iv
In 1932 Chevrolet
introduced the
Synchro
-Mesh
transmission and
offered a host of
accessories -- including
such niceties as a clock!The legacy of America's favorite sportscar
began in 1953, when 319 hand
-assembled
white Corvettes
launched the
first use of a
fiberglass body in
a production car.
The Chevrolet blend of
value and performance has
become an American
tradition -- whether bred for
the racetrack like the legendary
Corvette and Camaro, or created for the pleasure of the
open road.
Every decade, Chevrolet
has reinforced its heritage
of affordable performance
with quality and value crafted into each vehicle. It's not
surprising that for 80 years
ªGenuine Chevroletº has been
America's automobile.
We're proud to continue that
heritage in your Chevrolet,

Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -- how to
adjust them
-- and also about reclining seatbacks
and head restraints.
Manual Front Seats
CAUTION:
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 lever on the front of the driver's seat to unlock
it. Slide the seat to where you want it. Then release the
lever and try to move the seat with your body, to make
sure the seat is locked into place.
Your vehicle will be equipped with one of the following
passenger seat adjusters.

If your vehicle is not equipped with easy entry seats,
your passenger seat adjuster looks like this. Slide the
lever under the passenger's seat to the right to unlock it.
Slide the seat to where you want it. Then release the
lever and try to move the seat with your body, to make
sure the seat is locked into place.If your vehicle is equipped with easy entry seats, this is
your front passenger seat adjuster. Pull up on the lever at
the front of the passenger's seat up to unlock it. Slide the
seat to a comfortable position. Then release the lever
and try to move the seat with your body, to make sure
the seat is locked into place.
Manual Lumbar Support (If Equipped)
The manual lumbar support control is located at the
front of the driver's seat, toward the right. Turn the knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease
the amount of support to your lower back.

1-4 Reclining Front Seatbacks
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on the outer side of
the seat and move the seatback to where you want it.

lever and the seat will go to an upright position.But don't have a seatback reclined if your vehicle
is moving.

When you return the seatback to its original position,
make sure the seatback is locked. The latch must be
down for the seat to work properly.
CAUTION:
If the seatback isn't locked, it could move
forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
press rearward on the seatback to be sure it
is locked.
Easy Entry Seat (If Equipped)
CAUTION:
If an easy entry right front seat isn't locked, it
can move. In a sudden stop or crash, the person
sitting there could be injured. After you've used
it, be sure to push rearward on an easy entry seat
to be sure it is locked.
The right front seat of some two-door vehicles makes it
easy to get in and out of the rear seat.

Tilt the right front seatback completely forward and
the whole seat will slide forward.

Move the right front seatback to its original position
after someone gets into the rear seat area. Then move
the seat rearward until it locks.

Tilt the seatback completely forward again to
get out.

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 ªSeatsº 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.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

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.
