Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag” system.
Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it's just a seat on wheels. Put someone on it.
I 3 The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield ... 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.
Here Are Questions Many People Ask About Safety Belts - and the Answers Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a A: You could be - whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down.
Driver Position This part describes the driver's restraint system. Lap-Shoulder Belt The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here's how to wear it properly. 1. Close and lock the door. 2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see "Seats" in the Index) so you can sit up straight.
The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.
Q: What’s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this way. 1-24.
Q: What’s wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place. 1-25.
Q: What’s wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest. 1-26.
Q: What's wrong with this? I A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. 1-27.
Q: What's wrong with this? I I I 1 I 1 I I 1 I I 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.
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System (SIR) This part explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system, or air bag. Your vehicle has an air bag for the driver.
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See “Air Bag Readiness Light” in the Index for more information.
When should an air bag inflate? The air bag is designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes. The air bag will inflate only if the impact speed is above the system’s designed “threshold level.
0 0 0 The air bag is designed to inflate only once. After it inflates, you’ll need some new parts for your air bag system. If you don’t get them, the air bag system won’t be there to help protect you in another crash. A new system will include the air bag module and possibly other parts.
Adding Equipment to Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle Q: IfI add a push bumper or a bicycle rack to the front of my vehicle, A: As long as the push bumper or bicycle rack is attached to your vehicle will .
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. A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
Center Passenger Position Lap Belt If your vehicle has front and rear bench seats, someone can sit in the center positions. When you sit in a center seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor. To make the belt longer, tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt.
Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender’’ at the end of this section. Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
Lap-Shoulder Belt The positions next to the windows have lap-shoulder belts. Here’s how to wear one properly. 1. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get twisted. 2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster (4-Door Utility Models) Move the shoulder belt adjuster to the height that is right for you. To move it down, push in at the word PRESS and move the height adjuster to the desired position. You can move the adjuster up just by pushing up on the shoulder belt guide.
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.
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.
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 GM dealer to put it in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how to do it. Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat Position You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt.
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.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure. To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger.
4. Run the vehicle’s safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. 5. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
1. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions for the child restraint. 2. Secure the child in the child restraint as the instructions say. 3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or around the restraint.
6. To tighten the belt, feed the lap belt back into the retractor while you push down on the child restraint. 7. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure. To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts properly. Children who aren’t buckled up can be thrown out in a crash. Children who aren’t buckled up can strike other people who are.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’s pelvic bones in a crash. Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it.
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 other loose or damaged restraint system parts. If you see anything that might keep a restraint system from doing its job, have it repaired.
The model number on the replacement belt may be listed on the safety belt you want to replace. Pull the lap belt all the way out to see this label. If there is no model num6er listed on the safety belt, see your dealer to make sure you get the correct part number for the replacement belt.

Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the U.S.) or kilometers (used in Canada).
Tachometer Your tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). I NOTICE: Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red area, your engine or other parts could be damaged. Damage to your engine or vehicle caused by operating the engine in the red area isn’t covered by your vehicle warranty.
Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to RUN or START, a tone will come on for about eight 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 on and stay on for about 20 seconds, then it will flash for about 55 seconds.
You will see this light flash for a few seconds when you turn your ignition to RUN or START. Then the light should go out. This means the system is ready. If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
The brake system warning light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and it will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you have a brake problem.
Water in Fuel Light WATER IN FUEL This red light will come on to warn you if there is water in the diesel fuel system. For more information on how this light works, see “Diesel Fuel Requirements and Fuel System” in the Index.
Glow Plugs Light GLOW PLUGS If you have a diesel engine, it has a special starting system. An orange instrument panel Glow Plugs light shows that the system is functioning properly and tells you when the engine is ready to be started. For more details, see “Starting Your Diesel Engine” in the Index.
Charging System Warning Light The red Charging System Warning light should come on briefly when you turn on the ignition, before starting the engine, as a check to show you it is working. After the engine starts, the light should go out. If it stays on or conles on while you are driving, you may have a problem with your charging system.
NOTICE: If’ you keep driving your vehicle with this light on, after a while the emission controls won’t work as well, your fuel economy won’t be as good, and your engine may not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty.
If your vehicle was first sold, when new, in Canada, you will have this green light on the instrument panel. It will light whenever the Daytime Running Lamps are on. For more details about DRL, see “Headlamps and Vehicle Lighting’’ in this section.
