Chevrolet Aveo Owner Manual - 2011

3-22 Seats and Restraints

After the adjuster is set to the

desired position, try to move it down

without pressing the release button

to make sure it has locked into

position.

Safety Belt Pretensioners

This vehicle has safety belt

pretensioners for front outboard

occupants. Although the safety belt

pretensioners cannot be seen, they

are part of the safety belt assembly.

They can help tighten the safety

belts during the early stages of a

moderate to severe frontal or near

frontal crash if the threshold

conditions for pretensioner

activation are met.

Pretensioners work only once. If the

pretensioners activate in a crash,

they will need to be replaced, and

probably other new parts for the

vehicle's safety belt system. See

Replacing Safety Belt System Parts

After a Crash on page 3‑23.

Safety Belt Use During

Pregnancy

Safety belts work for everyone,

including pregnant women. Like all

occupants, they are more likely to

be seriously injured if they do not

wear safety belts.

A pregnant woman should wear

a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap

portion should be worn as low as

possible, below the rounding,

throughout the pregnancy.

The best way to protect the fetus is

to protect the mother. When a safety

belt is worn properly, it is more likely

that the fetus will not be hurt in a

crash. For pregnant women, as for

anyone, the key to making safety

belts effective is wearing them

properly.

Safety Belt Extender

If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten

around you, you should use it.

But if a safety belt is not long

enough, your dealer will order you

an extender. When you go in to

order it, take the heaviest coat you

will wear, so the extender will be

long enough for you. To help avoid

personal injury, do not let someone

else use it, and use it only for the

seat it is made to fit. The extender

has been designed for adults. Never

use it for securing child seats. To

wear it, attach it to the regular safety

belt. For more information, see the

instruction sheet that comes with

the extender.
