Chevrolet Trax: Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides

Rear safety belt comfort guides may provide added safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for some adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide positions the shoulder belt away from the neck and head.

Safety belt comfort guides are available through your dealer.

Instructions are included with the guide.

To install:

Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides

  1. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must be behind the belt with the plastic guide on the front.
  2. The elastic cord on the comfort guide is adjustable. Make it longer or shorter by squeezing both ends of the plastic adjuster and pulling on the elastic cord or the guide.
  3. Adjust the guide so the shoulder portion of the belt is on the shoulder and not falling off of it.

    The belt should be close to, but not contacting, the neck.

    Improper comfort guide adjustment could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash.

Warning

A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.

  1. Buckle and position the safety belt as described previously in this section. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder.

To remove and store the comfort guide, squeeze the belt edges together so that the safety belt can be removed from the guide. Unhook the guide from the loop on the seat.

Store the guide in a convenient place like the glove box for the next time it is needed.
