iii How to Use this Manual Many people read their owne r ’ s manual from beginning to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you do this, it will help you learn about the features and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and words work together to explain things quickl y .
iv V ehicle Damage W arnings Also, in this book you will find these notices: NOTICE: These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle. In the notice area, we tell you about something that can damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty , and it could be costly .
v These are some examples of vehicle symbols you may find on your vehicle:.
1- 1-1 Section 1 Seats and Restraint Systems Here you’ll find information about the seats in your vehicle and how to use your safety belts properly .
1-2 Seats and Seat Controls This section tells you about the power seats -- how to adjust them, and also about the reclining front seatbacks, memory seats, lumbar adjustments and heated seats. Power Seats The power seat controls are located on the outboard sides of the front seat cushions.
1-3 Massaging Lumbar (If Equipped) This control is located on the outboard sides of the front seats. W ith the ignition on, briefly press the top of the control where it is marked AUTO to activate the massaging lumbar feature.
1-4 Adaptive Seat Control (Option) The adaptive seat control is located on the outboard side of each front seat. It is marked AUTO. W ith the ignition in ON, first use the power seat control to get the proper position. Then press the top of the control where it is marked AUTO.
1-5 Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel (If Equipped) The controls for these features are located on the driver ’ s door panel, and are used to program and recall memory settings for the driver ’ s seating positions. Use the following steps to program each button: 1.
1-6 T wo personalized exit positions can be set by first recalling the driving position (by pressing 1 or 2), then positioning the steering wheel and seat in the desired exit positions and then pressing and releasing the MEMOR Y SET button and, within five seconds, pressing the EXIT button.
1-7 The HEA T/OFF button controls the temperature settings HI, MED and LO. The other button is to choose BACK ONL Y heating. The LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates body temperature.
1-8 But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving. CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when you’re r eclined like this.
1-9 Head Restraints Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of your head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash. The head restraints tilt forward and rearward also. The rear seat head restraints in your vehicle may be adjustable.
1-10 CAUTION: It is extremely danger ous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas ar e more likely to be seriously injur ed or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts.
1-1 1 Why Safety Belts W ork When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. T ake the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’ s just a seat on wheels.
1-12 Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn’t stop. The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield .
1-13 or the instrument panel ... or the safety belts! W ith safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That’ s why safety belts make such good sense.
1-14 Here Ar e Questions Many People Ask About Safety Belts -- and the Answers Q: W on’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a safety belt? A: Y ou could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down.
1-15 How to W ear Safety Belts Pr operly Adults This part 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. If a child will be riding in your vehicle, see the part of this manual called “Children.
1-16 3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Don’t let it get twisted. The lap - shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly . If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly .
1-17 Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt adjuster to the height that is right for you. T o move it down, press down on the power seat recliner control and move the height adjuster to the desired position. Y ou can move the adjuster up just by pushing up on the power seat recliner control.
1-18 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this way . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury .
1-19 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place. CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be ther e, not at the pelvic bones.
1-20 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury .
1-21 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of the belt to spread impact for ces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer to fix it.
1-22 T o 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 . If you slam the door on it, you can damage both the belt and your vehicle. Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women.
1-23 The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother . When a safety belt is worn properly , it’ s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly .
1-24 Frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of injury from the force of an inflating frontal air bag. But these air bags must inflate very quickly to do their job and comply with federal regulations.
1-25 CAUTION: (Continued) They aren’t designed to inflate at all in r ollover , rear or low - speed fr ontal crashes, or in many side crashes. And, for some unrestrained occupants, frontal air bags may pr ovide less protection in fr ontal crashes than more for ceful air bags have provided in the past.
1-26 CAUTION: Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Air bags plus lap - shoulder belts offer the best protection for adults, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle’ s safety belt system nor its air bag system is designed for them.
1-27 How the Air Bag Systems W ork Where ar e the air bags? The driver ’ s frontal air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger ’ s frontal air bag is in the instrument panel on the passenger ’ s side.
1-28 The driver ’ s side impact air bag is in the side of the driver ’ s seatback closest to the door . The right front passenger ’ s side impact air bag is in the side of the passenger ’ s seatback closest to the door .
1-29 The side impact air bags for the rear seat outboard passenger positions are in the sides of the rear seatback closest to the doors. CAUTION: If something is between an occupant and an air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing sever e injury or even death.
1-30 When should an air bag inflate? The driver ’ s and right front passenger ’ s frontal air bags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near - frontal crashes. But they are designed to inflate only if the impact speed is above the system’ s designed “threshold level.
1-31 In any particular crash, no one can say whether an air bag should have inflated simply because of the damage to a vehicle or because of what the repair costs were. For frontal air bags, inflation is determined by the angle of the impact and how quickly the vehicle slows down in frontal and near - frontal impacts.
1-32 What will you see after an air bag inflates? After an air bag inflates, it quickly deflates, so quickly that some people may not even realize the air bag inflated.
1-33 In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag, windshields are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the right front passenger air bag. Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After an air bag inflates, you’ll need some new parts for your air bag system.
1-34 Servicing Y our Air Bag-Equipped V ehicle Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the air bag systems in several places around your vehicle. Y our dealer and the service manual have information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag systems.
1-35 Lap Belt If your vehicle has a front bench seat, someone can sit in the center position. When you sit in the center front seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor . T o make the belt longer , tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt.
