YOUR CAR'S FIRST
FEW HUNDRED MILES OF DRIVING
You can operate your new car from
its very first
mile without adhering
to a formal "break-in" schedule.
However, during the first
few hun-
dred miles of driving you can, by
observing a
few simple precautions,
add to the future performance and
economy of your car.
It is recommended that your
speed during the first 500 miles
be confined: to a maximum of 55
M.P.H
., but do not drive for ex-
tended periods at anyone constant
speed, either fast or slow. Dur-
ing this period, avoid full throttle
starts and, if possible, avoid hard
stops especially during the first 200
-:': 'i
")\,' . --", <"",,,:.~.
miles of operation since brake mis-
use during this period will destroy
much future brake efficiency.
Always drive at moderate speed
until the engine has completely
warmed up.
If you plan to use your new car
for trailer hauling

Occupant Restraint Belts
CHEVELLE AND
MONTE CARLO ONLY
For EI Camino-$ee page 1-9
Lap and shoulder belts provide
added security and comfort for you
and your passengers. Proper use
and care of these .belts will assure
contin~ance of this security.
Front Seat Lap-Shoulder Belt
Combination
• Adjust front seat to satiSfaction
· of. driver and sit erect and well
back in seat.
•: In a single motion, pull the lap-
. shoulder belt webbing across lap
far enough
to permit inserting
metal latch plate end of belt into
the buckle, until a snap
is heard.
If webbing is not pulled out far
enough
to reach buckle, let lap
belt rewind into
it s retractor to
release lock mechanism, so belt
can be pulled out to the proper
length.
• Position "lap" portion of belt
across lap as
LOW ON HIPS as
possible.
To reduce the risk of
sliding under belt during
an ac-
cident, adjust to a SNUG FIT
by pulling belt firmly across lap
in direction
of lap belt retractor
~o it can take up slack. The belt

retractors are designed to auto-
matically take up exce sS webbing.
• The front seat shoulder belts in
this vehicle are equipped with
a "vehicle sensitive. retractor"
which is designed to lock only
during a sudden stop
or impact.
At other times it is designed to
movefreelywith the occupant.
www.PlandeGraissage.org

• For best restraint the slight ten-
sion on the shoulder caused by
the shoulder belt retractor
is de-
sirable.
• A comfort clip is provided for
those who find the shoulder belt
tension a source of discomfort.
If
theshoulder belt tension becomes
uncomfortable, pull down on the
shoulder belt to provide the least
amount of slack necessary to re-
lieve tension (not more than one
inch), then push the comfort clip
snugly against the guide loop.
• To unfasten belts, depress push
button in center of buckle.
1-6
• When no longer in use, front
seat lap-shoulder belts can be
stowed by allowing them
to re-
wind into their retractors. The
comfort clip can be adjusted
when removing belts,
so shoulder
belt slack
will be fully taken up
by retractor.
NOTE: Take. care not to let the
"lap" portion of the belt twist while
it
is being rewound into the retrac-
tor. The bulk of the twisted belt
may cause the retractor
to jam so it
will not rewind further while at the
same time the retractor's locking
mechanism may prevent the belt
from being withdrawn.
www.PlandeGraissage.org

To release a jammed belt, open
the cover on the rear of the retrac-
tor and rotate the key slot while
pulling the beltupward. This should
allow the belt to be untwisted.
If
your retractor does not have such a
key slot or for some reason
the lap
.belt portion remains jammed, or
other parts of the restraint system
do not operate properly,
take the
vehicle to your dealer for service.
Belt Restraint Light/Buzzer

belt restraint prior to turning the
key to.
On or Start, a buzzer is
designed to sound for four to
eight seconds to remind, him to
do
so.
lf the belt restraint system oue-
minder system does not work as de-
scribed, see your dealer for infor-
mation and assistance.
Lap Belts (For Rear Seat
and Center Front Seat
Passengers)
• Seating positions next to side
windows (except station wagon
1-7
third seats) have retractors which
are designed to automatically
take up excess webbing. These
belts should be positioned, se-
cured and released
as described
above under "Lap-Shoulder Belt
Combination." (Retractors are
available
as an option onstation
wagon third seats.)

