Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Here are the most important things to know about the air
bag system:
-
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if
you aren’t wearing your safety belt -- even if you
have an
air bag. Wearing yourmfety belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance of
hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. The air
bag is only a “supplemental restraint.” That is, it
works with safety belts but doesn’t replace them.
-Air bags are designed to work only in moderate to
severe
crash& where the front of your vehicle hits
something. They aren’t designed to Mate at all in
rollover,
rear, side or low-speed fmntal mashes.
Everyone in
your vehicle, including the driver,
should wear a safety belt properly -- whether or
not there’s an
air bag for that person.
A CAUT’ON:
I
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink
of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating
air bag,
it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you
@ position for an air bag inflation
in a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even-
with an
air bag. The driver should sit as far back
as possible while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
I
A CAUTION:
A
An inflating air bag can seriously injure small
children. Always secure children properly in your
vehicle.
To read how, see the part of this manual
called C4Children” and the caution label on the
right front passenger’s safety belt.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Child Restraints
Be sure the child restraint is designed to be used in a
vehicle.
If it is, it will have a label saying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Then follow the instructions for the restraint. You may
find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a
booklet, or both. These restraints
use the belt system in
your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within
the restraint
to help reduce the chance of personal injury.
The instructions that come with the infant or child
restraint will show
you how to do that.
Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained
in the rear rather than the front seat. We at
General Motors therefore recommend that you put your
child restraint in the rear seat.
Never put a rear-facing
child restraint in the front passenger seat. Here’s why:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured
if the right front passenger’s
air bag inflates. This is because the back of
a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint
in the rear seat.
You may, however, secure
a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front seat. Before you secure
a forward-facing child restraint, always move the
front passenger seat as far back as it will
go. Or,
secure the child restraint
in the rear seat.
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
restraint properly.
Keep
in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move
around
in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in
the vehicle.
Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint
in your vehicle -- even when no child is in it.

The driver’s door will unlock automatically when
UNLOCK is pressed. If UNLOCK is pressed again
within five seconds, the passenger door will also unlock.
All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The hatch will unlock when the button with the trunk
symbol is pressed, as long as the ignition is turned to the
OFF position. If the ignition is on, the trunk button will
only work if the transmission is in PARK
(P) for an
automatic transmission, or if the parking brake is set
on
a manual transmission.
The system will turn
on the interior lamps for about
40 seconds (or until the ignition switch is turned to the
RUN position), when you unlock the doors
or hatch.
The interior lamps will go
off when you lock the doors.
Operating the Remote Lock Control transmitter may
interact with the Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrentlAlarm
System (if
you have this option). See “Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrentlAlarm System” in the Index.
Alarm/Panic Mode
If your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-Deterrent/Alarm System,
you will have a fourth
button on your transmitter. This button is the panic
button.
If you are involved in a panic situation, press this button and
your vehicle’s horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash,
This will draw needed attention to
you and your vehicle. To turn this feature off, either
push the panic button again or turn the ignition to the
RUN position. Note: This feature will
not work if your
ignition
is on or if the transmitter is 30 feet (9 m) or
more away from your vehicle.
Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
If your vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do
the following to determine what’s wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low (If
so, see “Battery
Replacement” in the Index).
2. While close to your vehicle, press the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons
on your transmitter at the same
time and hold for eight seconds. This will attempt to
match your Remote Lock Control transmitter and the
transmitter receiver security
codes.
3. If neither Steps 1 or 2 is successful, your transmitter
may need to be matched to your vehicle. See
“Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle” in
the Index.
