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.
On convertible models, the safety belt also locks if you
pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.

1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don't let it get twisted.
On convertible models, 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.
2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the
latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle it.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt is not long enough, see ªSafety Belt
Extenderº 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.

This key is for the
ignition only.
This key is for the doors
and all other locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the
bar
-coded 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 door key 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, contact your dealer, who
can obtain the correct key code. In an emergency, call
Chevrolet Roadside Assistance at 1
-800-CHEV-USA

or 1-800-243-8872 (In Canada call 1-800-268-2800).
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.

Door Locks
CAUTION:
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 Content Theft
-Deterrent/Alarm System and it is
armed, unlocking and opening a door this way will set
off the alarm after seven seconds unless the ignition key
is inserted into the ignition. See ªContent
Theft
-Deterrent/Alarm Systemº in the Index.
To lock the door from the inside, slide the lock control
on the door rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the lock control on the
door forward.

2-5 Power Door Locks (If Equipped)
Press the power door lock switch located on the driver's
door to lock or unlock both doors at once. Operating the
power locks may affect the Content
Theft
-Deterrent/Alarm System (if your vehicle has this
option). See ªContent Theft
-Deterrent /Alarm Systemº
in the Index.The lock switch works at all times, except when
Lockout Prevention (if equipped) is programmed. The
unlock switch only works when the ignition is in RUN,
ACC or Retained Accessory Power (RAP). (See
ªRetained Accessory Powerº in the Index.)
Last Door Closed Locking (If Equipped)
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 of the doors will
lock once everyone has gotten out of the vehicle and
closed their doors.
When the power door lock switch is pressed, a chime
will sound three times, indicating that the Last Door
Closed Locking feature has been activated. Pressing the
LOCK switch again will lock the doors immediately.
Pressing the UNLOCK switch will cancel a previously
requested Last Door Closed Locking.
Your vehicle is shipped from the factory with this
feature off. To turn this feature on, see ªFeature
Customizationº in the Index.
