Mama/ 4- Way Adjustab/e Driver’s
Seat
(OPTION)
There are two levers at the front of the
seat. The left lever adjusts the seat
forward and back. The right lever
adjusts
the angle of the front of the seat.
To Adjust the Seat’s Forward and
Rearward Movement:
Lift the left lever up and adjust the seat
forward or back. Then release the lever
and
try to move the seat to be certain
that
it is locked in place.
To Raise or Lower the Front of the
Seat:
Lift the right lever, and lean forward or
backward.

You can lose control of the
b 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.

I Front Seatback Latches
(2-DOOR MODELS)
In 2-door models, the front seatback
folds forward
to let people get into the
back seat. Your seatback will move back
and
forth freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it will lock
in place.
There’s one time the seatback may
not
fold without some help from you. That’s
if your vehicle is parked going down a
fairly steep hill.
To fold a front seatback forward, push
the seatback toward the rear as you
lift
this latch. Then the seatback will fold
forward. The latch must be down for the
seat
to work properly.

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.

2. Push down on the filler panel and the
seatback
so they lock into a level
position.

Convenience Net (OPTION)
Your vehicle may have a convenience
net. You’ll see it just inside
the back
wall of the trunk. Put small loads, like
grocery bags, behind the net. It can help
keep them from falling over during
sharp turns or quick
starts and stops.
Unclip a corner of the convenience net
to
fit larger objects behind the net, then
reclip it to secure them in place.
The
net isn’t for larger, heavier loads.
Store them in the trunk as far forward
as
you can.
You can unhook the net
so that it will lie
flat when you’re not using it.
Trunk Cargo Anchors (omoN)
If your vehicle has fold-down rear seats,
you’ll find two or four anchors on the
back wall of your trunk. You can use
these anchors to tie down lighter loads.
They prevent things from shifting during sudden stops, turns and maneuvers.
These anchors are not for heavier loads.
Store those items as far forward in
the
trunk as possible.
New Vehicle “Break-ln”
Your modern Chevrolet doesn’t
need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed-
fast or slow-for the first
500
miles (804 km 3on’t make full
throttle starts.
first 200 miles (322 km) or so.
During this time your new brake
linings aren’t yet broken in.
Harc
stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement. Follow this
“breaking-in” guideline eveq
time
you get new brake linings.
Avoid making hard stops for 1

strike and injure
people in
a sudden stop or turn, or
in
a crash.
Put things in the trunk or rear
area
of your vehicle. In a trunk,
put them as hr forward as you
can.
Try to spread the weight
evenly.
If you have fold-down
rear seats, you’ll find four
anchors on the back wall
of your
trunk.
You can use these anchors
to tie down lighter loads. They’re
not strong enough for
heavy
things, however, so put them as
fbr forward
as you can in the
trunk or rear area.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle
so
that some of them are above the
tops
of the seats.

inside the vehicle, secure it
whenever you can.

Tires
We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made by a
leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire manufacturers and
their warranties are delivered with every
new Chevrolet. If your spare tire is a
different brand than your road tires,
you will have a tire warranty folder from each
of these manufacturers.

CAUTION
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous. 1

friction. You could have
an air-out and a serious accident. See the Index

the recommended pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your
tires
are cold.
