Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to
use safety belts properly. It also tells
you some things you should not
do with
safety belts.
This figure lights up as a reminder to
buckle up. (See
Safety Belt Warning
Light
in the Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s
why:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some
crashes can be
so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are in between. In
many of them, people who buckle up
can survive and sometimes walk away.
Without belts they could have been
badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts
in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling
up does matter ... a lot!

Safety Belt Warning
light
When the key is turned to Run or Start,
a chime will come on for about eight
seconds to remind people to fasten their
safety belts, unless the driver’s safety
belt is already buckled. The safety belt
light will also come on and stay on for
20 seconds, then it will flash for an
additional
55 seconds. If the driver’s
belt is already buckled, neither the
chime nor the light will come on.
How To Wear Safety Belts
Properly
Adults
This section is only for people of adult
size.
Be aware that there are special things to
know about safety belts and children.
And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies.
If a child will be
riding in your Chevrolet, see the section
after this one, called
Children. Follow
those rules for everyone’s protection. First,
you’ll want
to know which
restraint systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Vehicles First SoldIn Canada
Was your Chevrolet first sold, when
new, in Canada?
(If it was, a sticker on
the driver’s door will say “conforms to
all applicable Canada motor vehicle
...”
etc.) If so, then the rest of Part 1 does
not apply to your vehicle.
To learn how to use your safety belts,
please read the
Owner’s Manual Safety
Belt Supplement. It comes with every
new Chevrolet first sold in Canada.

Instrument Panel Clusters
Your Chevrolet is equipped with one of
these instrument panel clusters, which
include indicator warning lights and
gages that are explained
on the
following pages. Be sure to read about
those that apply to the instrument panel
cluster for your vehicle.
Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your
speed in both miles per hour (mph) and
kilometers per hour (ltm/h). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in
the
U.S.) or kilometers (used in
Canada).
1 Tamper Resistant Odometer
Your Chevrolet has a tamper resistant
odometer.
If you see silver lines
between the numbers, you'll know that
someone has probably tried to turn it
back,
so the numbers may not be true.
You may wonder what happens if your
vehicle needs a new odometer installed.
