Manual

Welcome

This manual was prepared to acquaint you with the operation and

maintenance

of

your

Chevrolet truck, and to provide important safety

Information booklet. In some vehicles, there can be information manuals from

other manufacturers like body builders or special equipment companies. We

urge you to review all these publications carefully. This will help you enjoy

safe and trouble-free operation

of

your vehicle.

When

it

comes to service, keep in mind that your Chevrolet dealer knows

your vehicle best and is interested in your complete satisfaction. Your dealer

invites you to return for

all

of your service needs both during and after the

warranty period.

Remember, if you have a concern and need help handling

it

to your

satisfaction see the procedure in Section

8,

or in the Chevrolet Truck

Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet.

Thanks for choosing a Chevrolet product. We value you as a member of the

Chevrolet family. We want to assure you

of

our continuing interest in your

pleasure and satisfaction with your vehicle.

Safety

Warnings

of

safety cautions in this book. We use yellow and

the the word

CAUTION

to tell you about things that could hurt you

if

you

were to ignore the warning.

In the yellow 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 red 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.”

NOTICE

I

rhese mean there is something that could damage your vehicle.

I

In the blue 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. In this manual, we’ve used

the familiar words and colors that General Motors has used for years.

You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use the same colors,

and the words CAUTION or NOTICE.

Adjust the driver’s seat only when the vehicle

Slide the lever at the front of the seat toward your door to unlock

To

adjust the seatback, lift the front

of

this lever.

If

your vehicle has a

passenger side easy entry seat, your seatback lever will be slightly larger, but

will work the same way. Release the lever to lock the seatback where you

CAUTION

A

sitting in

a

reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be

1

I

,,.Igerous. 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

I

belt properly.

I

Head Restraints

I

i

AN102016

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.
