could hurt you

the warning.

In the gray caution area, we tell

you what the hazard

is.

Then we tell

the hazard. Please read these cautions.

If

hurt.

Seats and

Seat

Controls

This section tells

you

about the seats-

how to adjust them-and

also

about

reclining seatbaclts and head restraints.

Manual Front Seat

To

adjust the seat forward or back, lift

the handle. After it’s adjusted, release

the handle and

try

to move the seat to

be certain it has locked into place.

Manual Four-Way Seat Adjuster

(OPTION)

To

tilt the whole seat forward or

backward, squeeze the lever. Position

the seat where

you

would

like

it,

then

release the lever.

Reclining

Front

Seatback

Lift the lever to release the seatback,

then tilt the seatback forward or

backward, as desired. Release

the

lever

to lock the seatback in place.

But don't have a seatback reclined

if

your

vehicle is moving.

14

Head Restraints

Slide the head restraint up or down

so

that the top of the restraint is closest to

the top of your ears.

This position reduces the chance

of

a

neck injury in a crash.

Seatback Latches

In 2-door Oldsmobiles, the front seat

folds forward to let people get into the

back seat.

Your seatback will move back and forth

freely,

unless

you come to a sudden

stop. Then it will lock in place.

There’s one time the seatback may not

fold without some help

from

you. That’s

if your vehicle is parked facing down a

fairly steep hill.

To fold a seatback forward, push

the

seatback toward the rear as you lift this

latch. Then the seatback will fold

forward. Thelatch must be down for

the seat to work properly.

And

You never

know

if

you’ll be in a crash.

If you do have

a

crash, you don’t lmow

if it will be a bad one.

A

few crashes are mild, and some

crashes can

be

so

serious that even

bucklkd up a person wouldn’t survive.

But most crashes are in between. In

many of them, people who buckle up

can survive and- sometimes walk away.

Without belts they could have been

badly hurt or lulled.

After more than

25

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.

With

belts,

you

and

your

have to buckle up to get the most

protection. That’s true not only in

frontal collisions, but especially in

side and other collisions.

drive far

from

home, why should

I

wear safety belts?

A:

You

may be an excellent driver, but if

you’re in an accident

-

even one

that isn’t your fault

-

you and your

passengers can be hurt. Being a good

driver doesn’t protect you from

things beyond your control, such as

bad drivers. Most accidents occur

within

25

miles

(40

lun)

of

home.

And the greatest number of serious

injuries and deaths occur at speeds

of less than

40

mph

(65

lun/h).

Safety belts are for everyone.

When the key is turned to

a chime will come

safety belts, unless the driver’s safety

belt is already buckled. The safety belt

light will also come on and stay on until

the driver’s belt

is

buckled.
