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.

you some things you should not do with
safety belts.

This section describes the driver’s
restraint system.
Automatic Lap-Shoulder Belt
This safety belt is called “automatic”
because you don’t have to buckle up
when you
get into your vehicle. And you
don’t have to unbuckle when
you get out.
Just get into your vehicle. Then close
and lock the door. Adjust the seat (to
see how, see the
Index under Seat
Controls) so you can sit up straight.

Automatic LapShoulder Belt (CONTI)
Thelap belt should be worn as low on
the hips as possible.
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 slid 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 a crash.

It's possible that .an automatic belt
could
keep youfrom'€ully opening a
door. That
cm happen if the door was
slammed shut very hard. Just close
the
door all the way, then slowly open it. If
that doesn't fix it, then your Chevrolet
needs service.
We hope
you will always keep your
automatic belt buckled. However, you
may need to unbuckle it
in an
emergency.
And you would need to unbuckle it to
let someone
get into the center front
seat position,
if your vehicle has one.
To Unbuckle the Automatic Belt:
Just push the button on the buckle. -

The ignition keys are for the ignition
only.
The door keys are for the doors and all
other locks. When a new Chevrolet is delivered,
the
dealer removes the plugs from the keys,
and gives them to the first owner.
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 place.
If you lose your keys,
you'll be able to have new ones made
easily using these plugs.

Power Door Locks
You can lock or unlock all doors of your
vehicle from the driver or passenger
door lock switch.
On 4-door models, the switch on each
rear door worlts only that door’s lock. It
won’t lock (or unlock) all of the doors-
that’s a safety feature.
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then
get out and close the door.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the
ignition. If you have an automatic
transaxle, all of the doors will lock
when you move your shift lever out of
P (Park) or N (Neutral). If you have a
manual transaxle, all of the doors will
lock when the vehicle goes about
8 mph
(13 lun/h) . Each time you close your
doors and turn on the ignition, the
doors will lock automatically only once.
If someone needs to get out while the
vehicle is running, have that person use
the manual or power lock. When the
door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or
power lock to lock the door again.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially
in some cities.
Although your Chevrolet has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know
that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition: If you walk away
from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders or
professional thieves-so don’t do it.
When you park your Chevrolet and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you to remove your
key from the ignition and take it with
you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel will
be locked, and
so will your ignition. If
you have an automatic transaxle, taking
your key out also locks your transaxle.
And remember to lock the doors.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Parking at Night: Park in a lighted
spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your
valuables out of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots: If you park in a lot where
someone will be watching your vehicle,
it’s best to lock it up and tale your
keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key? What
if you have to leave
something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.

like your
trunk or glove box.
L
Key Finder
On 2-door models only, pull the driver’s
door handle to light the door lock for a
few seconds. This helps you find the
lock when it’s dark.
Trunk Lock
To unlock the trunk from the outside,
insert the door key and turn it.

Remote Trunk Release (OPTION)
Press the yellow trunk release button
located under the instrument panel on
the driver’s side.
If you have an automatic transaxle, the
transaxle must be in
P (Park).
If you have a manual transaxle,
remember that your trunk can be
opened at any time using the lock
release. Be sure to lock your doors.
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.
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 it will lie flat
when you’re not using it.
Glove Box

To open, pinch the latch release. Use
the door lock key to lock and unlock the
glove box.

With the ignition key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the switch to five
positions:

you can operate your radio and
windshield wipers. Press in the ignition
switch as you turn the top

if you open the driver’s door
when the ignition is
off and the key is in
the ignition.
Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after you start your
engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the

the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use

accessories, and to display some instru-
ment panel warning lights.
