GMC Terrain: Seat Belts / Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides
Warning
A seat 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.
Rear seat belt comfort guides may
provide added seat 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.
This vehicle will have rear seat belt
comfort guides in the rear outboard
seating positions.
To install:
- Remove the guide from its
storage pocket on the side of
the seatback.
- 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.
- Buckle, position, and release
the seat belt as described
previously in this section. Make
sure the shoulder belt crosses
the shoulder. The belt should
be close to, but not contacting,
the neck.
To remove and store the comfort
guide, squeeze the belt edges
together so that the seat belt can be
removed from the guide. Slide the
guide back into its storage pocket
on the side of the seatback.
All seating positions in the vehicle
have a lap-shoulder belt.
The following instructions explain
how to wear a lap-shoulder belt
properly.
Adjust the seat, if the seat is
adjustable, so you can sit up
straight...
Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to
be seriously injured if they do not
wear seat belts...
Other information:
The vehicle has an electronic
keyless ignition with pushbutton
start.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

the system to operate. If the
pushbutton start is not working, the
vehicle may be near a strong radio
antenna signal causing interference
to the Keyless Access system...
