BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
Keys
Two
separate
keys are provided
for your
car.
Each key has a differ-
ent cross section so that it can be
inserted only in certain locks.
• Key
with
square
head
stamped "A") - for ignition
switch, door locks.
• Key with oval head (stamped
"B") - for all other locks.
The code number of each key is
stamped on the
"knock
out" plug
in the key head. Your Chevrolet
dealer removed these plugs and
placed them with the spare set of
keys in the special key envelope
that was given to you at time of
delivery. For your protection:
• Record the numbers on the key
envelope and discard the key
'plugs.
• Keep the key envelope in a safe
place such as your wallet, Not
In The Car.
In the event the original keys are
lost, duplicates can be made by
your dealer or a locksmith using
the key code information.
Be sure to lock the glove box or
console compartments and remove
the key from the car
whenever
it is
necessary to leave the ignition key
with an attendant.
Door Locks
Front and rear side doors can
3
be locked from the inside by de-
pressing the passenger guard door
lock buttons located on the upper
door panel. All doors can be locked
from the outside by first depressing
the door lock button and depressing
the outside door handle plunger
while closing the door.
The front doors can also be
locked by using the key.
All models have as a standard
safety feature overriding door locks.
When the doors are locked, the
door latch mechanism is inopera-
tive, preventing inadvertent open-
ing of the door by movement of the
inside handle.
REMINDER: While the car is
being driven, avoid hanging objects
on the right hand coat hook in such
a way that you block the driver's
vision
to the right rear quarter.
