Chevrolet 2006 Epica, Owner'S Manual

Page: 53 / 368

There is no top tether anchor in the right front
passenger’s position. Do not secure a child seat in
this position 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 tether
must be anchored. See
Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH) on page 1-39 if your child restraint
has a top tether.
You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure
the child in the child restraint when and as the
instructions say.
1. Your vehicle has airbags. See Passenger Sensing
System on page 1-58 . General Motors recommends
that rear-facing child restraints be secured in a
rear seat, even if the right front passenger’s
frontal airbag and side airbag (if equipped) is off.
If your child restraint is forward-facing, move
the seat as far back as it will go before securing
the child restraint in this seat. See
Manual Seats
on page 1-2 .
When the passenger sensing system has turned off
the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and side
airbag (if equipped), the off symbol in the passenger
airbag status indicator should light and stay lit
when you turn the ignition to ON or START. See
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 3-33 .
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. 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.
4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
