The optional stowable seat is a full bench seat and
comes with the convenience center. See ªConvenience

the seatback down until
it is locked into place.
Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is
locked into place.To raise the seatback, do one of the following:
From the rear of the vehicle, pull up on the lever to
release the seatback, then pull the strap, located on

The seatback has a velcro patch to stow the strap
on the rear of the seat when not in use, or
from the passenger's side sliding door, pull up on
the lever to release the seatback, then push up on the
seatback to raise the seat.
Push and pull on the seatback to make sure that it is
locked into the upright position.

is locked.

Q:If I'm a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should I wear safety belts?
A:You may be an excellent driver, but if you're in an
accident
-- even one that isn't your fault -- you
and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good
driver doesn't protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km)
of home. And the greatest number of serious
injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about
safety belts and children. And there are different rules
for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding
in your vehicle, see the part of this manual called
ªChildren.º Follow those rules for everyone's protection.
First, you'll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We'll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver's restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here's how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight.
To see how, see ªSeatsº in the Index.

The right front passenger's side impact air bag is in the
side of the passenger's seatback closest to the door.
CAUTION:
If something is between an occupant and an
air bag, the bag might not inflate properly
or it might force the object into that person.
The path of an inflating air bag must be kept
clear. Don't put anything between an occupant
and an air bag, and don't attach or put anything
on the steering wheel hub or on or near any other
air bag covering and don't let seat covers block
the inflation path of a side impact air bag.

The master key can be
used for the ignition as
well as all door locks, the
liftgate lock and the
storage compartments.
If you need a new key, contact your Chevrolet dealer,
who can obtain the correct key code. In an emergency,
call Chevrolet Roadside Assistance. See ªRoadside
Assistanceº in the Index for more information.Your vehicle has the PASS-Key III vehicle theft
system. The key has a transponder in the key head that
matches a decoder in the vehicle's steering column. If a
replacement key or any additional key is needed, you
must purchase this key from your dealer. The key will
have PK3 stamped on it. Keep the bar code tag that
came with the original keys. Give this tag to your dealer
if you need a new key made.
Any new PASS
-Key III key must be programmed before it
will start your vehicle. See ªPASS
-Key IIIº in the Index for
more information on programming your new key.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have an
extra key.

Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter.
To unlock either front door from the outside with the key,
insert the key and turn it toward the front of the vehicle.
You can lock either front door from the outside with your key
by inserting and turning it toward the rear of the vehicle.
To lock either front door from the inside, push the
manual lever forward.
To unlock either front door from the inside, pull back on
the manual lever.

2-8 Power Door Locks
From the inside, press the front of the power door lock
switch (on either front door) to unlock all doors and the
liftgate. If your vehicle has the optional content
theft
-deterrent system, the power door lock switch will
not unlock the doors until the system is disarmed. See
ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº in the Index for more details.
You can lock all doors and the liftgate from the inside
by pressing the rear of the power lock switch on either
front door. If your vehicle has the optional content
theft
-deterrent system, the power door lock switch may
cause the system to arm. See ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº
in the Index for more details.To unlock any door or the liftgate from the outside with
your key, turn the key toward the front of the vehicle
and release it. This will only unlock that door or the
liftgate. To unlock all the doors and the liftgate at once,
insert the key into the key cylinder, then turn it toward
the front of the vehicle and hold it for one second.
With power door locks, you can lock all the doors from
the outside by inserting the key and turning the key
toward the rear of the vehicle.
Also, when the doors are locked with the power door
locks, the inside as well as the outside door handle
cannot open the doors. This safety feature prevents a
door from being accidentally opened from the inside by
moving the handle.
To override this safety feature, unlock the door you
want to open.
When the liftgate has been unlocked with the power
door locks, you won't need the key to open it. Simply
squeeze the handle located above the license plate. This
is also true if you use the optional remote keyless entry
transmitter. See ªRemote Keyless Entry Systemº later in
this section.

Last Door Closed Locking
The last door closed locking feature makes it easier to
use your power door locks to lock all the doors and the
liftgate when leaving your vehicle.
The first time you attempt to lock the doors using the
power lock switch or the optional remote keyless entry
transmitter, three chimes will signal that last door closed
locking is being used when any door or the liftgate is
open. All doors and the liftgate can be re
-opened for up
to five seconds from the time the last door is closed.
Five seconds after the last door is closed, all the doors
will lock. You can lock the doors immediately using the
power door lock switch or the optional remote keyless
entry transmitter a second time.
If the ignition is in RUN or ACCESSORY, this feature
will not lock the doors.
To turn the last door closed locking feature off or on, see
ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº in
the Index.
Automatic Door Locks
All of the doors will lock automatically when you move
your shift lever out of PARK (P). All doors will unlock
automatically when the ignition is turned off while the
shift lever is in PARK (P).If someone needs to get out while you're not in
PARK (P), have that person use the manual lever or the
power door lock switch. When the door is closed again,
it will not lock automatically. Use the manual lever or
the power door lock switch to lock the door.
To change the way the auto door locks operate, see
ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº in
the Index.
With the automatic door locks feature, you can lock or
unlock the doors at any time, either manually or using
the power door lock switches.
Sliding Door Delayed Locking
If either sliding door is open when you use the power door
locks to lock the vehicle, the sliding door that is open will
not lock. Normally the last door closed locking feature will
be used to lock the sliding door after it has been closed.
When the ignition is on or if the last door closed locking
feature has been overridden or programmed to be off,
the sliding door delayed locking feature will lock your
sliding door for you. Three seconds after either sliding
door is closed, all the doors will lock.
