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.
ProCarManuals.com

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.

Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go
as fast as it goes.
For example, if the bike is going IO mph
(16 km/h), so is the child. When the bike hits the
block,
it stops. But
the child keeps going! Take the simplest
"car." Suppose it's just
a seat on wheels.

First, you’ll want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.

-%raint 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
“Seats”
in the Index) so you can sit up
straight.

The lap part of the belt should be worn
low and snug on the hips, just touching
the thighs.

the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be

you slid under it, the belt would apply

When electrical work is done under the
hood or inside your vehicle, the ignition
should be in
LOCK if possible. Avoid
wires wrapped with yellow tape, or yellow
connectors. They are probably part
of the
air bag system.
Your vehicle has a driver’s air bag and a
right-front passenger’s air bag. Both bags
must
be disconnected if the ignition has to
be on for electrical work or if the steering
column is to be disassembled. First,
disconnect the driver’s air bag like this:
1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse.
(See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.)
3. Disconnect the yellow connector at the
base
of the steering column. After
you follow this procedure for the
jriver
’s air bag, then disconnect the
right-front passenger’s air bag like this:
1. Remove the cover under the instrument
2. Disconnect the small yellow connector
When the work is complete, if the air bag
system was disconnected, be sure to
reattach everything and replace
the fuse
before turning the ignition on. When you
turn the ignition key on, be sure you see
the air bag readiness light on the
instrument panel.
If you don’t see this lighl
flash and then go out as usual, have your
air bag system repaired.

Safety Belt Use dumg
Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Like all occupants, they
are more likely to be seriously injured if
they don’t wear safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion
should be worn as low as possible
throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother. When a safety belt is
worn properly, it’s more likely that the
fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For pregnant
women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them
properly.
