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:
- Locate the anchor loop (1) on
the rear outboard seatback.
- Attach the adjustable comfort
guide (2) to the anchor loop by
threading the hook through
the loop.
- Place the guide over the belt,
and insert the two edges of the
belt into the slots of the guide.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
