1974 CHEVROLET CAMARO child lock

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Door Locks
Front side doors can be locked
from the inside by depressing the
passenger guard door lock buttons
located on the upper door panel.
All doors can be locked from the
outside by first depressing the door
lock button and closing the door.
The front doors can also be
locked by using the key.
All models have as a standard
safety feature overriding door locks.
When the doors are locked, the
door latch mechanism
is inopera­
tive, preventing inadvertent open­
ing of the door
by movement of the
inside handle.
REMINDER: Avoid hanging ob­
jects on the right hand coat hook
in such a way that you block the
driver's vision to the right rear
quarter.
"
REMINDER: Always lock the
doors when driving, for greater
security in the event of an accident,
to help keep children from opening
door, and for greater security
against entry
by unwelcome per­
sons while momentarily stopped.
Front Seat Backlocks
Front seat backs are equipped
with a
self, locking mechanism to
keep the seat back locked in place
while
in the up position. The lock
release lever
is located at the lower
4
rear of the seat back nearest the
door. To tilt the seat back forward,
lift the lock release lever and tilt
the seat back forward. When the
seat back
is returned to the up
position, the seat back will auto­
matically lock.
Keep seat belts and buckles clear
of mechanism when tilting folding
seats forward or backwards, to pre­
vent damage to these belt restraints.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Seat Belt Buzzer/Light
Reminder
• The front seat belts are linked to
a buzzer and light which remind
occupants to fasten their belts.
• The buzzer and light are de­
signed to come on when any
outboard front seat occupant's
belt
is not fastened, while at­
tempting to start the engine; or
if any front seat belt
is un­
fastened while driving in any
forward gear.
• The reminders do not come on
when the engine
is running and
a front belt
is unbuckled if the
transmission
is in Park or neu­
tral (automatic and column­
shift transmission cars), or if the
parking brake
is engaged (floor
shift transmission cars).
If seat belt system , ignition in­
terlock system, or reminder system
does not work
as described , see
your dealer for information and assistance.
Lap Belts (For
Rear Seat
Passengers)
• Seating positions next to side
windows have retractors which
are designed to automatically
take up excess webbing and
maintain tension on the lap belt.
These belts should be positioned
and secured
as described above
under
"Lap-Shoulder Belt Com­
bination.
"
Seat Belt Inspection
• Periodically inspect belts,
buckles, adjustable latch plates,
retractors, interlock and re­
minder systems, guide loops,
clips, and anchors for damage
that could lessen the effective­
ness of the restraint system.
• Keep sharp edges and damaging
objects away from belts, and
other parts of restraint system.
• Replace belts if cut, weakened,
9
frayed, or subjected to collision
loads.
• Check that anchor mounting
bolts are tight.
• Have questionable parts re­
placed.
• Keep seat belts clean and dry.
• Clean only with mild soap solu­
tion and lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since
this may severely weaken belts.
Child Restraint
Children in automobiles should
be restrained to lessen the risk of
injury in accidents, sudden stops
or other hazardous situations. Gen­
eral Motors dealers offer restraint
systems designed specifically for
use with infants and with small
children. The GM
"Infant Love
Seat" is designed for babies up to
20 pounds. The GM "Child Love
Seat" is designed for children
weighing 20 to 40 pounds, up to 3
