1997 GMC JIMMY child lock

If I'm a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should
I wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver. but if you're in an
accident
-- even one that isn't your fault -- you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver
doesn't protect you from things beyond
your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of
home. And the greatest number
of serious injuries
and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
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
vehicle, 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.
I. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see "Seats" in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt a11 the way out of
the retractor to set the lock.
6. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the
retractor while you push down on the child restraint.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions
to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt
and let it go back all the way. The safety belt
will nmc'c freely again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.

Door Locks
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.
You can use the Keyless Entry System, if YOLI have
this option.
To lock your door from the inside, slide the lever on
your inside door rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the
lever on your inside
door
forward. You will see a red
area
on the lever.