Turn Signal and Lane Change lndicator Lights The green signal indicator will come on whenever you signal a turn or lane change. See “Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator’‘ earlier in this section. Gages Fuel Gage Gasoline Engine Diesel Engine The fuel gage, when the ignition is on, tells you about how much fuel YOLI have left in your tank.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the fuel gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank. The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.
Oil Pressure Gage The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is running. Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in kPa (kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range.
Voltmeter When your engine is not running, but the ignition is in the RUN position, this gage shows your battery’s state of charge in DC volts. When the engine is running, the gage shows the condition of the charging system. Readings between the low and high warning zones indicate the normal operating range.
Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL) Your vehicle has a Center High Mount Stoplamp (CHMSL) located above the tailgate glass or above the rear load doors. I I If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, as in a luggage carrier, care should be taken not to block or damage the CHMSL unit.
To put the shade in the vehicle, first make sure the shade slot in the holder faces rearward with the round surface facing down. Then, hold the shade at an angle and place the shade holder tab into the slot in the passenger’s side trim panel. Move the other end of the shade forward and hold it next the driver’s side trim panel slot.
Convenience Net If you have a convenience net, it is stored in a pouch attached to the spare tire cover on 2-door Utility and Suburban models. On 4-door Utility models, the pouch is placed in the storage compartment at the driver’s side rear of the cargo area.
Luggage Carrier If you have a luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has slats and side rails attached to the roof, and cross rails which can be moved fore and aft in the side rails to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the side rails or side rail supports.
Securely attach the harness to the trailer, then tape or strap it to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be sure you leave it loose enough so the wiring won’t bind or break when turning with the trailer, but not so loose that it drags on the ground. Store the harness in its original position.

Comfort Controls and Audio Systems Section In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort control systems and audio systems offered with your vehicle.
The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the relative temperature of the air flowing into the passenger area of your vehicle. This knob will allow you to adjust the relative air temperature independently of the function knob setting. Move the knob right toward the red area for warmer air.
Before using your vehicle’s air conditioning, open the windows to clear the vehicle of hot air. Using the recirculation function can also help. See “Recirculation Button” in this section for more information. The knob on the left side of the heating system control panel controls the fan speed.
fuel economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest and can be used to keep “unwanted odors” and/or dust from entering the vehicle. When using the air conditioner, turn off recirculation after the vehicle reaches a comfortable interior temperature.
To operate the rear air conditioning system, the front air conditioning system must be on. With the front air conditioning system off, the rear system controls can be used to circulate air in the rear of the vehicle. 0 To operate the rear system using the front control, just turn the knob to the blower position you want.
To increase and decrease the flow of heated air to the rear floor vents, move the switch marked REAR HEAT to the blower speed you want. The knob has three speed positions. To increase the flow of heated air, move the switch toward HIGH. To decrease the flow of heated air, move it toward LOW.
Rear Window Defogger (Option) You can tell if your vehicle has this option by looking at the rear window. If you see lines running across the glass, you have it. These are the wire-like elements which heat your window. NOTICE: Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage the defogger.
You can turn the defogger off at any time by pressing the button again. The defogger will shut itself off after several minutes, so that the glass does not get too hot. If the defogger shuts off, and the window still isn’t clear, turn on the defogger again.
Your vehicle has air vents in the center and on the sides of your instrument panel. You can move the vents from side to side or up and down to direct the flow of air, or close the vents altogether. When you close a vent, it will increase the flow of air coming out of any vents that are open.

NOTICE: Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle - like a tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio - be sure you can add what you want.
You may prefer to use a non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner. This type of cleaner uses a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type of cleaner cassette will not cause an error, but it may not clean the tape player as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
Your Driving and the Road Section 1 Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips on driving. Defensive Driving The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their mistakes. Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable of accidents. Yet they are common. Allow enough following distance.
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. It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example, if the same person drank three double martinis (3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an hour, the person’s BAC would be close to 0.
careful” isn’t the right answer. What if there’s an emergency, a need to take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street? A person with even a moderate BAC might not be able to react quickly enough to avoid the collision. There’s something else about drinking and driving that many people don’t know.
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.
Here’s how anti-lock works. Let’s say the road is wet. You’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam on the brakes.
