by
the retractor. Before opening the
door,· or pulling the belt out, hold the
latch plate to keep it from possibly
striking people
or
things nearby during
retraction.
If
needed,
move
the latch
plate along the webbing to let the belt
retract fully.
RESTRAINT
OF
PREGNANT
WOMEN -General Motors urges that
pregnant
. women
use
a lap-shoulder belt
restraint whenever one
is
present. This
will
help
lessen
the chance of a pregnant
woman and her unborn child being injured
and/or
will
reduce the amount
of
their
injury
in
an
accident. The lap belt should
be
used
alone
if
a shoulder belt
is
not
present. In either case, the lap belt should
be
worn
as
low
and
snug
over
the hips as
possible,
as
advised for regular
seat
belt
use.
(See
the preceeding instructions.)
SEAT
BELT
LIGHT/BUZZER
REMINDER
•
When
the key
is
turned to "RUN"
or
"ST ART", a reminder light is
designed
to
come
on for four to eight seconds.
It
is
to
remind riders
to
fasten their seat
belts.
• If the driver's
seat
belt has not been
buckled before turning the key to
"RUN" or "START", a buzzer
is
designed to sound for four to eight
seconds (or until buckled)
as
a reminder.
If
the seat belt
or
reminder system does
not work
as
described,
see
your dealer for
service.
LAP
BELTS
FOR REAR
SEAT
(AND
CENTER FRONT SEAT)
PASSENGERS
• Rear seats next to
side
windows
have
retractors which are designed to take up
extra webbing automatically.
•
In
a
single
motion, pull the rear
seat
outboard
lap
belt across the lap far
enough to push the latch plate into the
buckle, until it clicks.
If
the belt
is
not
pulled
out
far enough
to
reach the
buckle, let the lap belt rewind fully into
its retractor. This unlocks it
so
the belt
can
be
pulled out
to
the proper length.
• These belts should be located, fastened
and released
as
described above under
"Front Seat Lap-Shoulder Belt." After
fastening, check that the belt
is
SNUG
by pulling the belt firmly across the lap
toward the lap belt retractor.
• Lap belts at center seats also should be
located, fastened, and released
as
described above. They should be
adjusted to a
SNUG
FIT by pulling on
CENTER
AND
REAR
LAP
BELTS
the end of the belt
coming
from the
adjustable latch plate.
• To lengthen the lap belt at center seats,
place the latch plate at a right
angle
to
the belt webbing and pull on the latch
plate. The belt should then
slide
easily.
ADDITIONAL
SHOULDER
BELTS
(Offered
as an accessory at some
dealerships)
•
When
properly worn with a lap belt, a
shoulder belt can
give
riders added
protection.
It
can
prevent
or
reduce
impact with the insides
of
the car by
restraining the upper body in a collision .
This
is
especially true in a frontal
impact.
