4 Safety Belt Eaeder
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten
around you, you should use it. The
automatic lap-shoulder belt has plenty
of extra length built in, so it will fasten
around almost all people.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to
fasten, your dealer will order you
an
extender. It’s free. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat you will
wear,
so the extender will be long
enough for you. The extender will be
just for you, and just for the seat in your
vehicle that you choose. Don’t let
someone else use it, and use it only for
the seat
it is made to fit. To wear it, just
attach it to the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint
Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose
parts
or damage. If you see anything
that might keep a restraint system from
doing its job, have it repaired.
Replacing Safety Belts AjFer
a Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new
belts?
After
a very minor collision, nothing
may be necessary. But
if the belts were
stretched, as they would be
if worn
during a more severe crash, then you
need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace
them. Collision damage
also may mean
you will need to have safety belt or seat
parts repaired or replaced. New parts
and repairs may be necessary even
if the
belt wasn’t being used at the time of the
collision.
S
Q: What’s wrong with this?
A: The belt is torn.
Torn or frayed belts may not protect
you in a crash. They can rip apart under
impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed,
get a new one right away.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Convenience Net (OPTION)
Your vehicle may have a convenience
net. You’ll see it just inside the back
wall of the trunk. Put small loads, like
grocery bags, behind the net. It can help
keep them
from falling over during
sharp turns or quick starts and stops.
Unclip a corner of the convenience net
to fit larger objects behind the net, then
reclip it to secure them in place.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads.
Store them in the trunk as far forward
as
you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will
lie flat when you’re not using it.
Trunk Cargo Anchors (OPTION)
If your vehicle has fold-down rear seats,
you’ll find two or four anchors on the
back wall of your trunk.
You can use
these anchors to tie down lighter loads.
They prevent things from shifting during
sudden stops, turns and maneuvers.
These anchors are not for heavier loads.
Store those items as far forward in the
trunk as possible.
New Khicle ‘Break-in"
NOTICE:
Your modern Chevrolet doesn’t
need an elaborate “break-in.” But it
will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -
fast or slow - for the fist 500
miles (804 km) . Don’t make full-
throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the
first
200 miles (322 km) or so.
During this time your new brake
linings aren’t yet broken in. Hard
stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
“brealring-in” guideline every
time you get new brake linings.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How long should you keep the coolant
heater plugged in? The answer depends
on the weather, the kind of oil you
have, and some other things. Instead of
trying
to list everything here, we ask
that you contact a Chevrolet dealer in
the area where you’ll be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best
advice for that particular area.
.Automatic Transaxle
Your automatic transaxle has a shift
lever located on the console between
the seats.
There are several different positions for
your shift lever. In this manual, these
are referred to by the commonly used
symbols in the right column below:
Park P
. Reverse R
Neutral N
Drive D
Second 2
First 1
Park
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.

Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free
of ice, snow, or any other obstruction
(such as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better,
reducing the chance
of fogging the
inside of your windows.
In cold weather, turn the blower fan
to
HI for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake
ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front
seats clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
Audio Systems
The following pages describe the audio
systems available for your Chevrolet,
and how to get the best performance
from them. Please read about the
system in your vehicle.
Hearing damage from loud noise is
almost undetectable until it is too late.
Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes
of sound. Sound that seems
normal can be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting
the volume control on your radio to a
safe sound level before your hearing
adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss
or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the
Increase volume slowly until you hear
lowest
setting.
comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound
equipment to your vehicle
- like a
tape player,
CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
- be
sure you
can add what you want. If
you can, it’s very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment
may interfere with the operation of
your vehicle’s engine, DelcoB radio or other systems, and even damage
them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of
sound equipment that has been
added improperly.
So, before
adding sound equipment, check
with your dealer and be sure to
check Federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone units.

Cleaning Vinyl
Use warm water and a clean cloth.
Rub with a clean, damp cloth to
remove dirt.
You may have to do it
more than once.
polish will stain if you don’t get them
off quickly. Use a clean cloth and a
solvent-type vinyl cleaner.
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe
Cleaning the Top of the
Instrument Panel
Use only mild soap and water to clean
the top surfaces of the instrument
panel. Sprays containing silicones or
waxes may cause annoying reflections
in the windshield and even make it
difficult to see through the windshield
under certain conditions.
1 Ckaning the Cupholder
If beverages get spilled on your
cupholder, it may become difficult to
operate. The slider mechanism can
become clogged with pop, coffee, etc.
To clean and return the cupholder to normal
operation, simply spray
a water-
based cleaner (such as Glass Plus@ or
Windex@) on the tracks of the slider
mechanism, and then slide the
cupholder in and out until normal
operation
is regained. Hold a paper
towel under the cupholder to catch any
excess cleaner which could drip on your
carpet or seats.
Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM
Glass Cleaner
(GM Part No. 1050427)
or a liquid household glass cleaner will
remove normal tobacco smoke and dust
films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass,
because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals
on the inside rear
window, since they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are
used on the inside of the rear window,
an electric defogger element may be
damaged. Any temporary license should
not be attached across the defogger grid.
I Cleaning the Outside of the
Windshield and Wiper
Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using
the windshield washer, or if the wiper
blade chatters when running, wax or
other material may be on the blade
or
windshield.
