length GMC ACADIA 2008 Owner's Manual

The manufacturer’s instructions that come with the
booster seat, state the weight and height limitations for
that booster. Use a booster seat with a lap-shoulder
belt until the child passes the below t test:
Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the knees bend
at the seat edge? If yes, continue. If no, return to
the booster seat.
Buckle the lap-shoulder belt. Does the shoulder belt
rest on the shoulder? If yes, continue. If no, try
using the rear safety belt comfort guide. See “Rear
Safety Belt Comfort Guides” underLap-Shoulder
Belt on page 1-30for more information. If the
shoulder belt still does not rest on the shoulder,
then return to the booster seat.
Does the lap belt t low and snug on the hips,
touching the thighs? If yes, continue. If no, return to
the booster seat.
Can proper safety belt t be maintained for the
length of the trip? If yes, continue. If no, return
to the booster seat.
Q:What is the proper way to wear safety belts?
A:An older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can
provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face
or neck. The lap belt should t snugly below the
hips, just touching the top of the thighs. This applies
belt force to the child’s pelvic bones in a crash. It
should never be worn over the abdomen, which
could cause severe or even fatal internal injuries in
a crash.
Also see “Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides” under
Lap-Shoulder Belt on page 1-30.
According to accident statistics, children and infants are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions.
In a crash, children who are not buckled up can strike
other people who are buckled up, or can be thrown
out of the vehicle. Older children need to use safety
belts properly.

2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 73°F (22°C)
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes
for the system to regulate. Use the driver’s or
passenger’s temperature buttons to adjust the
temperature setting as necessary. If you choose
the temperature setting of 60°F (15°C), the system
remains at the maximum cooling setting. If you
choose the temperature setting of 90°F (32°C),
the system remains at the maximum heat setting.
Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool any faster.
Do not cover the solar sensor located on the top of
the instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor
regulates air temperature based on sun load and also
turns on your vehicle’s headlamps. For more information
on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
delays turning on the fan until warm air is available.
The length of delay depends on the engine coolant
temperature. Press the fan switch to override this delay
and change the fan to a selected speed.
O(On/Off):Press this button to turn off the climate
control system. Outside air still enters the vehicle, and
is directed to the oor. This direction can be changed
by pressing the mode button. Recirculation can only
be selected in vent or bi-level mode. The temperature
can also be adjusted using either temperature button.If you adjust the air delivery mode or temperature
settings with the system off, the display comes on
briey to show the settings and then turns off. Press the
on/off button or the up down arrows on the fan switch,
the defrost button, AUTO button, or the air conditioning
button to turn the system on when it is off.

to increase fan speed and the down arrow to decrease
fan speed.
Pressing a fan button while the system is off will turn
the system on. Pressing a fan button while in automatic

setting remains displayed, the word AUTO is no longer
displayed, and the AUTO button indicator light turns
off. The air delivery mode remains in automatic control.

Minimize the length of the le, folder, or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of les and folders,
or playlists could cause the player to be unable
to play up to the maximum number of les, folders,
playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play a large
number of les, folders, playlists or sessions,
minimize the length of the le, folder, or playlist
name. Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it. Trying
to add music to an existing disc could cause the
disc not to function in the player.
You can change playlists by using the
Sc(previous)
and
cT(next) folder buttons, thefknob, or the
SEEK arrows. You can also play an MP3/WMA CD-R
or CD-RW that was recorded using no le folders.
If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more than the maximum
of 50 folders, 15 playlists, and a combined total of
512 folders and les, the player lets you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over
the maximum are not accessible.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has compressed audio les,
the directory displays as the CD label. All les contained
directly under the root directory are accessed prior to any
root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) are always
accessed before root folders or les.
If a disc contains both uncompressed CD audio (.CDA)
and MP3/WMA les, a folder under the root directory
called CD accesses all of the CD audio tracks on the disc.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in
the le structure that contains only folders/subfolders
and no compressed les directly beneath them,
the player advances to the next folder in the le structure
that contains compressed audio les. The empty
folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc contains only
compressed les, the les are located under the root
folder. The next and previous folder function does
not display on a CD-R or CD-RW disc that was recorded
without folders or playlists.
3-105

Create a folder structure that makes it easy to nd
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder
or album should contain 18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
eight subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to reduce
the complexity and confusion in trying to locate
a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .m3u, .wpl or .pls
extension as other le extensions might not work.
Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or
a combination of a large number of les and folders,
or playlists could cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number of les, folders,
playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play a
large number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions,
minimize the length of the le, folder, or playlist
name. Long names also take up more space on
the display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it.
Trying to add music to an existing disc could
cause the disc not to function in the player.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW disc is treated
as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory is displayed as F1 ROOT. All les
contained directly under the root directory are accessed
prior to any root directory folders. However, playlists (Px)
are always accessed before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in
the le structure that contains only folders/subfolders
and no compressed les directly beneath them,
the player advances to the next folder in the le
structure that contains compressed audio les.
The empty folder does not display.
No Folder
When the CD-R or CD-RW disc contains only
compressed les, the les are located under the root
folder. The next and previous folder function does
not function on a CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
without folders or playlists. When displaying the
name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.
