Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured
if they don’t wear safety belts. The
best way to protect the fetus is
to protect the
mother. When
a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt
in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.

The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,’’
earlier
in this section.

the rounding, throughout
the pregnancy.

Rear Seat Passengers
It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who
are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who
are wearing safety belts.

more slowly.

If it does, let it go back all the way and start again.
If the belt is not 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.
3. To make the lap part tight, pull‘down on the buckle
end
of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part. 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.

too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.

ignition only.
The door keys are for the
doors and all other locks.
When a new Chevrolet is delivered, the dealer removes
the plugs from the door keys and gives them to the
first owner. The
ignition keys don’t have plugs. Your Chevrolet
dealer or Roadside Assistance has the code for
your keys.
Each plug has a code on
it that tells your dealer or a
qualified locksmith how to make extra door keys. Keep
the plugs
in a safe place. If you lose your door keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made easily using
these plugs.
If you need a new ignition key, contact your Chevrolet
dealer who can obtain the correct key code, or, in
an
emergency, call Chevrolet Roadside Assistance at
1 -800-CHEV-USA (1-800-243-8872).

I NOTICE:
Your Chevrolet has a number of 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.

Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out
of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better
off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your door key or Remote Lock
Control transmitter, if your vehicle has this option. From the inside,
push the lever
to lock the door. To
unlock, pull the lever.
Power Door Locks
Press the power door lock switch to lock or unlock
all doors.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get out and
close the door.
