Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these
blue notices:
NOTICE I
hese mean there is somct
ould damage your vehicle.
hese mean there
is somct
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
Chevrolet has used for years.
You’ll also see warning labels on your
vehicle. They use the same colors, and
the words CAUTION or NOTICE.

Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats-
how to adjust them-and
also about
reclining seatbacks and head restraints.

Manual Front Seat
IC"
I , You can lose control of the
- b vehicle if you try to adjust a
manual 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 seat to
unlock it. Slide the seat to where you
want
it. Then release the lever and try tc
move the seat with your body, to make
sure the seat is locked into place.

Reclining Front Seatback
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on
the outer side
of the seat and move the
seatback
to where you want it. Release
the lever
to lock the seatback. Pull up
on the lever and the seat will go to an
upright position.
But don't have a seatback reclined if
-Jour vehicle is moving.

A
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.
Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some
vehicles and adjustable on others. Slide
an adjustable 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.
On some models, the head restraints tilt
forward and rearward also.

I Front Seatback Latches
(2-DOOR MODELS)
In 2-door models, the front seatback
folds forward
to let people get into the
back seat. Your seatback will move back
and
forth freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it will lock
in place.
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 work properly.
