1974 CHEVROLET CAMARO child seat

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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine feet-4 inches in height, who are
able to sit up alone.
In using any infant or child re­
straint system, read and comply
with all installation and usage in­
structions. All unused seat belts
near the child should be stowed
properly to help prevent them from
striking him
or her in the event of
.an accident.
If a child is traveling in a vehicle
not equipped with a General
Motors infant or child restraint or
other safe infant or child restraint
system, the following precautions
should be taken:
1 . Infants unable to sit up by them­
selves should be restrained by
placing them in a covered.
padded bassinet which is placed
crossways in the vehicle (width-
10
wise) on the rear seat. The
bassinet should be securely re­
strained with the regular vehicle
seat belts. An alternate method
is to position the bassinet so that
it rests against the back of the
front seat, again crossways in
the vehicle .
2. Children able to sit up by them­
selves should be placed on a seat
and restrained with a seat belt.
When children ride in the front
seat , both lap and shoulder belt
should be worn.
If the shoulder
belt causes neck
or face irrita­
tion due to the child's size, this
may be reduced in some cases
by positioning the child further
inboard.
If serious discomfort
continues, the child should be
lap belted in the rear seat. Never
allow a child to stand or kneel
on any seat.

General Motors recommends
that children be restrained prop-

unusual conditions prohibit use
of restraints
and require that a
Trailer Hauling
Since passenger cars are designed
and intended to be used primarily
as passenger conveyances, towing
a trailer will affect handling,
dura­
bility and economy. Maximum
safety and satisfaction depends
upon proper use of correct
equip­
ment and avoiding overloads and
other abusive operation.
The maximum loaded trailer
weight which you
can pull with your
Camaro depends on what special
equipment has been installed on
your car. Chevrolet does not
rec­
ommend towing any trailer unless
the
car is properly equipped. Infor­
mation on trailer hauling capabili­
ties, special equipment required,
and optional equipment offered by child
must stand,
he should
stand
on the floor directly be­
hind the front seat. This will

Department,
Oshawa, Ontario).
To assist in attaining good han­
dling of the car-trailer combina­
tion, it is important that the trailer
tongue load be maintained
at ap­
proximately 10% of the loaded
trailer weight. Tongue loads
can be
adjusted by proper distribution of
the load in the trailer,
and can be
checked by weighing separately the
loaded trailer and then the tongue.
When towing trailers, tires should
be inflated to the highest
infla­
tion pressures shown on the placard
affixed to the left front door. The

injury from frontal impacts in
the event of an accident.
allowable passenger
and cargo
load, also shown
on the same plac­
ard, is reduced by an amount equal
to the trailer tongue load on the
trailer hitch.
Maintenance
More frequent vehicle mainte­
nance is required when using your
car to pull a trailer. Change the:
• Automatic transmission fluid
each
12,000 miles,
• Rear axle fluid each 12,000
miles,
• Engine oil each 60 days or 3,000
miles, whichever occurs first,
• Positive crankcase ventilation
valve each 12 months
or 12,000
miles, whichever occurs first.
• See index for important informa­
tion on belts, cooling system care
and automatic brake adjustment.
