Here you'll find information about the seats in your Chevrolet and how to use your safety belts properly.
You can also learn about some things you should not
do with air bags and safety belts.
Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you how to adjust the seats and explains
reclining seatbacks, folding rear seats and head restraints.
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust a manual driver's seat while the vehicle is
moving. The. sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push
a pedal when you
don't want to. Adjust the driver's seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.
Lift the bar under the front of the seat to unlock it. Slide
the seat to where you want it and release the bar.
Try to
move the seat with your body to be sure the seat is
locked
in place.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position
reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a crash.
Seatback Latches
The front seat folds forward
to let people get into
the
back seat. Your seatback
will move back and
forth
freely, unless you come to
a sudden stop. Then it will
lock in place.
If your vehicle is parked facing down a fairly steep hill,
the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
To fold the locked seatback forward, push the seatback
toward the rear and lift this latch. Then the seatback will
fold forward. The latch must be down for the seat to
work properly.
Split Folding Rear Seat (Option)
Pull forward on the seat tab to fold the seat down. To
return the seat to its original position, push it back up
and make sure it latches.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
Chevrolet, 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. Here’s how to wear
it 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.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t
let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock
if you pull the belt across
you very quickly.
if this happens, let the belt go back
slightly
to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull
up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender” at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
5. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle
end
of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder belt. The
lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching
the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be
less likely
to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over
the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able
to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there’s a sudden stop or crash, or
if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
