Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 2016 Manual page 48

Warning (Continued)
do not use a seat belt if it does
not fit snugly over the child's hips
because restraining the child
under those conditions could be
dangerous in the event of a
collision or sudden stop. Instead,
use an appropriate child restraint
system available on the market.
For further details, please contact
your dealer.
Use a child restraint system that
fits the size of the infant or child.
Install the system according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
Children who have outgrown child
restraint systems should use the
vehicle's seat belts.
Remove any twists in the seat
belt before fastening it. A seat
belt with twists will not provide full
protection because it cannot
disperse shocks efficiently in the
event of a collision or
sudden stop.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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 put the lap portion of a
seat belt over any armrest.
Do not wear a shoulder belt under
your arm nearest the door.
Do not let a buckle release button
face downward or inward.
Expectant mothers or people
suffering from chest or abdominal
conditions should check with their
doctor for specific
recommendations about wearing
seat belts.
Do not use one seat belt for more
than one person. If worn by more
than one person, the seat belt
would not work effectively in a
collision or sudden stop.

Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
Have seat belts inspected and,
if necessary, replaced by the
nearest dealer when the webbing
becomes frayed or worn and/or
when the buckle or other
mechanical parts fail to work
properly.
If your vehicle has been involved
in a collision, the seat belts worn
at the time may have lost their
original strength due to impact
even if they appear intact. These
seat belts must be inspected and,
if necessary, replaced by the
nearest dealer.
Be careful to keep the buckles
and retractors free of dust and
foreign matter. (This may jam the
retractor or damage the belt.)
Do not let the belt system
become damaged by the door
or seat.