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 brakes vibrate, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal. On vehicles with four-wheel drive, your anti-lock brakes work at all times - whether you are in two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
Speed limit signs near curves warn that you should adjust your speed. Of course, the posted speeds are based on good weather and road conditions. Under less favorable conditions you’ll want to go slower. If you need to reduce your speed as you approach a curve, do it before you enter the curve, while your front wheels are straight ahead.
Off-Road Recovery You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you’re awaiting an opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces your area of vision, especially if you’re following a larger vehicle. Also, you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops.
The three types of skids correspond to your vehicle’s three control systems. In the braking skid your wheels aren’t rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force. And in the acceleration skid too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin.
Off-Road Driving with Your Four-wheel Drive Vehicle This off-road guide is for vehicles that have four-wheel drive. Also, see “Anti-Lock Brakes” in the Index. If your vehicle doesn’t have four-wheel drive, you shouldn’t drive off-road unless you’re on a level, solid surface.
You’ll find other important information in this manual. See “Vehicle Loading,” “Luggage Carrier’’ and “Tires” in the Index. Traveling to Remote Areas It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your route.
Controlling your vehicle is the key to successful off-road driving. One of the best ways to control your vehicle is to control your speed. Here are some things to keep in mind. At higher speeds: you approach things faster and you have less time to scan the terrain for obstacles.
When you drive over bumps, rocks, or other obstacles, your wheels can leave the ground. If this happens, even with one or two wheels, you can’t control the vehicle as well or at all. Because you will be on an unpaved surface, it’s especially important to avoid sudden acceleration, sudden turns, or sudden braking.
Here are some other things to consider as you approach a hill. Is there a constant incline, or does the hill get sharply steeper in places? 0 Is there good traction on the hillside, or will the surfac.
Q: What should I do if my vehicle stalls, or is about to stall, and I can’t make it up the hill? A: If this happens, there are some things you should do, and there are some things you must not do.
Instead, apply the regular brake to stop the vehicle. Then apply the parking brake. Shift into reverse, release the parking brake, and slowly back straight down.
your brakes and they won’t have to do all the work. Descend slowly, keeping your vehicle under control at all times. 0: Are there some things I should not do when driving down a hill? A: Yes! These are important because if you ignore them you could lose control and have a serious accident.
across an incline, the much more narrow track width (the distance between the left and right wheels) may not prevent the vehicle from tilting and rolling over. Also, driving across an incline puts more weight on the downhill wheels. This could cause a downhill slide or a rollover.
Driving In Mud, Sand, Snow, Or Ice When you drive in mud, snow or sand, your wheels won’t get good traction. You can’t accelerate as quickly, turning is more difficult, and you’ll need longer braking distances. It’s best to use a low gear when you’re in mud - the deeper the mud, the lower the gear.
Driving ln Water Light rain causes no special off-road driving problems. But heavy rain can mean flash flooding, and flood waters demand extreme caution. Find out how deep the water is before you drive through it. If it’s deep enough to cover your wheel hubs, axles, or exhaust pipe, don’t try it - you probably won’t get through.
After Off-Road Driving Remove any biush or debris that has collected on the underbody, chassis or under the hood. These accumulations can be a fire hazard. After operation in mud or sand, have the brake linings cleaned and checked. These substances can cause glazing and uneven braking.
Night Vision No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as we get older these differences increase. A 50-year-old driver may require at least twice as much light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old. What you do in the daytime can also affect your night vision.
less traction. It's always wise to go slower and be cautious if rain starts to fall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can if your tires haven’t much tread or if the pressure in one or more is low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing on the road. If you can see reflections from trees, telephone poles, or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the water’s surface, there could be hydroplaning.
0 0 Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll save time and energy. (See the next part, “Freeway Driving.”) Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because the corner is busy enough to need it.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Drive on to the next exit. The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply. The exit speed is usually posted.
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. Don’t let it happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less than a second, and you could crash and be injured.
0 0 0 0 Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift down to a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your engine and transmission, and you can climb the hill better. Stay in your own lane when driving on two-lane roads in hills or mountains. Don’t swing wide or cut across the center of the road.
Winter Driving Here are some tips for winter driving: 0 Have your vehicle in good shape for winter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. 0 You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your vehicle.
What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because it may offer the least traction of all. You can get “wet ice” when it’s about freezing (32 OF; 0” C) and freezing rain begins to fall.
lf You’re Caught in a Blizzard b:,: ,.... ..... .. .. .rxx* If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a serious situation. You should probably stay with your vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near help and you can hike through the snow.
Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the battery (or batteries) charged.
Power Take-Off (PTO) NOTICE: If you have a PTO that will exceed 35 horsepower installed on your vehicle, it could damage the transfer case or transmission. When having a PTO installed on your vehicle, make sure that it will not exceed 35 horsepower. Before using a power take-off, refer to the manufacturer’s or installer’s instructions.
Using a Transfer Case Mounted Power Take-Off (Manual Transmission) 1. Set the parking brake. 2. Shift the transfer case into NEUTRAL (N). 3. Hold the clutch pedal down. If the vehicle will remain in the same 4. Engage the power take-off. place, shift the transmission into the highest gear.
Loading Your Vehicle I PSI/KPA (COLD) ~ SEE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The CertificatiodTire label is found on the rear edge of the driver's door. The label shows the size of your original tires and the inflation pressures needed to obtain the gross weight capacity of your vehicle.
I NOTICE: Your warranty does not cover parts or components that fail because of overloading. If you put things inside your vehicle-like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else-they go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they’ll keep going.
Towing a Trailer NOTICE: Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by your warranty. To pull a trailer correctly, follow the advice in this part, and see your GM dealer for important information about towing a trailer with your vehicle.
If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer If you do, here are some important points. 0 a 0 0 0 There are many different laws, including speed limit restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure your rig will be legal, not only where you live but also where you’ll be driving.
Three important considerations have to do with weight: Weight of the Trailer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull a trailer are all important.
After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be able to get them right simply by moving some items around in the trailer. Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the limit for cold tires.
Trailer Brakes If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 pounds (450 kg) loaded, then it needs its own brakes - and they must be adequate. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able to install, adjust and maintain them properly.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have extra wiring (included in the optional trailering package). The green arrows on your instrument panel will flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels. 3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the regular brakes until the chocks absorb the load. 4. Re-apply the regular brakes. Then apply your parking brake, and then shift to PARK (P), or REVERSE (R) for a manual transmission.
Maintenance When Trailer Towing Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that are especially important in trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid (don’t overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belt, cooling system, and brake adjustment.

Problems On The Road Section Here you’ll find what to do about some problems that can occur on the road. Hazard Warning Flashers Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They also let police know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
Push the button at the top of the steering column all the way down to make your front and rear turn signals flash on and off. Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what position your key is in, and even if the key isn’t in. To turn off the flashers, push the button until the first click and release.
NOTICE: Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to your vehicle that wouldn’t be covered by your vehicle warranty. Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or pulling it could damage your vehicle, even if you have a manual transmission. And if you have an automatic transmission, it won’t start that way.
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all lights that aren’t needed, and radios. This will avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it could save your radio! I NOTICE: If you leave your radio on, it could be badly damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle with the dead battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one. Dead Battery (+) Good Battery (+) 0 Don't let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery.
Good Battery (-) Heavy Metal Engine Part Attach the cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery, but not near engine parts that move. The electrical connection is just as good there, but the chance of sparks getting back to the battery is much less.
To wing Your Vehicle Try to have your GM dealer or a professional towing service tow your vehicle. They can provide the right equipment and know how to tow it without damage.
Towing From the Front If you have a two-wheel drive vehicle, don’t have your vehicle towed on the rear wheels, unless you must. If the vehicle must be towed on the rear wheels, don’t go more than 35 mph (56 km/h) or farther than 50 miles (80 km) or your transmission will be damaged.
Towing From the Rear Engine Overheating If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine 5-9.
NOTICE: If your engine catches fire because you keep driving with no coolant, your vehicle can be badly damaged. The costly repairs would not be covered by your warranty. If No Steam Is Coming From Your Engine If you get the overheat warning but see or hear no steam, the problem may not be too serious.
If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle right away. If there’s still no sign of steam, push the accelerator until the engine speed is about twice as fast as normal idle speed. Bring the engine speed back to normal idle speed after two or three minutes.
The coolant level should be at or above the COLD mark. If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system. NOTICE: Engine damage from running your engine without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty.
NOTICE: In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the engine, radiator. heater core and other parts. Use the recommended coolant. E When the coolant in the coolant recovery tank is at or above the COLD mark, start your vehicle.
If the overheat warning continues, there's one more thing you can try. You can add the proper coolant mix directly to the radiator, but be sure the cooling system is cool before you do it.
