Seatback Latches

the seatback forward. The seatback will
lock in the forward position.

position,
just pull up on the latch and
then push the seatback rearward. After
you return the seatback to its original
position,
check to make sure the
seatback is locked.

Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride-in or on anything, you
go -as fast as it goes.
1. For example, if the bike is going 10
-mpfi (16 km/h), so is the child.
2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops. But the child keeps going!
3. Take the simplest "car." Suppose
it's just- a seat on wheels.

Lap-Shoulder Belt (conrr.)
The lap part of the belt should be worn
low and snug on the hips, just touching
the thighs.
In a crash, this applies force
to
the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be
less likely to slide under the lap belt. If
you sfid under it, the belt would apply
force at
your abdomen. This could
cause serious
or even fatal injuries. The
shoulder belt should go over the
shoulder and across the chest. These
parts of the body are best able to take
belt restraining.forces.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden
stop or crash.
If-you do not want the lap belt to move
freely, push the “cinch” button. To
loosen the belt, unbuckle it, let it
retract,
and buckle up again.
Q: What’s wrong with this?
.A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It
won’t
give nearly as much protection
this way.
..
You can be seriously. hurt -if. :
your shoulder belt is ,tao
loose. In, a crash you would move
forward too much, which could
significantly increase injury.
‘Thg
shoulder belt should fit against your
body.

How fhe Air Bag System Works
(CONT.)
CAUTION
Don’t attach .anything’to
A the steering wheel pad. It
might injure the driver if the air
bag
inflates.
The air bag isdesigned to inflate
only once. After it inflates, you”ll
.n~ed ‘some new parts €or
your:. air
bag system. .If you don’t get them,
the air bag system won’t be there
to help.protect
you in another
crash. -A new system will include
the:air bag.module and possibly
other
parts. The service manual
has. information about the need
to

Servicing Your Corvette with the
Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works
on your Corvette that
it fias the air bag
system. There are parts
of the air bag
system in several places around your
vehicle.
You don’t want the system to
inflate while someone is working
on
your vehicle. The air bag system does
not need regular maintenance. Your
Chevrolet dealer and the 1993 Corvette
Service Manual have information about
the air bag system, including repair or
disposal.
When electrical work is done under the
hood or inside your vehicle, the ignition
should be in
Lock, if possible.
Avoid yellow wires, wires wrapped with
yellow tape, or yellow connectors. They
are probably part
of the air bag system.
But if the ignition has to be on for
electrical work, or if the steering column
is to be disassembIed, the air bag system
must be disconnected.

Keys The ignition keys are for the ignition
Ody.
The door keys are for the doors anddl
other locks, except the. engine power
switch (if you have a ZR-1) which uses
a third key.
When a new Corvette'is delivered, the.
dealer removes the plugs
from the keys,
and gives them to the-first owner.
However, the ignition key may not have
a plug.
Each
plug has a code on it that tells
your dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. Keep the plugs
' in a safe piace. If you lose your-.keys,
you'll be able to have new ones made
easily using these.plugs. If your ignition
keys dodt have plugs, go to your
Chevrolet dealer for the correct key
code if you need a new.ignition key.
