Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat
passengers to buckle up! Accident
statistics show that unbelted people in
the rear seat are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are wearing
safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted
can be thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash. And they can strike others in the
vehicle who are wearing safety belts.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger
Positions
The positions next to the windows have
lap-shoulder belts.
Here’s How to Wear One Properly:
1 . Pick up the latch plate and pull the
belt across
you. Don’t let it get
twisted.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.

Lar,,r Children
Children who have outgrown child
restraints should wear
the vehicle's
safety belts.
If you have the choice, a
child should sit
next to a window so the
child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder
belt can provide.
Accident statistics show that children are
safer
if they are restrained in the rear
seat. But they need
to use the safety
belts properly.
Children who aren't buckled up can be
thrown out in a crash.

Never do this.
Ir Here two children are wearing
the same belt. The belt can't
properly spread the impact forces.
a In a crash, the two children can be
crushed together and seriously
injured. A belt must be used by
only one person at a time.

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.

Glove Box Lock
(RS AND 2-24 MODELS)
Use the door key to lock and unlock the
glove box.
To open, pinch the handle, Vehicle theft
is big business, especially
in some cities. Although your Chevrolet
has a number of theft-deterrent features,
we know that nothing we put on it can
make it impossible to steal. However,
there are ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition: If you walk away
from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders or
professional thieves-so don’t do it.
When you park your Chevrolet and
open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you
to remove your
key from the ignition and take
it with
you. Always do this. Your steering
wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition. If you have an automatic
transaxle, taking your key out also locks
your transaxle. And remember to lock
the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted
spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your
valuables out of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots: If you park in a lot where
someone will be watching your vehicle,
it’s best
to lock it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your
ignition key? What if you have to leave
something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your trunk or glove box. Use the
remote trunk release lockout feature,
if
so equipped. See Remote Trunk
Release earlier in this section.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
