This section tells you about the seats-
how to adjust them-and also about
reclining seatbaclts and head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
A You can lose control of the
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 male you push a
pedal when you don't want to.
Adjust the driver's seat )only when
the vehicle
is not moving. Move
the control handle under the
front
of the seat to unlock it. Slide the
seat to where you want it. Then release
the handle and
try to move the seat
with your body, to make sure the, seat is
locked into place.

Reclining Front Seatbacks (CONT.)
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
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.
’7 1
A
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so
that the top of the restraint is closest to
the top
of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a
neck injury in a crash.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatbaclc uprij
:.
Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Seatback Latches
In 2-door Chevrolets, the front seat
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 facing down a
fairly steep hill.
To fold a 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.

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:
Zlwy’re For Everyone (Cont.)
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
tone, too. It’s the reminder to buckle
up. In many states and Canadian
provinces, the law says to wear safety
belts. Here’s why:
They work.
t
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
. . . a lot!

When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast as it goes.
1. For example, if the bike is going 10
mph (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.
