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. But they are supplemental systems only-so they work with safety.
Seats & Restraint Systems H How To Wear Safety Belts Properly Adults This section 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.
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 “Seats” in the Index) so you can sit up straight.
Seats & Restraint Systems Automatic Lap-Shoulder Belt (CONT.) It’s possible that an automatic belt could keep you from fully opening a door. That can happen if the door was slammed shut very hard. Just close the door all the way, then slowly open it.
Q: What’s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won give nearly as much protection this way. You can be seriously huft, if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash you would move forw&rd too much, which could significantly increase injury.
I Seats & Restraint Systems LIIIIIIIIIII Automatic Lap-Shoulder Belt (CONK) Q: What’s wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body. .22 Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, the) are more likely to be seriously injured if they don’t wear safety belts.
Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so you can sit up straight. Move your seat far enough forward that your feet touch the part of the car that is called the “toeboard” (A). That way you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt in a crash.
Seats & Restraint Systems Center Passenger Position (corn) To make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown until the belt is snug.

Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must be under the belt and the guide on top.
Seats & Restraint Systems Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle.
1 Child Restraints Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint, You may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury.
Seats & Restraint Systems Top Strap 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 it in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how to do it.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed. If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face or neck, put it behind the child restraint.

Larger Children Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’s safety belts. If you have the choice, a child should sit next.to a window so the child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.
Seats & Restraint Systems Larger Children (CONI) 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 that belts provide.
w Checking Your Restraint Systems Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are working properly. Look for any loose parts or damage. If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from doing w 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.

Here you^ find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in varying weather conditions . We’ve also included many other useful tips on driving . Part 4 Your Driving and the Road Defensive Driving .....................................
Your Driving and the w Defensive Driving The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively. Please start with a very important safety device in your Chevrolet: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts’’ in the Index.) Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.
II I According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC by drinking three 4-ounce ( 120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if each had 1 - 1/2 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin or vodka.
I Your Driving and the Road Drunken Driving (CONT.) Research shows that the driving skills of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching 0.05 percent, and that the effects are worse at night. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0.05 percent.
” .I *. I Braking Braking action involves perception time and reaction time, First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal. That’s perception time. Then you have to bring up your foot and do it. That’s reaction time. Average reaction time is about 3/4 of a second.
Your Driving and the Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) (OPTION) (CONT) And this light on the instrument panel will go on when you start your vehicle. When you start your vehicle, or when you begin to drive away, you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise. And you may even notice that your brake pedal moves a little while this is going on.
To Use Anti-Lock Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel the system working, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal. ,Braking in Emergencies At some time, nearly every driver gets into a situation that requires hard braking.
Your Driving and the Road Steering Tips (CONI) What should you do if this ever happens? Ease up on the brake or accelerator pedal, steer the vehicle the way you want it to go, and slow down. Speed limit signs near curves warn that you should adjust your speed.
Off-Road Recovery You may find sometime that your right wheels have.dropped off the edge of a :oad onto the shoulder while you’re hiving. [f the level of the shoulder is only slight13 below the pavement, recovery should be Fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
r Your Driving and the Road 0 Passing (CONT.) If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But take care that someone isn’t trying to pass you as you pull out to pass the slow vehicle. Remember to glance over your shoulder and check the blind spot.
vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues -- such as enough water, ice or packed snow on the road to make a “mirrored surface” -- and slow down when you have any doubt. If you have the anti-lock braking system, remember: It helps avoid only the braking skid.
Your Driving and the Road Night Vision (CONK) who doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlights), slow down a little. Avoid staring directly into the approaching lights. Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle clean -- inside and out.
Driving too fast through large water puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you can’t, try to slow down before you hit them. Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dangerous.
Your Driving and the Road H City Driving One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going.
along the entrance ramp, you should begin to check traffic. Try to determine where you expect to blend with the flow. Try to merge into the gap at close to the prevailing speed. Switch on your turn signal, check your mirrors and glance over your shoulder as often as necessary.
Your Driving and the Road w Highway Hypnosis Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever. There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.
0 Know how to go down hills. The most important thing to know is this: let your engine do some of the slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when you go down a steep or long hill. A CAUTION: If you don’t shift down, your brakes could get so hot that they wouldn’t work well.
Your Driving and the Road Winter Driving (CONT.) Include an ice scraper, a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles.
.
