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
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.
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.

The ignition keys are for
the ignition only.
The door keys are for the
doors and all other locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the
plugs from the keys, and gives them to the first owner. The
ignition keys don’t have plugs. Instead, they have
bar-coded key tags. These tags may be removed by
your dealer or even before the vehicle is delivered to
your dealer.
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 using these plugs.
If you need a new ignition key, go to your dealer, who
can obtain the correct key code. In an emergency, call
Chevrolet Roadside Assistance at
1 -800-CHEV-USA.
(In Canada call
1-800-268-2800.)

I NOTICE:
Your vehicle 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.
(If your vehicle has
the Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrentlAlarm System and it
is armed, unlocking and opening a door this way
will set
off the alarm. See “Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenVAlarm System” in the Index.)

The lock switch works at all times, except during
“Lockout Prevention” (if that feature

If you have power door locks, you can program your
vehicle to have a delayed locking of the doors. This lets
you or your passengers exit the vehicle after you’ve
pressed the power door lock switch. All the doors will
lock once everyone has gotten out
of the vehicle and
closed their doors..

requested Last Door Closed Locking.
This feature is shipped from the factory with the ignition

Lockout Prevention (If Equipped)
To protect you from locking your keys in the vehicle,
this feature stops the power door locks from locking
when the keys are in the ignition and a door is open.
If
the power lock switch is pressed when a door is open, a
chime will sound five times as a reminder to take the
keys out of
the ignition before locking the door. This
feature is shipped from the factory with the ignition
position in
ON. If you would like to turn this feature
off, see “Feature Customization” in the Index.
Leaving Your Vehicle