How to Add Coolant to the Radiator 1. You can remove the radiator pressure cap when the cooling system, including the radiator pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly to the left until it first stops. (Don’t press down while turning the pressure cap.
3. Fill the radiator with the proper mix, up to the base of the filler neck. 4. Then fill the coolant recovery tank to the COLD mark. 5. Put the cap back on the coolant recovery tank, but leave the radiator pressure cap off.
I 6. Start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine fan(s). 7. By this time the coolant level inside the radiator filler neck may be lower. If the level is lower, add more of the proper mix through the filler neck until the level reaches the base of the filler neck.
Cooling System - Diesel Engines When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood, here’s what you’ll see: A. Coolant surge tank pressure cap B. Engine fan(s) C. Radiator If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling, don’t do anything else until it cools down.
NOTICE: Engine damage from running your engine without coolant isn’t covered by your warranty. If there seems to be no leak, start the engine again. See if the fan speed increases when idle speed is doubled by pushing the accelerator pedal down. If it doesn’t, your vehicle needs service.
5-20.
NOTICE: In cold weather, water can freeze and crack the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts. So use the recommended coolant. 1. You can remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot.
2. Then keep turning the cap, but now push down as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap. 3. After the engine cools, open the air bleed valve on the thermostat housing. 4. Fill with the proper mix. Add coolant until you see a steady stream of 5. Close the bleed valve.
7. Then fill the coolant surge tank with the proper mix, up to the COLD mark. 8. With the coolant surge tank pressure cap off, start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine fan(s). By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant surge tank may be lower.
h 9. Then replace the pressure cap. Be sure the arrows on the pressure cap line up like this. Engine Fan Noise Your vehicle has a clutched engine cooling fan. When the clutch is engaged, the fan spins faster to provide more air to cool the engine. In most every day driving conditions the fan is spinning slower and the clutch is not fully engaged.
Changing a Flat Tire If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your hazard warning flashers. A. Flat Tire B . Blocked Tire The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and change a tire.

Service & Appearance Care Section Here you will find information about the care of your vehicle. This section 1 begins with service and fuel information, and then it shows how to check ,? important fluid and lubricant levels. There is also technical information about your vehicle, and a part devoted to its appearance care.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list the mileage and the date of any servi-work you perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index. NOTICE: If you try to do your own service work without knowing enough about it, your vehicle could be damaged.
Be sure the posted octane is at least 87. If the octane is less than 87, you may get a heavy knocking noise when you drive. If it’s bad enough, it can damage your engine. If you’re using fuel rated at 87 octane or higher and you still hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service.
You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain deposit control additives and oxygenates, and if they have been reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions.
Canadian Fuels Diesel-powered trucks are now equipped with emission control systems that require the use of diesel fuel with low-sulfur (.05% by weight) content. Both low- and higher-sulfur fuels will be available in Canada. Only low-sulfur diesel fuels are available in the United States.
If this happens, a WATER IN FUEL light will come water must be drained. Your Cfpder can show you hc I WATER IN FUEL If the light comes on at any other time, use this chart. ! on. If it does, the excess 3w to do this. This light also should come on briefly when you start your engine, as a check.
Hesitation or “flat” performance at high speed or during hard acceleration may be an indication of premature fuel filter plugging due to dirty or contaminated fuel. The filter element may need to be changed if this happens. See your dealer for assistance.
NOTICE: If there is water in your diesel fuel and the weather is warm or humid, fungus and bacteria can grow in the fuel. They can damage your fuel system. You’ll need a diesel fuel biocide to sterilize your fuel system. Your dealer can advise you if you ever need this.
3. Close the air bleed valve. 4. Turn the ignition key to START for 10 to 15 seconds at a time until your engine starts. Fuel Filter Replacement (Diesel Engines) If you want to change the fuel filter yourself, here's how to do it: First, drain any water from the filter following the procedure for draining water listed previously.
4. Lift the element out of the filter head. 5. If there is any dirt on the element sealing surface of the filter head, clean it off. 6. Line up the widest slot in the top of the new element with the widest key on then top of the filter head. Push the element in until the mating surfaces touch.
Fuels in Foreign Countries (Gasoline Engines) If you plan on driving in another country outside the U.S. or Canada, unleaded fuel may be hard to find. Do not use leaded gasoline. If you use even one tankful, your emission controls won’t work well or at all.
