BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
•
To
unfasten the belt, push in the button
in
the
center
of
the buckle.
• The retractor
is
designed to rewind the belt when the shoulder belt
is
pulled outward about six inches. Pulling on the belt
is
necessary
to cause it to retract. Hold the latch plate as it retracts to keep it
from possibly striking people or things nearby.
Ifneeded,
slide the
latch plate down the webbing to let the belt retract fully.
RESTRAINT OF PREGNANT WOMEN
General Motors urges
that
pregnant women use a lap-shoulder belt
whenever one
is
present. This will help lessen the chance
of
a pregnant
woman and her unborn child being injured
and/or
will help reduce the
severity of
theirinjury
in
an accident.
The
lapbelt
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 preceding instructions).
SEAT BELT LIGHT
IBUZZER
REMINDER
• When the key
is
turned to
"Run"or
"Start",
a reminder light
is
designed to come on for four to eight seconds.
It
is
to remind riders
to fasten their seat belts.
• I f the driver's seat belt has not been buckled before turning the key
to
"Run"
or
"Start",
a buzzer
is
designed to sound
forfour
to eight
seconds (or until buckled) as a reminder.
I f the seat belt or reminder system does not work as described, see your
dealer for service.
LAP BELTS FOR REAR SEAT PASSENGERS
• Rear seat lap belts 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 positioned, worn, 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. This will allow the retractor to take
up slack.
