2005 Chevrolet Classic Owner ManualM

Q:If I am 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 are in an
accident — even one that is not your fault — you
and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver does not 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
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, seeOlder Children on page 1-26
orInfants and Young Children on page 1-28. Follow
those rules for everyone’s protection.
First, you will want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We will start with the driver position.
Driver Position
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see
how, see “Seats” in the Index.
1-11

Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of
the way. If you slam the door on it, you can damage
both the belt and your vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment
Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt height
adjuster to the height that is right for you.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the
belt is centered on your shoulder. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not falling off
your shoulder.
To move it down, squeeze
the release button and
move the height adjuster
to the desired position.
You can move the height
adjuster up just by pushing
on the shoulder belt guide.
After you move the height adjuster to where you want
it, try to move it down without squeezing the release
button to make sure it has locked into position.
Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt,
and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible,
below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it is more
likely that the fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.

At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
•Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
•Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
•Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-4.
•If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or
a qualified technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
The following functions are
available with the keyless
entry system:
Q(Lock):Press the lock button to lock all of the
doors. The interior lamps will turn off after all of
the doors are closed.
2-4

W(Unlock):Press the unlock button once to unlock
the driver’s door. Press the button again within five
seconds for all remaining doors to unlock. The interior
lamps will stay on for 10 seconds or until the ignition
is turned on.
V(Remote Trunk Release):Press the remote trunk
release button to unlock and release the trunk lid.
You can open the trunk with the transmitter when the
vehicle speed is less than 2 mph (3 km/h), when
the parking brake is engaged, or when the ignition is off.
The interior lamps will come on for 10 seconds or
until the ignition is turned to ON.
L(Remote Alarm):Press this button for the horn to
sound and the headlamps and the parking lamps to flash
for up to two minutes. The interior lamps will come on and
remain on while the horn is sounding and the lamps are
flashing. Press the remote alarm button again, or turn the
ignition to ON, to turn off the horn and lamps.
Programmable Horn Chirp
When you use the remote keyless entry transmitter
to lock the doors or use the delayed locking feature the
parking lamps will flash and the horn will chirp.The programmable horn chirp can be disabled by
pressing and holding either of the door lock switches in
the unlock position for 10 seconds with the ignition
ON and all of the doors closed. When you hear the horn
chirp, programming is complete.
To reactivate the horn chirp feature, repeat the above
procedure.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
four transmitters matched to it.

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers — especially children — can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle will not open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors are not locked. So,
wear safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or
stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can
help prevent this from happening.There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use the key or the remote keyless
entry transmitter. Only the driver’s door has a lock
cylinder.
From the inside, you can lock and unlock the door by
moving the manual lever forward or rearward.
2-7

Power Door Locks
With the power door locks,
you can unlock or lock all
the doors on your vehicle
using either the driver’s or
front passenger’s door
lock switch.
Pull up on the switch to unlock all the doors. Push down
on it to lock all the doors.
The rear doors do not have power door lock switches.
Rear seat passengers must use the manual levers
to lock or unlock the rear doors.
Door Ajar Reminder
If one of the doors on your vehicle is not closed properly,
while the ignition is on and the shift lever is moved from
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), you will hear a chime. Also,
the door ajar light on the instrument panel will come on
and stay on until the doors are closed.
Delayed Locking
This feature will allow the driver to delay the actual
locking of the vehicle. This feature will not operate if the
key is left in the ignition. SeeLockout Protection on
page 2-11.
When LOCK on the driver’s power door lock switch is
pressed, with the key removed from the ignition and the
driver’s door open, three chimes will be heard signally
the delay. The doors will not lock until seven seconds
after the driver’s door has been closed. All of the doors
will then lock and the parking lamps will flash twice.
The horn will also chirp if the horn chirp feature is
enabled. See “Programmable Horn Chirp” listed
previously for more information.
If another door opens during this delay, the locking of
the doors will occur seven seconds after all of the doors
are closed.
Press the power door lock switch twice when leaving
the vehicle, or press the LOCK button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter for the door to lock
immediately.
If the power door lock switch is pressed to unlock, the
doors will unlock immediately and not lock automatically
after the doors are closed.
