Seats & Safety Belts
Folding Rear Wagon Seats
To add more cargo room, your rear
seatback can be easily folded down. Be
sure to check your seatback latches now
and then by pushing the seatback back
and forth. If they do not latch properly,
have them checked by your dealer.
Remember to keep safety belts clear of
seat hinges and latches
so they are not
damaged when you raise and lower the
seatback.
&
To Lower the Split Folding Rear Seat:
1. There is a release lever on the side of
each seat. Pull the release lever
forward and pull the seatback
forward and down.

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 facts are clear.
In most crashes
buckling up does matter.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose
parts
or damage. If you see anything that
might keep a restraint system from
doing its job, have it repaired.
Replacing Safety Belts After a
Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new
belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing
may be necessary. But if the belts were
stretched, as they would be if worn
during a more severe crash, then you
need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace
them. Collision damage also may mean
you will have
to have safety belt parts,
like the retractor, replaced or anchorage
locations repaired-even
if the belt
wasn’t being used at the time of the
collision.
Q: What’s wrong with this?
A: The belt is torn.
I Torn or frayed belts may not
L protect you in a crash. They
can rip apart under impact forces.
If a belt
is torn or frayed, get a
new one right away.

4. If your engine won’t start (or starts
but then stops), it could be flooded
with too much gasoline.
Try pushing
your accelerator pedal all the way to
the floor and holding it there as you
hold the key
in Start for about three
seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly
but then stops again, do the same
thing, but this time keep the pedal
down for five or six seconds. This
clears the extra gasoline from the
engine. Your
engine is designed to work
with the electronics in your
vehicle. If you add electrical parts
or accessories, you could change
the way the fuel injection system
operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with your dealer.
If you don’t, your engine might not
perform properly.
If you ever have to have your
vehicle towed, see the part
of this
manual that tells how
to do it
without damaging your vehicle.

Index under Towing Your
Chevrolet.

Turn Signal and Lane Change
Indicator
(CONI)
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever
until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if
the arrows don’t flash but just stay on, a
signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help
avoid an accident.
If the green arrows
don’t go
on at all when you signal a
turn, check the fuse (see
the Index under
Fuses & Circuit Breakers) and for
burned-out bulbs.

rn Cruise Control (OPTION)
With cruise control, you can maintain a
speed of about
25 mph (40 h/h) or
more without keeping your foot on the
accelerator. This can really help on long
trips. Cruise control does not work at
speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, or the
clutch pedal, the cruise control shuts
off.
Cruise control can be
l dangerous where you can’t
drive safely at a steady speed.
So, don’t use your cruise control
on winding roads or-in heavy
traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such
roads, hst changes in
tire
traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could
lose
control. Don’t use cruise control
on slippery roads.

Operation of lights
Although your vehicle's lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and
provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these
lamps. For example, some jurisdictions
may require that you operate your lower beam lights with
fog lamps at all times,
or that headlights be
turned on
whenever you must use your windshield
wipers.
In addition, most jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parking
lights, especially at dawn or dusk. It is
recommended that you check with your
own state or provincial highway
authority for applicable righting
regulations.

If you aren’t used to a convex
mirror, you can hit another

A convex mirror can make
things (like other vehicles) look

hit a vehicle on
your right. Check your inside
