Seats and Restraints
3. After checking that there are no twists in
the belt, insert the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
4. Position the seat belt across the lap as
low as possible on the hips. Pull the
fold-back end of the belt (upper side)
until the belt is adjusted to a snug fit.
To Unfasten:
Push the button on the buckle to unfasten
the belt.
The center seat belt (length-adjustable
two-point belt) is designed so that it cannot
be connected with any of the windowside
seat belts (three-point seat belts with ELR).
Seat Belt Extender
If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten around
you, you should use it. But if a seat belt is
not long enough, your dealer will order you
an extender. Only a GM dealer issued
extender should be used. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will
wear, so the extender will be long enough
for you. To help avoid personal injury, do
not let someone else use it, and use it only
for the seat it is made to fit. The extender
has been designed for adults. Never use it
for securing child restraints. For more
information on the proper use and fit of
seatbelt extenders see the instruction sheet
that comes with the extender.
Safety System Check
Now and then check that the belts, buckles,
latch plates, retractors, anchorages and
guide loops work properly; look for loose
parts or damage (without disassembly) that
could keep the restraint system from doing
its job. Have a belt assembly replaced if the
webbing has been cut or otherwise
damaged. Replace belts, retractors, and
hardware used in all but a minor collision.
Also, restraint systems should be replaced
and anchorages properly repaired if they
were in areas damaged by a collision,
whether the belt was in use or not. If there
is any question, replace the belt system.
Damage, whether visible or not, could result
in a serious personal injury in the event of
an accident.
