They Are for Everyone This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 33
could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than 40 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter...a lot! Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 34
Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. 34 - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 35
The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... or the instrument panel... 35 - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 36
in the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts - not instead of them. Every airbag system ever offered for sale has required the use of safety belts.

See Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment on page 47. 6. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 40
it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest.

Older children need to use safety belts properly. Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 57
In either case, be sure that the shoulder belt still is on the child's shoulder, so that in a crash the child's upper body would have the restraint that belts provide. If the child is sitting in a rear outboard position, see Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides on page 52. {CAUTION: Never do this. Here - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 58
: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child.

including support for the head and neck. This is necessary because a newborn infant's neck is weak and its head weighs so much compared with the rest of its body. In a crash, an infant in a rear-facing seat settles into the restraint, so the crash forces can be distributed across the strongest part - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 63
as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body area that is unprotected by any bony structure. This alone could cause serious or fatal flat surface. Make sure that the infant's head rests toward the center of the vehicle. 63 - 2007 Chevrolet Uplander | Owner's Manual - Page 64
