Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast as it goes.
1. For example, if the bike is going
10 mph (16 km/h), so is the child.
I
2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops.
But the child keeps going!
3. Take the simplest “car.” Suppose
it’s just a seat on wheels.

CAUTION I
A
You can be seriously hurt if
your shoulder belt
is too
loose. In
a crash you would move
forward too much, which could
increase injury. The shoulder belt
should fit against
your body.

To unlatch the belt, just push the button
on the buckle.
Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides
for Children and Small Adults
Your vehicle may be equipped with rear
shoulder belt comfort guides. This
feature will provide added comfort for
children who have outgrown child
restraints, and for small adults. If your
vehicle does not have comfort guides,
you may ask your dealer
to order and
install them for you. The comfort guides
pull the shoulder belts away from the
neck and head.

Keys
vehicle-with the ignition key
is dangerous for many reasons. A
child or others could be badly
injured or even killed.
They could operate power
windows
or other controls or even
make the vehicle move. Don’t leave
the
keys in a vehicle with young
children. The
ignition keys are for the ignition
only. When
a new Chevrolet is delivered, the
dealer removes the plugs from the keys, and gives them to the first owner.
Each plug has a code on it that tells your
dealer
or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a
safe place.
If you lose your keys, you’ll
be able
to have new ones made easily
using these
plugs.
The door keys are for the doors and all
other locks.

A~ Unlocked doors can be
- dangerous.
Passengers-especially children-
can easily open the doors and fall
out. When
a door is locked, the
inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter
through
an unlocked door when you slow
down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You
increase
the chance of being
thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors aren't locked. Wear
dty belts properly, lock your
doors, and you will be fat better
off whenever you drive your
vehicle. There
are several ways to
lock and
unlock your vehicle.
From the Outside:
Use your door key.
From the Inside:
To lock the door, pull the sliding
locking lever back.
To unlock the door, push the sliding
locking lever forward.

Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be
more effective than braking. For
example,
you come over a hill and find a
truck stopped in your lane, or a car
suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a
child darts out from between parked
cars and stops right
in front of you. You
can avoid these problems by braking-if
you can stop in time. But sometimes
you
can’t; there isn’t room. That’s the time
for evasive action-steering around the
problem.
Your Chevrolet can perform very well in
emergencies like these. First apply your
brakes.
It is better to remove as much
speed
as you can from a possible
collision. Then steer around the
problem,
to the left or right depending
on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close
attention and a quick decision. If
you
are holding the steering wheel at the
recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions,
you can turn it a full
180 degrees very
quickly without removing either hand.
But you have to act fast, steer quickly,
and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once
you have avoided the object. You
must then be prepared to steer back to
your original lane and then brake
to a
controlled stop.
Depending
on your speed, this can be
rather violent for an unprepared driver.
This is
one of the reasons driving
experts recommend that you use your
safety belts and keep both hands on the
steering wheel.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always possible is a good reason to
practice defensive driving at all times.
Off-Road Recovery
You may find sometime that your right
wheels have dropped off
the edge of a
road onto the shoulder while you’re
driving.
If
the level of the shoulder is only
slightly below the pavement, recovery
should be fairly easy. Ease
off the
accelerator and then,
if there is nothing
in the way, steer so that your vehicle
straddles the edge of the pavement. You
can turn the steering wheel
up to ?4 turn
until the right front tire contacts the
pavement edge. Then turn your steering
wheel to go straight down the roadway.
If the shoulder appears
to be about four
inches
(100 mm) or more below the
pavement, this difference can cause
problems. If there is
not enough room to
