Page 21 ..or the instrument panel or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s why safety belts make such good sense.
Page 22 Seats and Restraint Systems Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags so people won’t have to wear safety belts? A: Air bags, or Supplemental Inflatable Restraint systems, are in some vehicles today and will be in more of them in the future.
Page 23 And there are different rules for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding in your Chevrolet, see the section after this one, called “Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s protection. First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your vehicle has.
Page 24 Seats and Restraint Systems Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get twisted. 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
Page 25 5. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder belt. ’he lap part of the belt should be worn ow and snug on the hips, just touching he thighs.

Page 27 What’s wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body. To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way. Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of the way.
Page 28 PRINTED IN U.5.A Supplemental lnfhtable Restraint System (Air Bags) This section explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR), or “air bag,” system. Your Chevrolet has an air bag for both the driver and the right-front passenger. SAFETY BELT, EVEN WITH AN BAG.
Page 29 air bag, or, worse, it could cause inju- r y . kir Bag Readiness Light ’here is an air bag readiness light on the xtrument panel, which shows “AIR LAG” on it. The system checks for lectrical malfunctions, and the light tells ou if there is a problem.
Page 30 Seats and Restraint Systems The right-front passenger’s air bag is located in the instrument panel on the passenger’s side. ’ * When is an air bag expected to inflate? The air bag is designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes.
Page 31 How does an air bag restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. The air bag supplements the protection provided by safety belts. Air bags distribute the force of the impact more evenly over the occupant’s upper body, stopping the occupant more gradually.
Page 32: Part 7 Maintenance
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Chevrolet Air bags affect how your Chevrolet should be serviced. 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.
Page 33 Safety Belt Use during Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they don’t wear safety belts. pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible rhroughout the pregnancy.

Page 36 Seats and Restraint Systems To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size.

Page 38 If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be anchored. If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your Chevrolet dealer to put in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how to do it.
Page 39 For cars first sold Canada, child restraints with a top strap must be anchored according to Canadian Law. Your dealer can obtain the hardware kit and install it for you, or you may install it yourself using the instructions provided with the kit.

Page 41 You can get a locking clip where child restraints are sold, or from your Chevrolet dealer (GM Part No. 94844571). The locking clip must be the same as the one shown here.
Page 42 Seats and Restraint Systems Until you have this clip, secure a child restraint only in the rear seat. See the earlier section about securing a child restraint in the rear seat. Once you have the clip, follow these instructions: Because the vehicle has a right-front passenger's air bag, always move the seat as far back as will go before...
Page 43 CAUTION: If a locking clip is not used or is not installed properly, the child restraint may move or tip over when your vehicle turns or stops quickly. The child or others could be injured. When you secure a child restraint with a lap-shoulder belt, always thread both the lap and shoulder belt portions through a locking clip.

Page 45 Q. What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck? A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the shoulder belt still is on the child’s shoulder, so that in a crash the child’s upper body would have the restraint...
Page 46 Seats and Restraint Systems Replacing Safety Belts after a Crash If you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts? After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary. But if the belts were stretched, as they would be if worn during a more severe crash, then you need new belts.

Because an engine coolant heater warms the engine coolant, your vehicle’s heating system can more efficiently provide heat for the passenger area of your vehicle.