1-36 Rear Seat Passengers It’ s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts. Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle in a crash.
1-37 2. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle it. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
1-38 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.
1-39 Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and Small Adults Rear shoulder belt comfort guides will provide added safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for small adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide better positions the belt away from the neck and head.
1-40 2. Slide the guide under and past the belt. The elastic cord must be under the belt. Then, place the guide over the belt, and insert the two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide. 3. 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.
1-41 4. Buckle, position and release the safety belt as described in “Rear Seat Passenger Positions” earlier in this section. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder . T o remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the belt edges together so that you can take them out of the guides.
1-42 CAUTION: People should never hold a baby in their arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby doesn’t weigh much -- until a crash. During a crash a baby will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it. CAUTION: (Continued) CAUTION: (Continued) For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12 - lb.
1-43 CAUTION: Children who ar e up against, or very close to, any air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Air bags plus lap - shoulder belts offer outstanding protection for adults and older children, but not for young childr en and infants.
1-44 CAUTION: Newborn infants need complete support, including support for the head and neck. This is necessary because a newborn infant’ s neck is weak and its head weighs so much compared with the rest of its body .
1-45 Restraint Systems for Children An infant car bed (A), a special bed made for use in a motor vehicle, is an infant restraint system designed to restrain or position a child on a continuous flat surface. Make sure that the infant’ s head rests toward the center of the vehicle.
1-46 A forward - facing child seat (C - E) provides restraint for the child’ s body with the harness and also sometimes with surfaces such as T - shaped or shelf - like shields. A booster seat (F - G) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle’ s safety belt system.
1-47 Q: How do child restraints work? A: A child restraint system is any device designed for use in a motor vehicle to restrain, seat, or position children. A built - in child restraint system is a permanent part of the motor vehicle. An add - on child restraint system is a portable one, which is purchased by the vehicle’ s owner .
1-48 Where to Put the Restraint Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. General Motors, therefore, recommends that child restrai.
1-49 T op Strap Some child restraints have a top strap, or “top tether .” It can help restrain the child restraint during a collision. For it to work, a top strap must be properly anchored to the vehicle. Some top strap - equipped child restraints are designed for use with or without the top strap being anchored.
1-50 Once you have the top strap anchored, you’ll be ready to secure the child restraint itself. T ighten the top strap when and as the child restraint manufacturer ’ s instructions say . Y our vehicle has top strap anchors already installed for the rear seating positions.
1-51 In order to use the system, you need either a forward - facing child restraint that has attaching points (B) at its base and a top tether anchor (C), or a rear - facing child restraint that has attaching points (B), as shown here. A. V ehicle anchor B.
1-52 CAUTION: If a LA TCH - type child restraint isn’t attached to its anchorage points, the restraint won’t be able to protect a child sitting ther e.
1-53 Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Seat Position If your child restraint is equipped with the LA TCH system, see “Lower Anchorages and T op T ethers for Children (LA TCH)” in the Index. CAUTION: A child in a child restraint in the center fr ont seat can be badly injured or killed by the right fr ont passenger air bag if it inflates.
1-54 1. Put the restraint on the seat. 2. 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 . T ilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed.
1-55 4. T o tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder belt while you push down on the child restraint. If you’re using a forward - facing child restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt.
1-56 Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position If your child restraint is equipped with the LA TCH system, see “Lower Anchorages and T op T ethers for Children (LA TCH)” in the Index. Y our vehicle has a right front passenger air bag.
1-57 4. 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. 5. Pull the rest of the lap belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.
1-58 6. T o tighten the belt, feed the lap belt back into the retractor while you push down on the child restraint. Y ou may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt. 7. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure.
1-59 Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats 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.
1-60 CAUTION: Never do this. Here two childr en are wearing the same belt. The belt can’t properly spr ead the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injur ed. A belt must be used by only one person at a time.
1-61 CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap - shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way , in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt’ s force would then be applied right on the child’ s abdomen.
1-62 Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle’ s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender . It’ s free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear , so the extender will be long enough for you.

4-3 Drunken Driving Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a national tragedy . It’ s the number one contributor to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims every year . Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a vehicle: Judgment Muscular Coordination V ision Attentiveness.
4-4 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 0.12 percent. A person who consumes food just before or during drinking will have a somewhat lower BAC level.
4-5 The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold showers will speed that up. “I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer .
4-6 Control of a V ehicle Y ou have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator .
4-7 A void needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts -- heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking -- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. Y our brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Y our brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking.
4-8 Let’ s say the road is wet and you’re driving safely . Suddenly , an animal jumps out in front of you. Y ou slam on the brakes and continue braking.
4-9 Remember: Anti - lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
4-10 United States Canada This warning light will come on to let you know if there’ s a problem with your traction control system. See “T raction Control System W arning Light” in the Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin.
4-1 1 The traction control system monitors the front brake rotor temperature. If the traction control system comes on while the front brake rotors are hot due to heavy use of braking or previous traction control, the TRACTION SUSPENDED message will be displayed -- but the system won’ t turn off right away .
4-12 What should you do if this ever happens? Ease up on the accelerator pedal, steer the vehicle the way you want it to go, and slow down. If you have Stabilitrak , you may see the ST ABILITY SYS ENGAGED message on the Driver Information Center . See “Stability Sys Engaged Message” in the Index.
