Vehicle Damage Warnings

NOTICE
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

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,

This section tells you about the seats-how to adjust them, and
fold
them up
and down.

A
You
can lose control
of
the vehicle
if
you try
to
adjust a manual
I
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.

Move the lever under the front
of
the seat toward your 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.

Reclining
Front
Seatbacks
(Bucket
Seats
or

Split-Bench)
KO305
To adjust the seatback,
lift
the lever on the outer side
of
the seat. 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.
Sitting
in
a reclined position when 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.

There's one time the seatback
may
not fold without some help from you.
That's
if
your vehicle
is
parked going down a fairly steep hill.
To
fold
a front seatback forward, push the seatback toward the rear
as
you
lift
this latch. Then the seatback
will
fold forward. The latch
must
be
down
for
the seat
to
