7. If your child restraint manufacturer
recommends using a top tether and your
vehicle is a Z06 model, attach and tighten the
top tether to the top tether anchor. Refer to
the instructions that came with the child
restraint and to Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH) (Z06 Models Only)
on page 42 or Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH) (Coupe and Convertible
Models Only) on page 45.
8. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
9. If the airbag is off, the off indicator in the
inside rearview mirror will be lit and stay lit
when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed and the on
indicator is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove
the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
child restraint.
If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to
make sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not
pressing the child restraint into the seat cushion. If
this happens, slightly recline the vehicle’s
seatback and adjust the seat cushion if possible.
If the on indicator is still lit, do not secure a child
restraint in this vehicle and check with your dealer.
To remove the child restraint, if the top tether is
attached to the top tether anchor, disconnect
it. 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.
Airbag System
Your vehicle has a frontal airbag for the driver and
a frontal airbag for the passenger. Your vehicle
may also have a side impact airbag for the driver,
and a side impact airbag for the right front
passenger.
If your vehicle has a side impact airbag for the
driver and right front passenger, the word AIRBAG
will appear on the airbag covering on the side of
the seatback closest to the door.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection
provided by safety belts. Even though today’s
airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk
of injury from the force of an inflating bag, all
airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job.