While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel door. To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise). Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Checking Things Under the Hood Hood Release To open the hood, first pull the handle inside the vehicle. Then go to the front of the vehicle and pull up on the secondary hood release, located just to the passenger side of the center of the grill. Lift the hood.
Before closing the hood, be sure all filler caps are on properly. Pull down the hood and close it firmly. Cleaning Your Diesel Engine NOTICE: If you spray or pour water or any other liquid on your engine when it is warm or hot, or when it is running, you could cause serious damage to it.
Turn off the engine and give the oil a few minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil dipstick might not show the actual level. To Check Engine Oil Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or cloth, then push it back in all the way.
The engine oil filler cap is located on the driver’s side engine valve cover. Just fill it enough to put the level somewhere in the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way back in when you’re through. What Kind of Oil to Use Oils of the proper quality for your vehicle can be identified by looking for the “Starburst” symbol.
You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your vehicle, as shown in the following chart: LIGHT DUTY EMISSIONS - GASOLINE ENGINES RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY GRADE ENGINE OILS FOR BEST FUEL ECONOMY AND COLD STARTING, SELECT THE LOWEST SAE VISCOSITY GRADE 011 FOR THE EXPECTEO TEMPERATURE RANGE.
HEAVY DUTY EMISSIONS - GASOLINE ENGINES - RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY GRADE ENGINE OILS FOR BEST FUEL ECONOMY AND COLD STARTING, SELECT THE LOWEST SAL VISCOSITY GRADE OIL FOR THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE.
NOTICE: Use only engine oil with the American Petroleum Institute Certified For Gasoline Engines “Starburst” symbol. Failure to use the proper oil can result in engine damage not covered by your warranty. GM Goodwrench@ oil (in Canada, GM Engine Oil) meets all the requirements for your vehicle.
What to Do with Used Oil Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer‘? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner.
To Check Engine Oil Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or a cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down. When to Add Oil If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil. But you must use the right kind.
The engine oil filler cap is located on a filler tube at the front of the engine. Just fill it enough to put the level somewhere in the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way back in when you’re through. Whaf Kind of Oil to Use Look for these two things: CF-LC/SH CF-4/SH is the best oil for your vehicle.

Air Cleaner To avoid the possibility of un-filtered air being drawn into the engine, make sure the air cleaner cover is on straight and the wing nuts are properly tightened. If there is an arrow on the air cleaner cover, it should point to the front of the engine.
To remove the air cleaner filter on a gasoline engine or a 6.5 liter naturally aspirated diesel engine, turn the wing nuts to the left. Remove the cover and change the filter. To remove the air cleaner filter on a 6.5 liter turbocharged diesel engine, first remove the rubber elbow.
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transmission fluid level if you have been driving: 0 When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32°C j, At high speed for quite a while. In heavy traffic - especially in hot weather. 0 While pulling a trailer.
Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these steps: 1. Flip the handle up and then pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or paper towel. 2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and then pull it back out again. 3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower level.
How to Add Fluid Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transmission fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid HOT. (A COLD check is used only as a reference.
Then, follow these steps: 1. Remove the filler plug. 2. Check that the lubricant level is up to the bottom of the filler plug hole. 3. If the fluid level is good, install the plug and be sure it is fully seated. If the fluid level is low, add more fluid as described in the next steps.
When to Check and What to Use Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often you should check the fluid level in your clutch master cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See “Owner Checks and Services” and “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
What to Use Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of lubricant to use. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. Four- Wheel Drive Most lubricant checks in this section also apply to four-wheel-drive vehicles. However, they have two additional systems that need lubrication.
How to Check Lubricant P If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole, you’ll need to add some lubricant. If the differential is at operating temperature (warm), add enough lubricant to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.
Specification 6038-M.” Use GM Coolant Supplement (Sealer) with a complete coolant flush and refill. If you use this mixture, you don’t need to add anything else. NOTICE: If you use an improper coolant mix, your engine could overheat and be badly damaged.
Adding Cooranr - Gasoline Engine The coolant recovery tank is located on the passenger side at the rear corner of the engine compartment. To Check Coolant When your engine is cold, the coolant level should be at the COLD mark, or a little higher. When your engine is warm, the level should be up to the HOT mark, or a little higher.
