2004 Chevrolet Aveo Owner ManualM

Q:If I’m 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’re in an
accident – even one that isn’t your fault – you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver doesn’t 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 1-28
orInfants and Young Children on page 1-30. 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
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
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.
1-15

If your vehicle has one, the driver’s side impact air bag
is in the side of the driver’s seatback closest to the door.
{CAUTION:
If something is between an occupant and an
air bag, the bag might not inate properly or it
might force the object into that person causing
severe injury or even death. The path of an
inating air bag must be kept clear. Don’t put
anything between an occupant and an air bag,
and don’t attach or put anything on the
steering wheel hub or on or near any other
air bag covering. Don’t let seat covers block
the ination path of a side impact air bag.

Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1

One key is used for the
ignition, the door and all
other locks.When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes
the key tag and gives it to the first owner. The tag has a
code on it that tells your dealer how to make extra keys.
For vehicle security, keep the key tag in a safe place and
also record the key number somewhere other than inside
of the vehicle. If you lose your key, you will be able to
have a new one made easily using the tag.
Your vehicle may have an electronic immobilizer
designed to protect your car against theft. If so, only
keys with the correct electronic code can be used
to start the vehicle. Even if a key has the same profile,
it will not start the engine if the electronic code is
incorrect. If you need a new key, contact your dealer
who can obtain the correct key code. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program on page 7-6for more information.
Notice:If you ever lock your keys in your vehicle,
you may have to damage the vehicle to get in.
Be sure you have spare keys.

Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
The following functions are
available if your vehicle
has the remote keyless
entry system:
Q(Lock):Press this button to lock all of the doors.
If all of the doors and the trunk or liftgate are closed, the
hazard lamps will flash once and the horn will chirp to
indicate that locking has occurred and that the
theft-deterrent system is active.
K(Unlock):Press this button to unlock all of the
doors. The hazard lamps will flash twice to indicate that
unlocking has occurred and that the theft-deterrent
system is deactivated.
You can lock and unlock your doors from about 20 ft
(6 m) away using the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The LED on the transmitter will flash when the
buttons on the transmitter are pressed.
The lock and unlock buttons will not operate and the
theft-deterrent system will not activate while the key is
in the ignition.
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 five
transmitters matched to it.

locked. So, wear safety belts properly and
lock the doors whenever you drive.

unlocked door when you slow down or
stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can
help prevent this from happening.
