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.
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.

Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-door models, the switch on each
rear door worlts only that door’s lock. It
won’t lock (or unlock) all of the doors-
that’s a safety feature.
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then
get out and close the door.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. If you have an automatic
transaxle, all of the doors will lock
when you move your shift lever out of
P (Park) or N (Neutral). If you have a
manual transaxle, all of the doors will
lock when the vehicle goes about
8 mph
(13 lun/h) . Each time you close your
doors and turn on the ignition, the
doors will lock automatically only once.
If someone needs to get out while the
vehicle is running, have that person use
the manual or power lock. When the
door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or
power lock to lock the door again.
Theft
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.

/gnition Switch
With the ignition key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the switch to five
positions:
Accessory: An “on” position in which
you can operate your radio and
windshield wipers. Press in the ignition
switch as you turn the top
of it toward
you.
Lock The only position in which you
can remove the key. This locks your
steering wheel, ignition and transaxle.
I
Off: Unlocks the steering wheel,
ignition, and transaxle, but does not
send electrical power to any accessories.
Use this position if your vehicle must be
pushed or towed, but never try to push-
start your vehicle. A warning chime will
sound
if you open the driver’s door
when the ignition is
off and the key is in
the ignition.
Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after you start your
engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the
Run position when
the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use
Run to operate your electrical power
accessories, and to display some instru-
ment panel warning lights.

lgnition Switch (CONT.)
Start: Starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The
ignition switch will return to Run for
normal driving.
Note that even if the engine is not
running, the positions
Accessory and
Run are “on” positions that allow you
to operate your electrical accessories,
such
as the radio.
NOTICE I
If your key seems stuck in Lock
and you can’t turn it, be sure it is
all the way in. If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while
you turn the key hard. But turn the
key only with your hand. Using a
tool to force it could break the key
or the ignition switch.

P (Park): This locks your front wheels.
It's the best position
to use when you
start your engine because your vehicle
can't move easily.
CAUTION
A
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P
(Park) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don't leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you
have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others
could be injured.
To be sure your vehicle won't move, when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and move the
shift lever to P (Park).
See the
Index under Shifting Into P (Park). If you are parking on a hill, or if
you're pulling a trailer, also see the
Index under Parking on Hills or Towing a
Trailer.

Pump-to-Set Parking Brake
The parking brake uses the brakes on
the rear wheels.
To Set the Parking Brake:
Hold the regular brake pedal down with
your right
foot. Pump your parking
brake pedal several times with your left
foot until the pedal feels firm. If the
ignition is on, the brake system warning
light will come
on.
Over time, more pumps may be needed
to set the parking brake firmly.
If it ever takes more than two full
pumps, have the brake system adjusted
by your dealer.
