Chevrolet 1973 Monte Carlo Owner's Manual page 9

• Seating positions next to side
windows have retractors which
are designed to automatically
take up excess webbing and
maintain tension on the lap belt.
• Lap belts at center seating po-
sitions should be positioned and
secured as above, and adjusted
to a SNUG FIT by pulling on
the end of the belt extending
from the adjustable latch plate.
• To lengthen lap belt at center
seating positions place adjust-
able latch plate at right angles
to the belt webbing and pull on
7
latch plate; belt should then
slide easily through the adjust-
able latch plate.
• To unfasten lap belts, depress
push button in center of buckle.
NOTE: Take care not to let the lap
belt twist while it is being rewound
into the retractor. The bulk of the
twisted belt may cause the retractor
to jam so it will not rewind further
while at the same time the retrac-
tor's locking mechanism prevents
the belt from being withdrawn. If
a belt should become jammed, you
may be able to release it by pulling
the belt out far enough to untwist
it. Otherwise, the retractor will re-
quire servicing.