• When properly worn with a lap
belt, a shoulder belt can provide
additional protection by prevent-
. ing
or minimizing impactwith the
car interior, by restraining for-
ward motion of the upper.torso
in a collision. This is particularly
true in the case of a frontalforce
impact.
• To fasten the detachable shoulder
belt, unstow it and place the knob
on the shoulder belt end into the
keyhole on the lap belt latch
plate. The latch

torso in a collision. This
is
particularly true in the case of
a frontal impact.
• To fasten the shoulder belt, un-
stow it and place the knob on
the shoulder belt end in the key-
hole on the lap belt latch plate.

this attachment can only be com-
1-10
pleted before fastening the lap
belt.) Tilt the knob
as necessary,
to pass it through the slot. Pull
the knob firmly upward to seat
it at the narrow end of the key-
hole, then fasten the lap belt.
Reverse this procedure when re-
moving and restowing the shoul-
der belt.
www.PlandeGraissage.org

• Shoulder belts are lengthened
and shortened
in the same man-
ner
as center seat lap belts.
• Shoulder belt should have suffi-
cient slack to insert a fi st's width
between your chest and the belt.

a clenched
fist between the belt
and your chest with thumb
against chest and back of hand
facing upward.
• The shoulder belts in this vehicle
are equipped with "inertial type"
retractors which are webbingsen-
sitive, designed to lock

the webbing is extended rapidly.
• For best restraint the slight ten-
sion on the shoulder caused by
the shoulder belt retractor is de-
sirable.
• A comfort clip is provided for
those who find the shoulder belt
tension a source of discomfort.
If the shoulder belt tension be-
comes uncomfortable, pull down
on the shoulder belt to provide
the
lea st amount of slack neces-
sary to relieve tension
(not more
than one inch), then push the
cQmfort clip snugly against the
trim panel.
• To unfasten .belts, depress push
button in center of buckle.
• When no longer in use, shoulder
belts can be stowed by allowing
them to rewind into their retrac-
tors. The comfort clip can be ad-
1-11
justed when removing belts, so
shoulder belt slack can be taken
up by retractor.

minder system does not work
as de-
scribed, s
ee your Chevrolet dealer
for information and assistance. .
www.PlandeGraissage.org

Belt Restraint Inspection-
Chevelle, Monte Carlo and
EI Camino
o Periodically inspect belts, buck-
les, adjustable latch plates, re-
tractors, reminder sy stems, guide
loops, clips, and anchors for
proper operation, and also for
damage that could lessen the
effectiveness of the restraint
sys-
tem.
o Keep sharp edges and damaging
objects away from belts, and
other parts of restraint system.
o Replace belts if cut, weakened,
frayed, or subjected
to collision
loads.
o Check that anchor mounting
bolts are tight.
o Have questionable parts re-
placed.
o Keep belts clean and dry.
• Clean only with mild soap solu-
tion and lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since
this may severely weaken belts.
Head Restraints
o Head restraints are designed to
help reduce injuries due to
"whiplash."
• Select one of three positions up,
intermediate or down -which
places
the top of the head re-
1-12
straint clos es t to the top of your
ears.
o Do not use head restraint above
the up detent position.
o Head restraint can be raised by
pulling up until you
feel it click
into the "detent" position.
o To lower, release latch at base
of supporting rod and '
pu sh
down on restraint.
o Do not operate vehicle with head
restraints removed, since occu-
pants lose the protection they
provide.
Child Restraint-
Chevelle and Monte Carlo
Children in automobiles should
be restrained to lessen the risk of
injury in accident
s, or sudden stops.
General Motors dealers offer re-
straint systems designed specifically
www.PlandeGraissage.org

for use with infants and with small
children. The GM "Infant Love
Seat" is designed for babies up to
20 pounds. The GM "Child Love
Seat" (not available in Canada) is
designed for children weighing 20
to 40 pounds, up to 3 feet 4 inches
in height, who are able to sit up
alone.
If a child is traveling in a vehicle
not equipped with a General Mo-
tors infant or child restraint
or
other appropriate infant or child
restraint system, the following pre-
cautions should be taken:
l. Infants unable to.sit up by them-
selves should be restrained by
placing them in a covered,
padded bassinet which is placed
crossways in the vehicle (width-
wise) on the
re:;tr seat. The bas-
sinet should be securely re-
strained with the regul:;tr vehicle
belt restraints.
An alternate
method
is to position the bassi-
net so that it rests against the
back of the front seat, again
crossways in the vehicle.
2. Children able to sit up by them-
selves should be placed on a seat
and restrained with belt restraint.
When children ride in the front
seat, both lap and shoulder belt
should be worn.
If the shoulder
belt causes neck or face irrita-
tion due
t() the child's size, this
may be reduced in some cases by
positioning the child further in-
board. If serious discomfort con-
tinues, the child should be lap
belted in the rear seat. Never al-
low child to stand
or kneel on
any seat.
3. GeneralMotors recommends that
www.PlandeGraissage.org

