To make it shorter, pull the belt as shown until it is snug. Buckle and
position
it the same way as the lap part of the driver’s safety belt (see
“Driver Position” in the Index). Make sure the release button on the buckle
is positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you
ever had to. To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.
Don’t use child restraints on these seats. They won’t work properly.
Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all
children smaller than adult size. In fact, the law in every state in the United
States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be
restrained while in a vehicle.

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.
The child restraint must be secured properly
in the center (except 60/40
bench seat) or right front passenger seat. If you have a 60/40 split bench
seat, you must
use the right front passenger seat.
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.
If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your GM dealer to put
it in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell
you how to do it.

restraint instructions will show
you how.
5. 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, pull its free end 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 the child restraint isn’t secure, turn the latch plate over and
buckle it again. Then
see if it is secure. If it isn’t, secure the restraint in
a different place in the vehicle and contact the child restraint maker for
their advice about how to attach the child restraint properly.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s safety belt. It will
be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger.

Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder 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 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
Never do this.
Here a child is sitting in
a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but
the shoulder part
is behind the child. If the child wears the belt
in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The
belt’s force would then be applied right
on the child’s abdomen.
That could cause serious or fatal injuries.
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.
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.
