safety belts?
A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in more 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.
0: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
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 kndh).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
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.” 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.

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.
3. Pick up the latch
plate and pull the
belt across
you.
Don’t let it get
twisted.
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 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.
5. To make the lap
part tight, pull
down on the buckle end
of the
belt as you pull
up on the
shoulder belt.

(SIR)
This part explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system, or air
bag.
Your vehicle has an air bag for the driver.
Here are the most important things to
know about the air bag system:
1-17

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
How the Air Bag System Works
1 .. ..
Where is the air bag?
The driver’s air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel.

in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions.
What will you see after an air bag inflates?
After the air bag inflates, it quickly deflates. This occurs so quickly that
some people may not even realize the air bag inflated. Some compone\
nts of
the air bag module in the steering wheel hub will be hot for a short\
time, but
the part
of the bag that comes into contact with you will not be hot to the
touch. There will be some smoke and dust coming from vents in the deflated
air bag. Air bag inflation will not prevent the driver from seeing\
or from
being able to steer the vehicle, nor will it stop people from leaving
the
vehicle.
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.
The service manual for your vehicle covers the need
to replace other
parts.
information about the air bag system. The module records information
about the readiness of the system, when the sensors are activated and
driver’s safety belt usage at deployment.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module, which records
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag system. Improper
service can mean that your air bag system won’t work properly.
See
your dealer for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver’s air bag, it may not work
properly. You may have to replace the air bag module. Do not
open or break the air bag cover.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
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.
Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier in this section.
When the shoulder belt
is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it does, let it
go back all the way and start again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operation
When you press UNLOCK, the driver’s door will unlock automatically. If
you press UNLOCK again within five seconds, all doors will unlock. All
doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The endgate glass will unlock when the REAR button is pressed. Vehicles
with automatic transmissions must have the transmission in PARK
(P).
Vehicles with manual transmission must have the parking brake engaged.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember
to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining transmitters must
also be matched. Once the
new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter will
not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped with
exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only two transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter won’t work at the
normal range in any location.
If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.