Adding Coolant - Diesel Engine x " The coolant surge tank is located on the passenger side at the rear corner of the engine compartment. To Check Coolant A CAUTION: lbrning the surge tank pressure cap when the engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly.
To Add Coolant If you need more coolant, add the proper mix crt the surge tunk, but only when the engine is cool. If the surge tank is empty, see “Engine Overheating” in the Index for the proper fill procedure. A CAUTION: You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
Surge Tank Pressure Cap - Diesel Engine The surge tank pressure cap must be tightly installed with the arrows on the cap lined up with the top tube of the coolant surge tank. NOTICE: Your surge tank pressure cap is a unique 15 psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap for use with surge tank cooling systems only.
Power Steering Fluid How To Check Power Steering Fluid When the engine compartment is cool, unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.
Windshield Washer Fluid What to Use When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you will be operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing.
Brakes Brake Master Cylinder Your brake master cylinder is here. It is filled with DOT-3 brake fluid. I L m There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master cylinder might go down. The first is that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal brake lining wear.
To Check Brake Fluid You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. Just look at the windows on the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid levels should be above MIN.
Brake Wear Your vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound may come and go or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).
Replacing Brake System Parts The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality GM brake parts in them, as your vehicle does when it is new.
Air Conditioning Every now and then have your dealership check your air conditioning system to be sure it has not lost any cooling ability. If you think the system is not working properly, have your dealership check it out as soon as possible. The air conditioning will not work when the temperature is below 40°F (4°C).
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer storage periods. Bulb Replacement Before you replace any bulbs, be sure that all the lamps are off and the engine isn’t running. Sealed Beam Headlamps 1. Remove the four screws from the headlamp retainer.
Halogen Bulbs I A CAUTION: Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or others could be injured. Take special care when handling and disposing of halogen bulbs. NOTICE: Avoid touching the bulb or letting it come in contact with anything damp.

Engine Control Module System Gasoline Engines This system has an oxygen sensor (OS) that helps keep your engine’s air-fuel mixture at a proper level. Use only unleaded fuel in your vehicle. If you use leaded fuel, you could damage your oxygen sensor (OS) and three-way catalytic converter.
Inflation - lire Pressure The CertificationD’ire label which is on the rear edge of the driver’s door, or on the incomplete vehicle document in the cab, shows the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.
NOTICE: Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t have enough air (underinflation) you can get: Too much flexing 0 Too much heat Tire overloading Bad wear Bad handling 0 Bad fuel economy.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals. FRT FRT When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here.
When it’s Time for New Tires Tread Wear Indicators One way to tell when it’s time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread remaining. You need a new tire if 0 You can see the indicators at three or more places around the tire.
Uniform lire Qualify Grading The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
I NOTICE: The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance to the body and chassis.
Tire Chains NOTICE: If your vehicle has LT265/75R16 size tires, don't use tire chains; they can damage your vehicle. If you have a tire size other than LT26975R16, use tire chains only where legal and only when you must. Use chains that are the proper size for your tires.
Never use these to clean your vehicle: 0 Gasoline Benzene Naphtha 0 Carbon Tetrachloride Acetone Paint Thinner Turpentine 0 Lacquer Thinner 0 Nail Polish Remover They can all be hazardous - some more than others - and they can all damage your vehicle, too.
Using Foam-Type Cleaner on Fabric Vacuum and brush the area to remove any loose dirt. Always clean a whole trim panel or section. Mask surrounding trim along stitch or welt lines. 0 Mix Multi-Purpose Powdered Cleaner following the directions on the Use suds only and apply with a clean sponge.
Fabric Protection Your vehicle has upholstery and carpet that has been treated with Scotchgard TM Fabric Protector, a 3M product. Scotchgard TM protects fabrics by repelling oil and water, which are the carriers of most stains. Even with this protection, you still need to clean your upholstery and carpet often to keep it looking new.
Cleaning Vinyl Use warm water and a clean cloth. Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. You may have to do it more than once. 0 Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if you don’t get them off quickly. Use a clean cloth and GM vinyl/leather cleaner.
Glass Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films. Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be scraped off later.
Washing Your Vehicle The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm or cold water. Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soaps.
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep their luster. Washing with water is all that is usually needed. However, you may use GM Chrome Polish on chrome or stainless steel trim, if necessary. Use special care with aluminum trim.
Finish Damage Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your dealer or other service outlets.
