Replacing Latch System Parts After A; Crash - Chevrolet Bolt EV 2021 Owner's Manual

4. When the child restraint is removed,
reinstall the head restraint before the
seating position is used.
Warning
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly, there is a
greater chance that occupants will suffer
a neck/spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for all
occupants are installed and adjusted
properly.
To reinstall the head restraint:
1. Partially fold the seatback forward. See
Rear Seats 0 31.
2. Insert the head restraint posts into the
holes in the top of the seatback. The
notches on the posts must face the
driver side of the vehicle.
3. Push the head restraint down.
If necessary, press the height adjustment
release button to further lower the head
restraint. See Head Restraints 0 26.
4. Return the head restraint to the full
upright position if folded. Pull the head
restraint up and forward until it locks
into place.
5. Try to move the head restraint in all
directions to make sure that it is locked
in place.
Seats and Restraints
Always adjust the head restraint so that
the top of the restraint is at the same
height as the top of the occupant's head.
See Head Restraints 0 26.
Replacing LATCH System Parts
After a Crash
Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH system in
the vehicle. A damaged LATCH system
may not properly secure the child
restraint, resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash. To help make sure
the LATCH system is working properly
after a crash, see your dealer to have the
system inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system and it
was being used during a crash, new LATCH
system parts may be needed.
New parts and repairs may be necessary
even if the LATCH system was not being
used at the time of the crash.
