child lock CHEVROLET ASTRO PASSENGER 1993 1.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine After 25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes
buckling up
does matter . . . a lot!

Why Safety Belts Work
’-’?

AM115001
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. For example, if
the bike is going 10 mph (16 km/h), so is the child. When the bike hits the
block, it stops. But the child keeps going!

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 move freely again and be ready
to work for an adult or
larger child passenger.

Door Locks
I
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.
. .. -. . -. * i .. .. .- . 8. .. . -
'here are several ways
to lock and unlock your vehicle:
PO441
From the outside: Use your door key.
From the inside:
To lock front doors and sliding side door, slide the lock
levers down.
Rear doors cannot be manually locked from the inside.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you drive into a curve at night, it’s harder to see the road ahead of
you because
it bends away from the straight beams of your lights. This is
one good reason to drive slower.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective than braki\
ng. For
example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a
car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these problems by
braking-if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room.
That’s the time for evasive action-steering around the proble\
m.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply your
brakes.
It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision.
Then steer around the problem,
to the left or right depending on the space
available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision.
If you
are holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock positions,
you can turn
it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand.
But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly straighten the
wheel once you have avoided the object. You must then be prepared
to steer
back to your original lane and then brake to a controlled stop.
