-facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat
manufacturer ’s instructions.
3. The booster seat should be positioned on the vehicle seat
so that it is stable. If necessary, adjust or remove
the head restraint to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the
head restraint is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head
restraint when the booster seat
is removed. For more
information, see
Head
Restraints 037 for head
restraint adjustment, removal,
and installation information.
If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head
restraint and it is interfering
with the proper booster seat fit,
try a different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the
child’s hips. Be sure to follow
the booster seat
manufacturer ’s instructions for
adjusting the seat belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the
retractor to take up the extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the top,
middle portion of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer
’s
instructions for adjusting the
seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions, and instructions for properly
fastening a seat belt. See
Lap-Shoulder Belt 045.
7. If the booster seat is installed
in the front passenger seat,
place the ignition switch in the
ON position. The passenger
airbag status indicator may or
may not be lit, depending on
the size of the child and the
type of booster seat being
used. For more information,
see Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 090.
