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

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
