1996 CHEVROLET EXPRESS passenger seat

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Where to. Put the Restraint (Cargo Vans
and Cab and Chassis Models)
The child restraint must be secured properly in the
passenger seat. If your vehicle has a passenger air bag,
never- put a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle.
Here's why:
r"
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the passenger's
air bag
inflates. This
is because the back of a rear-facing
child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
air bag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in
this vehicle.
If a forward-facing child restraint is suitable for
your child, always move the passenger seat as
far
back as it will go.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move
around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people
in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in your vehicle'
-- even when no child is in it.
Top Strap
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be
anchored. If
you need to have an anchor installed, you
can ask your GM dealer to put it in for you. If you want
to install an anchor yourself, your 'dealer can tell you
how to
do it.

restraint. The child restraint instructions will show
you how.
5. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.
6. To tighten the belt, pull its free end while you push
down
on the child restraint.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions
to be sure it is secure. If it isn’t, secure the
restraint
in a different place in the vehicle and
contact the child restraint maker for their advice
about how
to attach the child restraint properly.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle
the vehicle’s
safety belt.
It will be ready to work for an adult or larger
child passenger.

rear-facing child restraint
in this seat. Here’s why:
I A CAUTION:
-
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured
if the front passenger’s air bag
inflates. This
is because the back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be very close to the inflating
air bag.
If your vehicle is a passenger van, always
secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat.
If your vehicle is a cargo van, do not use a
rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a
forward-facing child restraint
is suitable for your
child, always move the passenger seat
as far back
as
it will go.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about
the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1. If your vehicle has a front passenger air bag, always
move the seat as far back as it will go before
securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats”
in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
3. Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
4. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show
you how.
If the shoulder belt goes
in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.

to move by rotating the
switch counterclockwise to
adjust the passenger side
mirror and clockwise to
adjust the driver side
mirror. The center position
is neutral.
Then, adjust the mirror angle by pressing the outer
arrows on the switch until the mirror is adjusted
where
you want it.
Your electric outside
rearview mirrors can be
defrosted by pressing the
switch next to the heater
controls. (See “Comfort
Controls” in the Index.)
Convex Outside .Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface
is curved so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.

on the control panel. Turn the knob counterclockwise
for floor vent air flow or clockwise for headliner
vent air
flow. Generally, the upper vents are used for air
conditioning and the floor vents for heating. The control
knob can be set to any blend setting.
To adjust the air flow speed, turn the fan control knob
on
the left side of the control panel to the desired
blower setting.
To activate the rear control, move the fan knob on the
front control
to REAR CNTL.
The rear control works just like the front control. It will
allow second seat passengers to adjust the controls as
they desire.
