How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part 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 Aurora, see the part of this manual 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.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. The shoulder portion
of the belt has an energy management loop. It is
designed to open and help protect you in certain crashes.
If
it opens, you will see a label on the safety belt that
says to replace the belt. Be sure to do
so. If you don’t,
the safety belt won’t work properly and won’t protect
you
in another crash. For more information on replacing
safety belts after a crash, see “Replacing Safety Belts”
in
the Index.
Here’s how to wear the lap-shoulder belt properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

The ignition keys are for the
ignition
only.
The door keys are for the
doors and all other locks. When
a
new Aurora is delivered, the retailer removes
the plugs from the keys and gives them to the first
owner. However, the ignition key may not have a plug.
If the ignition key doesn’t have a plug, there will be a
bar-coded key tag instead.
Each plug or tag has a code
on it that tells your retailer
or a qualified locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep
the plugs or tags in
a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you’ll
be able to have new ones made easily using these
plugs or tags.
If your ignition keys don’t have plugs or
tags, go to your Aurora retailer for the correct key code
if you need a new ignition key.
There are
15 alternative PASS-Key@II blanks, to help
discourage theft. Your retailer can he1 determine which
key code
you need. (See “PASS-Key 11” in the Index.) 8
NOTICE:
Your Aurora has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot
of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even have to
damage your vehicle
to get in. So be sure you
have extra keys.
