How
to
Use
This
Manual
Many
people
read
their owner’s manual
fiom
beginning
to
end
when
they
first
receive their new vehicle.
This
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
the
back
of
the manual. It’s an alphabetical list
of
all
that’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
with gray background
and
the
word
CAUTION
to
tell
you
about things that could hurt
you
if
you
were to ignore
the
warning.
In
the gray 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.
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.”
vi
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
Manual
Front
Seat
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 and head restraints.

Two-way Manual Seat
Four-Way Manual Seat (Option)
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
move the seat
with
your body to be sure the seat is
locked in place.
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 handle to tilt the seat
up
or'down.

But don’t have
a
seatback reclined if your vehicle is
moving.

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.
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.
8
Your vehicle has a light that
comes on as
a
reminder to
buckle up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light”
in
the
Index.
)
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!
1-5
Why Safety Belts Work
When you
ride
in
or
on
anything, you go
as
fast
as
it
goes.
Put someone on it.
Take
the simplest vehicle. Suppose it's just a seat
on
wheels.
1-6
I
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.
1-8
Here Are Questions Many People
Ask
About Safety Belts
--
and the Answers
&.’
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.
Q.’
If
I’m
a good driver, and
I

A:
You may be an excellent driver, but
if
you’re in an
home, why should I wear safety belts?
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
km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
1-9
How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This
part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special
things
to know about safety
belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies. If
a
child will be
riding
in
your
Chevrolet,
see
the part of
this
manual called “Children.”
Follow
those
rules for everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder
Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder bekHere’s how to wear it
properly.
1.
Close and lock the door.
2.
Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so
you
can sit up straight.
3.
Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across
you very quickly. If
this
happens, let the belt
go
back
slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.
