Chevrolet Trax: Securing Child Restraints (Front Passenger Seat - Mexico)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.
Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the passenger airbag
inflates. This is because the back
of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the
inflating airbag. Secure
rear-facing child restraints in a
rear seat. A child in a forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the front outboard
passenger airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a forward
position. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front outboard passenger
seat, always move the passenger
seat as far back as it will go. It is
better to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3-50 for top tether
anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure the child restraint in this
position, follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
- Move the seat as far back as it
will go before securing the
forward-facing child restraint.
- Put the child restraint on
the seat.
- Pick up the latch plate, and run
the lap and shoulder portions of
the vehicle's safety belt through
or around the restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show
you how.
- Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button on
the buckle so that the safety belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
- To tighten the belt, push down
on the child restraint, pull the
shoulder portion of the belt to
tighten the lap portion of the belt
and feed the shoulder belt back
into the retractor. When installing
a forward-facing child restraint, it
may be helpful to use your knee
to push down on the child
restraint as you tighten the belt.
- Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To check,
push and pull the child restraint
in different directions to be sure
it is secure.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
