the buckle for proper Ht. To release
the lap belt, simply depress the push
button located in the center of the
buckle.
Automatic-locking lap belt retrac-
tors are provided for the added con-
venience of the driver and outboard
front seat passenger on all Chevro-
let cars as an extra cost option.
The automatic-locking retractors ad-
just and lock the lap belts into posi-
tion automatically to provide a snug
and comfortable Ht. A release knob
on the retractor permits additional
extension of the belt when desired.
Rotating the knob releases the belt for
additional adjustment. The belt locks
in the retractor automatically when
the knob is released.
To fasten a lap belt equipped with
an automatic-locking retractor, pull
the webbing across the lap far enough
to permit inserting the Hat metal
"eye" end into the buckle. If the Web-
bing is not initially pulled out far
enough to permit buckling, release the
webbing, thus allowing it to rewind
in the retractor and release the lock-
ing mechanism, so the webbing can
be pulled out to the proper length.
Rotating the release knob on the side
of the retractor also releases the auto-
matic locking mechanism, permitting
further extension of the webbing.
Once the buckle is fastened, pull the
belt firmly across the lap in the direc-
tion of the retractor to obtain a snug
fit. The retractor will automatically
take up the excess webbing.
When added slack is desired (for
example, to reach into a pocket), you
may simply rotate the release knob
on the retractor to release the auto-
matic lock without need for releasing
the buckle.
