Self-taught contrabass

So I'm borrowing an Eb Contrabass from my school over the summer for fun. I've only played Bb and Eb soprano clarinets, so it's a little unfamiliar territory.

I just tried playing the chromatic scale and I couldn't play any higher than the highest F on the staff (F5)

It just makes an awful squeak each time I try playing the next G and everything above it.

I've noticed there's 2 bridges on the instrument. One is connected to the 6th finger key. Am I supposed to press that key down when I get to the G? Or is my instrument broken or something.
