How to Use This Manual Many people read their owner'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 will find that pictures and words work together to explain things. Index A good place to look for what you need is the Index in back of the manual. It is an alphabetical list of what is in the manual, and the page number where you will find it. Litho in U.S.A. Part No. 25755781 A First Edition ii © Copyright General Motors Corporation 06/18/03 All Rights Reserved Safety Warnings and Symbols You will find a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore the warning. In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions. If you don't, you or others could be hurt. You will also find a circle with a slash through it in this book. This safety symbol means "Don't," "Don't do this" or "Don't let this happen." {CAUTION: These mean there is something that could hurt you or other people. iii Vehicle Damage Warnings Also, in this book you will find these notices: Notice: These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle. A notice will 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. But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid the damage. When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in different words. You'll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE. Vehicle Symbols Your vehicle has components and labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols, used on your vehicle, are shown along with the text describing the operation or information relating to a specific component, control, message, gage or indicator. If you need help figuring out a specific name of a component, gage or indicator, reference the following topics: · · · · · · · Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1 Features and Controls in Section 2 Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3 Climate Controls in Section 3 Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators in Section 3 Audio System(s) in Section 3 Engine Compartment Overview in Section 5 iv These are some examples of symbols you may find on your vehicle: v NOTES vi Section 1 Seats and Restraint Systems Top Strap Anchor Location .............................1-34 Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System) ...........................1-34 Securing a Child Restraint Designed for the LATCH System .........................................1-36 Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Seat Position ...................................................1-37 Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position ............................................1-39 Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) ............1-41 Where Are the Air Bags? ...............................1-44 When Should an Air Bag Inflate? ....................1-47 What Makes an Air Bag Inflate? .....................1-47 How Does an Air Bag Restrain? .....................1-48 What Will You See After an Air Bag Inflates? .......1-48 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle .........1-50 Restraint System Check ..................................1-50 Checking Your Restraint Systems ...................1-50 Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash ...................................................1-51 Front Seats ......................................................1-2 Power Seats ..................................................1-2 Power Lumbar ...............................................1-2 Heated Seats .................................................1-3 Reclining Seatbacks ........................................1-3 Safety Belts .....................................................1-5 Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone .................1-5 Questions and Answers About Safety Belts ........1-9 How to Wear Safety Belts Properly .................1-11 Driver Position ..............................................1-11 Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy ..................1-17 Right Front Passenger Position .......................1-18 Rear Seat Passengers ..................................1-18 Safety Belt Pretensioners ...............................1-21 Safety Belt Extender .....................................1-21 Child Restraints .............................................1-22 Older Children ..............................................1-22 Infants and Young Children ............................1-25 Child Restraint Systems .................................1-29 Where to Put the Restraint .............................1-32 Top Strap ....................................................1-32 1-1 Front Seats Power Seats The power seat controls are located on the outboard sides of the front seat cushions. Power Lumbar If your vehicle has this feature, the control is located on the outboard sides of the front seats. Use the power seat controls first to get the proper position, then continue with the lumbar adjustment. · Move the front of the seat control up or down to adjust the front portion of the cushion. · Move the rear of the seat control up or down to adjust the rear portion of the cushion. Press the lumbar control forward to increase support and rearward to decrease support. Press the control up or down to raise or lower the support mechanism. Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as it may during long trips, so should the position of your lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed. · Lift up or push down on the center of the seat control to move the entire seat up or down. · Slide the seat control forward or rearward to move the seat forward or rearward. 1-2 Heated Seats The front seat controls are located in the center console. The rear seat controls are located on the rear doors. Reclining Seatbacks The reclining front seatback controls are located on the outboard side of each front seat. Push the button once for a high setting, twice for a low setting, and a third time to turn off the heated seat. The LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates body temperature. The HI setting heats the seat to a slightly higher temperature. The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is turned on. The heating elements in the seats automatically turn off when the vehicle's ignition is turned off. Only the outboard rear seat positions have heating elements. Press the top of the control forward or rearward to adjust the seatback angle. 1-3 {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 reclined like this. The shoulder belt can't do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt can't do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving. For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly. 1-4 Safety Belts {CAUTION: Safety Belts: They Are 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. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly. {CAUTION: Don't let anyone ride where he or she can't wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash and you're not wearing a safety belt, your injuries can be much worse. You can hit things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be, if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passengers' belts are fastened properly too. Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. See Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 3-41. In most states and all Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here's why: They work. You never know if you'll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don't know if it will be a bad one. 1-5 A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up a person wouldn't survive. But most crashes are in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than 30 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter... a lot! 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. 1-6 Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn't stop. 1-7 The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... or the instrument panel... 1-8 Questions and Answers About Safety Belts Q: Won't I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident if I'm wearing a safety belt? 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. And your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted. 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. That's why safety belts make such good sense. 1-9 Q: If my vehicle has air bags, why should I have to wear safety belts? Q: If I'm a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in most of them in the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts ­ not instead of them. Every air bag system ever offered for sale has required the use of safety belts. Even if you're in a vehicle that has air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most protection. That's true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and other collisions. A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you're in an accident ­ even one that isn't your fault ­ you and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver doesn't protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph (65 km/h). Safety belts are for everyone. 1-10 How to Wear Safety Belts Properly 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 Older Children on page 1-22 or Infants and Young Children on page 1-25. Follow those rules for everyone's protection. First, you'll want to know which restraint systems your vehicle has. We'll start with the driver position. Driver Position This part describes the driver's restraint system. Lap-Shoulder Belt The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear it properly. 1. Close and lock the door. 2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see how, see "Seats" in the Index. 3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not 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. 1-11 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt Extender on page 1-21. 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. 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 would be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The safety belt locks if there is a sudden stop or crash, or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor. 1-12 Q: What's wrong with this? {CAUTION: You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury. The shoulder belt should fit against your body. A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way. 1-13 Q: What's wrong with this? {CAUTION: You 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 there, not at the pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place. 1-14
