OPTIONAL REAR SHOULDER BELT
• To
use
the detachable shoulder belt,
unstow it and place the knob on the
shoulder belt end in the
"keyhole" on
the lap belt latch plate. (This can
ONLY
be done BEFORE the lap belt is
fastened.) Tilt the knob
as
needed
to
pass
it
through the slot. Pull the knob
firmly upward to seat it at the narrow
end of the keyhole. Then fasten the lap
belt.
Do
this in reverse when taking off
the shoulder belt and putting it away.
• The detachable shoulder belts can be
made shorter or longer in the
same
way
as center seat lap belts.
• The detachable shoulder belt should
have enough slack to put a fist's width
between your chest and the belt. This
can
be checked
by
putting a clenched
10
fist between the belt and your chest.
(place thumb against chest with back
of
hand up.)
CAUTION: Too much slack could
increase the amount of injury because
the belt would not be able
to
properly
restrain you in an accident.
Do
NOT
wear the shoulder belt under the arm or
out of position.
Such
use
could increase
the chance of injury and/or the amount
of
injury in an accident.
SEAT
BELT
INSPECTION
• Now and then, check that belts, buckles,
latch
plates,
retractors, reminder
systems, guide loops, and anchors work
properly.
Also
check for damage that
could keep the restraint system from
doing its job
(see
below).
DETACHABLE SHOULDER BELT
• Keep sharp
edges
and damaging objects
away from the belts and other parts
of
the restraint system.
•
Do
not put anything into the opening
where the seat belt webbing passes
through the trim panel. This may jam
the retractor and/or damage the belt.
• Replace belts
if
cut, weakened, or
frayed. Also have belts replaced
if
they
have been worn in a collision.
• If there is any question, have parts
replaced.
• Keep belts clean and dry.
• Clean only with mild soap and lukewarm
water.
•
Do
not bleach or dye belts
since
this
may badly weaken them.
CHILD
RESTRAINT
Children in cars should be restrained
to
help lessen the chance
of
injury and/or the
amount
of
injury in accidents or sudden
stops.
General Motors dealers offer
restraint systems designed by
GM
for
use
with infants and small children. For babies
