Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also,
in
this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there is something that
could damage your vehicle.
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
yellow for cautions, blue for notices and the words
CAUTION or NOTICE.

Seats and Restraint Systems
Here you’ll find information about the seats in your
Chevrolet and how to use your safety belts properly.
You
can also learn about some things you should not do
with air bags and safety belts.
Seats and Seat Controls
This
section tells you how to adjust the seats and
explains reclining seatbacks, folding rear seats and head
restraints.
Manual
Front
Seat
1-1
Two-way Manual Seat
Four-Way Manual Seat (Option)
The driver's seat
may
have a bar and a handle under the
front edge
of
the seat. Lift the bar to unlock the seat and
slide it forward and back.
Lift the
bar
under the front
of
the seat to unlock
it.
Slide
the seat to where
you
want it and release the bar. Try to

is
locked
in
place.
Lift the handle
to
tilt the seat up or down.
1-2
Power
Seat (Option)

(A):
Raise the front of the seat by holding the
switch up. Hold the switch down to lower the front of
the seat.
CENTER

Front
Seatbacks
Lift the lever to release
the

then
move the
seatback to where you want it. Release the lever to lock
the seatback
in
place. Pull up on the lever without
pushing on the seatback, and the seatback will move
forward.
1-3
But don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle
is
moving.
-4
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.
I
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches
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.
If
your vehicle is parked facing down a fairly steep
hill,
the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
To fold the locked seatback forward, push the seatback
toward the rear and lift
this
latch. Then the seatback will
fold forward. The latch must be down for the seat to
work properly.
..
.
Split Folding Rear Seat (Option)
Pull forward on the seat tab to fold the seat down.
To
return the seat to its original position, push it back up
and make sure it latches.

Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone
This
part
of
the manual tells you how
to
use safety belts
properly. It also tells you
some things you should not do
with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or
“air bag” system.
Your vehicle has a light that
comes on as a reminder to
buckle
up.
(See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in the
Index
.)
8
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to
wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They
work.
You
never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If
you do have a
crash, you don’t know
if
it will be
a
bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious that even buckled 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
killed.
After more than
25
years
of
safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter
...
a lot!
1-6
Why Safety Belts Work
When you
ride
in
or
on anything,
you
go
as fast as it
goes.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it's
just
a
seat
on
wheels.
Put
someone on it.
1-7
Get
it
up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider
doesn’t stop.
The
person keeps going until stopped
by
something,
In
a real vehicle, it could be the windshield
...
1-8
or the instrument panel
...
or
the
safety belts!
With
safety belts,
you
slow down as the vehicle does.
You
get more time to stop.
You
stop over more distance,
and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s why
safety belts make such good sense.
1-9
Here Are Questions Many People
Ask
About Safety
Belts
--
and the Answers
Q:
Won’t
I
be trapped in the vehicle after an
accident if
I’m
wearing a safety belt?
A:
You
could
be
--
whether you’re wearing a safety
belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt,
even
if you’re upside down. And your chance of
being conscious during and after an accident,
so
you
can
unbuckle and get out, is
much
greater if
you are belted.
Why don’t they just put in air bags
so
people
won’t have to wear safety belts?
A:
Air bags are
in
many vehicles today and will be
in
more of them
in
the future. But they are
supplemental systems only;
so
they work with
safety belts
--
not instead
of
them. Every air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the use
of
safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has air
bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.
If I’m a good driver, and
I
never 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
km) of
home. And the greatest number
of
serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40
mph
(65
kdh).
Safety belts are for everyone.
