Replacing Restraint System Parts
After a Crash
‘0
the
1998
zr’s
Manual
If
you’ve had a.crash, do you need new safety belts or
~~~~
built-in child
restraint
parts?
This information replaces the “Replacing Restraint
System Parts After a Crash” portion located in Section
After
a
very
minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
1
in
your
owner’s manual.
But if the safety belts
or
built-in child restraint harness
straps were stretched, as they would be if worn during a
more severe crash, then
you
need new safety belts or
harness straps.
Part
No.

If
you
ever
see
a
label
on
the
drrver’s
or
right front
passenger’s safety belt that says to replace
the
belt, be
sure
to
do
so.
Then the new belt will be there
to
help
protect
you
in
a
collision. You would see this label on
the belt near the latch plate.
If safety belts or built-in child restraint harness straps
are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also
may
mean you will need to have safety belt, built-in
child restraint or seat parts repaired
or
replaced.
New
parts
and
repairs may be necessary even if the safety belt
or built-in child restraint wasn’t being used at the time
of the collision.
If
an
air
bag inflates, you’ll need to replace air bag
system parts. See
the
part on the air bag system earlier
in this section.

How
to
Use
this
Manual
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning
to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you
do this, it will help you learn about the features and
controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find
that pictures and words work together to explain
things quickly.
Index
A good place to look for what you need is the Index in
back of
the
manual. It’s an alphabetical list of what’s in
the manual, and the page number where you’ll find it.
Safety Warnings and Symbols
You
will find a number of safety cautions in this book.
We use a
box
and the word
CAUTION
to tell
you
about things that could hurt you
if
you were to ignore
the warning.
A
CAUTION:
I
These mean there
is
something that could hurt
you or other people.
In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then
we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the
hazard. Please read these cautions. If you don’t, you or
others could be
hurt.
iii
You will also find a circle
with a slash through it in
this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,’’
“Don’t do this” or “Don’t
let this happen.”
Vehicle
Damage Warnings
Also,
in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
In the notice area, we tell you about something that can
damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would
not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.
But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid
the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or
in different words.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use
the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
These mean there is something that could
damage your vehicle.

you about bucket and bench seats, power seats and
head restraints.

2-Way
Front Seat
You can lose control
of
the vehicle if you try to
adjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle
is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you
don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle
is
not moving.
’
.
’
.
’?
..
The bucket seats can be
adjusted forward or
rearward
by
the lever at
the front
of
the seat.
Move the seat adjustment lever at the front
of
the seat
toward
the
driver’s door
to
unlock
it.
Slide the seat to
where you want it. Then release the lever and try to
move the seat with your body, to make sure the seat
is
locked into place.

Manual Lumbar Support
(If
Equipped)
Power Seats
(If
Equipped)
If
you have this feature, there will be a control pad
on the inboard side
of
the driver and passenger
bucket seats.
If
you have this feature, there will be a knob on the
inboard side of the driver and passenger bucket seats.
Turn the knob toward the front
of
the vehicle to increase
lumbar support. Turn the knob toward the rear of the
vehicle
to
decrease lumbar support.
The front control makes the front of the seat go up
and down.
The center control makes the whole seat go forward,
rearward, up or down.
The rear control makes the rear
of
the seat
go
up
and down.
1-3
Reclining Seatbacks
There is a lever
on
the inside
of
the seat to adjust
the seatback.
You
can adjust the
seatback
by
lifting the
lever. Release the lever to
lock the seatback where
you want it. Pull up on the
lever and the seat will go
to an'upright position.
But
don't have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle
is moving.
A
CAUTION:
--
Sit ---lg in a reclined position wl-
-
n
your vehicle is
in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because
it
won’t be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In
a
crash the
belt could go
up
over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your safety
belt properly.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some models and adjustable
on others. Slide an adjustable 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
(Non-Touring Bench Seats)
The seatback lever
is
on
the right rear of your seat.
1-5
0
RELEASE
To
fold your non-touring
seatback forward, pull up on
the latch release lever while
pulling the seatback toward
the rear
of
the
vehicle.
After the latch has been released, push the seatback
toward the front of the vehicle until it locks in place.
To
raise the seatback, unlock the seatback latch by pushing
up
on
the lever while pushing down
on
the upper edge
of
the seatback. Move the seatback into
the
upright
position. Make sure the seatback is locked when it is
back
in
the upright position.
A
CAUTION:
If the seatback isn’t locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there, Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it
is
locked.
Rear
Seats
I
A
seat that isn’t locked into place properly can
move around in a collision or sudden stop. People
in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to lock
the seat into place properly when installing it.
