Manual Front Seat To adjust the seat forward or back, lift the handle. After it's adjusted, release the handle and try to move the seat to be certain it has locked into place. Manual Four-Way Seat Adjuster (OPTION) To tilt the whole seat forward or backward, squeeze the lever. Position the seat where you would like it, then release the lever. 12 Reclining Front Seatback Lift the lever to release the seatback, then tilt the seatback forward or backward, as desired. Release the lever to lock the seatback in place. But don'thave a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving. Head Restraints Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top the restraint is closest to of the topof your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck injuryin a crash. Seatback Latches In 2-door Oldsmobiles,the frontseat folds forwardto let people getinto the back seat. Your seatback will moveback 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 helpfrom you. That's if your vehicleis parked facing down a fairly steep hill. To folda seatback forward, push the seatback toward the rear as you lift this latch. Then the seatback will fold forward. Thelatch must be downfor the seat to work properly. 14 And it explains the Suppleniental of Matable,'Restraint,2 "air bag'' system. .Seats& Restraint Systems .I You never know if you'll be ina crash. Why Safety Belts,Work If you do have a crash, you don't lmow When you ride in or on anything, you if it will be a bad one. go as fast as it goes. A few crashes are mild, and some 1. For example, if the bikeis going 10 crashes can be so serious that even mph (16 km/h), so is the child. bucklkd up a person wouldn't survive. But most crashes are inbetween. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and-sometimes walk away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or lulled. After more than 25 years of safety belts in vehicles,the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter... a lot! 2. When the bike hits the block, it stops. But the child keeps going! 3. Take the simplest vehicle. -Sappose 4. Put someone on it. it's jasta seat- on- wheels. I 5..Get it up to speed. ,Then the stop vehicle. The rider doesn't. stop. 6.

Irm a rea! vehicle, it could be the windshield... ... 8. or the safety belts;: With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle dogs.You get more time tostop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take theforces. That's why safety belts make such good sense. Seats & Restraint Systems have to buckle up toget the most protection. That's true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and other collisions. Q: If I'm a good driver, and I never drive farfrom home, why shouldI wear safety belts? A: You may be an excellent driver,but if you're in an accident - even one that isn't yourfault -you and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver doesn't protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Mostaccidents occur within 25 miles (40 lun) of home. And the greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph (65 lun/h). Safety belts are for everyone. FASTEN )i BELTS *- Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to Run or Start, a chime will come for about eight on seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the driver's safety belt is already buckled. The safety belt light will also come and stay on until on the driver's beltis buckled. 18