children be restrained properly
when riding. However, if unusual
conditions prohibit use of re-
straints and require that a child
must stand, he should stand on
the floor directly behind the
front seat. This will help mini-
mize the possibility of injury
from frontal impacts i.fl the event
of such an accident.
Child Restralnt-EICamino
Children in vehicles should be
restrained to lessen the risk of in-
jury in accidents, or sudden stops.
General Motors dealers offer re-
straint systems designed specifically
for use with infants. The GM "In-
fant Love Seat" is designed for
babies up to 20 pound s.
If a child is traveling in a vehicle
not equipped with a General Mo-
tors infant
or child restraint or
other appropriate infant
or child
restraint system, the following pre-
cautions should be taken:
1. Infants unable to sit up by them-
selves should be restrained by
placing them in a covered,
padded bassinet which should be
placed crossways in the vehicle
(widthwise) on the seat. The
bassinet should be securely re-
strained with the regular vehicle
belt
re~traints. (An alt~rnate
method is to position the bassi-
net so that it rests against the
back of the front seat, again
crossways in the vehicle.)
2. Children able to sit up by them-
selves should be placed on a seat
and restrained with a belt re-
straint: Both lap and shoulder
belt should be worn when both
are available.
If the shoulder belt
1-14
causes neck or face irritation due
to the child's size, this may be
reduced in some cases by posi-
tioning the child further inboard.
Never allow a child to stand
or
kneel on the seat.
All Models
In using any infant or child re-
straint sYstem, read and comply
with all installation and usage in-
structions.

Trailer Hauling
,Sincepassenger cars are designed
and intended to be used"primarily
as passenger conveyance~, towing
a trailer will effect handlipg, dura-
bility and economy. M.aximum
,safety and satisfaction ' depends
upon proper use of corte¢t equip-
,ment and avoiding overloads and
, other abusive operation, " '
The maximum loaded trailer
,weight which you can pull with
your car depends on what"special
equipment has been installed on
your car, Chevrolet does not rec-
ommend towing any trailer over
1,000 pounds gross trailer weight
unless the car has the proper equip-
ment, Information on trailer haul-
ing capabilities, special equipment
required, and optional equipment
offer~d by Chevrolet is available
from your Chevrolet Dealer or by
writing Chevrolet Motor Division,
Detroit, Michigan' 48202
(or in
Canada by writing to General
Motors of Canada Limited, Owner
Relations Department, Oshawa,
Ontario
LlJ 5Z6).
To assist in attaining good han-
dling of the car-trailer combination,
it
is important that the trailer
1'-15
tongue load be maintained at ap-
proximately 10% of the loaded
trailer weight. Tongue loads can
be adjusted by proper distribution
of the load in the trailer, and can
be checked
by weighing separately
the loaded trailer and then the
tongue,
Whentowing trailers,tires should
be inflated to the highest inflation
pressures shown on 'the ' placard
affixed to the left front door. The
allowable passenger and cargo
load, also
shown on the same pla-
card, is reduced by an amount
equal to the trailer tongue load on
the trailer hitch;
www.PlandeGraissage.org

Maintenance
More frequent vehicle mainte-
nance is required when using your
car to pull a trailer. Change the:
• Automatic transmission fluid
and filter each 15 ,000 miles,
(see Trailering brochure for addi_
tional information).
• Rear axle fluid each 15,000
miles,
• Engine oil each 90days or 3,000
miles, whichever occurs first,
• Positive crankcase ventilation
valve each 12 months or 15,000
miles, whichever occurs first.
• See index for important informa-
tion on belts, cooling system care
and automatic brake adjustment.
Break-in Schedule
In addition to the new car break-in
in structions in this manual, it is
recommended that your
new car
be operated for 500 miles before
trailer towing.
If it is necessary to
tow during this period, avoid speeds
over 50 MPH and full throttle
starts. The same precautions should
be observed whenever a new en-
gine, transmission or axle is in-
stalled in.your car.
