CAUTION:
When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air.
This dust could cause breathing problems for
people with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as it is safe to do so.
If you have breathing problems but can't get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then get
fresh air by opening a window or a door.
Your vehicle has a feature that will automatically unlock
the doors and turn the interior lamps on when the air
bags inflate (if battery power is available). You can lock
the doors again and turn the interior lamps off by using
the door lock and interior lamp controls. The hazard
warning flashers will also come on when the air bags
deploy. If you want to turn them off, press the hazard
warning flasher button twice.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. 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 air bag modules
and possibly other parts. The service manual for your
vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic frontal
sensor, which helps the sensing system distinguish
between a moderate frontal impact and a more
severe frontal impact. Your vehicle is also equipped
with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which
records information about the frontal air bag system.
The module records information about the readiness
of the system, when the system commands air bag
inflation and driver's safety belt usage at deployment
or in a near
-deployment crash. The module also
records speed, engine rpm, brake and throttle data.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air
bag systems. Improper service can mean that an
air bag system won't work properly. See your dealer
for service.

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D): This position is
for normal driving. If you need more power for passing,
and you're:
Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push the
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the
accelerator all the way down.
The transmission will shift down to a lower gear and
have more power.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly, or
if it doesn't seem to shift gears as you accelerate,
something may be wrong with a transmission
system sensor. If you drive very far that way,
your vehicle can be damaged. So if this happens,
have your vehicle serviced right away. Until then,
you can use FOURTH (4) when you are driving
less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (D) for higher speeds.
FOURTH (4): This position is also used for normal
driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel
economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D).
Here are examples for using FOURTH (4) instead of
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D).
When driving on hilly, winding roads.
When going down a steep hill.
THIRD (3): This position gives you more power. You
can use THIRD (3) on hills. It can help control your
speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then
you would also want to use your brakes off and on.
If the shift lever is put into THIRD (3), the transmission
won't shift into THIRD (3) until the vehicle is moving
slowly enough.

To turn the system off, press
the TC (traction control)
button located in the
glove box.
If you press the TC button once, the traction control
system will turn off and the traction control system
warning light will come on. Press the TC button again
to turn the system back on. If you press and hold the
TC button for five seconds, the Stabilitrak system will
turn off. Press the TC button again to turn Stabilitrak
back on.
Stabilitrak - Vehicle Stability
Enhancement System (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a vehicle stability
enhancement system called Stabilitrak. Stabilitrak is an
advanced computer controlled system that assists you
with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving
conditions.Stabilitrak has sensors that detect the direction your
vehicle is going and compares it to the direction that you
are steering the vehicle. Stabilitrak activates when the
computer senses a discrepancy between your intended
path and the direction the vehicle is actually traveling.
To assist you in returning your vehicle to the intended
path, Stabilitrak selectively applies braking pressure at
any one of the vehicle's brakes to help steer the vehicle
in the direction which you are steering.
When the system activates, a STABILITY SYS
ENGAGED message will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center. See ªDriver Information Center
Messagesº in the Index. You may also hear a noise or feel
vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal. Continue to
steer the vehicle in the direction you want it to go.
If there is a problem detected with Stabilitrak, a
SERVICE STABILITY SYS message will be displayed
on the Driver Information Center. See ªDriver
Information Center Messagesº in the Index. When this
message is displayed, the system is not operational.
Driving should be adjusted accordingly.
Stability comes on automatically whenever you start
your vehicle. To help assist you with directional control
of the vehicle, you should always leave the system on.
You can turn Stabilitrak OFF if you ever need to trough
the Traction On/Off button. See ªTraction Control
Systemº in the Index.
