Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats -
how to adjust them, and also about
reclining front seatbacks, seatback latches
and
the folding rear seatback.
Manual Front Seat
Move the lever under the passenger's
front 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.
1
Four- Way Manual Seat
To move the driver's seat forward or
backward, lift the lever under the left
front
of the seat. To tilt the entire seat, lift
the lever under the right front of the seat.
ProCarManuals.com

You can lose control of the
h 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.
Six- Way Power Seat (opmv)
The driver's seat has three controls on
the left side.
The front control makes the front of the
seat
go up and down.
The back control makes the back
of the
seal
go up and down.
The center control makes the whole seat
go
up and down or forward and
backward.
... ..
Reclining Front Seatbacks
To adjust the seatback, lift the lever on the
outer side of the seat. Release the lever to
lock the seatback where
you want it. Pull
up on the lever, and the seat will go to its
original upright position. But don't have
the seatback reclined
if your vehicle is
moving.

Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be
- dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t
do its job because it won’t be against your body. Instead,
it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt can’t
do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is
in motion, have the seatback upright.
Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
Front Seatback latches
The front seatbacks fold forward to let
people get into the back seat. To fold a
seatback forward, push
the seatback
toward the rear as
you lift this latch. Then
the seatback will fold forward.

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.
I CAUTlON:
If the seatback isn’t locked,
Fh 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.
Folding Rear Seatback
The rear seatback in your Chevrolet folds
down to provide more storage space.
To fold the seatback down:
1. Pull forward on both levers.
2. Fold the seatback down.
To raise the seatback:
1. Pull it up to the locked, upright
position.
2. Be sure both latches hold the seatback
in place. Have them fixed if they
don’t.
Safety Belts: They’re
for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to
use safety belts properly. It also tells you
some things you should not do
with safety
belts. And it explains the Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag” system.

Don’t let anyone rid6 where
h they can? wear a safety belt
properIy. If YOU are in a crash and
you’re not wearing a safety belt,
your injuries can be much worse.
You can hit things inside the vehicle
or be ejected from it. You can be
seriously injured or killed. In the
same crash, you might not k if you
are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your
passengers” belts are fastened
properly too.
This figure lights up when you turn the
key
to Run or Start when your safety belt
isn‘t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime,
too.
It’s the reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says
to wear safety belts. Mere’s
why:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If
you do have a crash, you don’t know if it
will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them, you
won‘t get hurt even if you’re not buckled
up. And some crashes can be
so serious,
like being hit by a train, that even buckled
up
a person wouldn’t survive. But most
crashes are in between. In many
of them,
people
who buckle up can survive and
sometimes walk away. Without belts they
could be badly hurt
or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the fxts are clear. In most crashes
buckling
up does matter ... a lot!
