7. For the first row
rear seat, stow the
safety belt latch
by attaching the clip
on the safety belt
latch to the trim
just inside the
side door.
For the remaining rear seats, stow the safety
belt latch plate on the clip at the window trim.
Replacing the Rear Seats
{CAUTION:
A seat that is not locked into place
properly can move around in a collision
or sudden stop. People in the vehicle
could be injured. Be sure to lock the
seat into place properly when installing it.
{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed,
not properly attached, or twisted will not
provide the protection needed in a crash.
The person wearing the belt could be
seriously injured. After raising the rear
seatback, always check to be sure that
the safety belts are properly routed and
attached, and are not twisted.
1. Position the seat into the open slots in
both rails. Push the seat forward in the
rail, hooking both seat bases onto the
pins inside of the rails.
2. To install the locking pins at the rear of the
seat base, locate the hole in the rail for the
pin. It is found on the inboard side of the seat.
If the vehicle has floor mats, pull the flap
that has been cut into the mat.

Driver Position
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.
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,
seeSafety Belt Extender on page 40.
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. Move the shoulder belt height adjuster to the
height that is right for you. Improper shoulder
belt height adjustment could reduce the
effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash. See
Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment on page 31.
23

To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle.
The belt should go back out of the way.
Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out
of the way. If you slam the door on it, you can
damage both the belt and your vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment
Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt
height adjuster to the height that is right for you.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the
belt is centered on your shoulder. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not falling
off your shoulder. Improper shoulder belt height
adjustment could reduce the effectiveness of the
safety belt in a crash.
To move it down,
pull on the center
adjuster control
labeled PULL.
You can move the
height adjuster up
just by pushing
up on the shoulder
belt guide.
After you move the height adjuster to where you
want it, try to move it down without pushing in
to make sure it has locked into position.
31

{CAUTION:
When an airbag inates, there may be
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 cannot get out of the
vehicle after an airbag inates, then get
fresh air by opening a window or a door.
If you experience breathing problems
following an airbag deployment, you
should seek medical attention.
Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on, and
turn the hazard warning flashers on when the
airbags inflate. You can lock the doors again, turn
the interior lamps off, and turn the hazard warning
flashers off by using the controls for those features.In many crashes severe enough to inflate an airbag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur
from the right front passenger airbag.•Airbags are designed to inflate only once.
After they inflate, you will need some new parts
for the airbag system. If you do not get them,
the airbag system will not be there to help
protect you in another crash. A new system
will include airbag modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for your vehicle
covers the need to replace other parts.
•Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. SeeVehicle Data Recording
and Privacy on page 441andEvent Data
Recorders on page 442.
•Let only qualified technicians work on the
airbag system. Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer/retailer for service.

Section 2 Features and Controls
101

This vehicle has
one double-sided key
for the ignition and door
locks. It will fit with
either side up.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer/retailer
provides the owner with a pair of identical keys
and a bar-coded tag.The bar-coded tag has a code on it that tells your
dealer/retailer or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. Keep this tag in a safe place. If
you lose your keys, you’ll be able to have new
ones made easily using this tag.
Notice:If you ever lock your keys in your
vehicle, you may have to damage the vehicle
to get in. Be sure you have spare keys.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call
GM Roadside Assistance Center. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program on page 430.
103

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
Your vehicle may have this feature.
Q(Lock):Press this
button once to lock all of
the doors. The parking
lamps will flash and
the interior lamps
will turn on briefly. Press
the lock button again
within five seconds and
the parking lamps
will flash and the horn
will chirp briefly.
W(Unlock):Press this button once to unlock the
driver’s door. The parking lamps will flash twice and
the interior lamps will turn on. Press the unlock
button again within five seconds to unlock the
remaining doors. The parking lamps will flash.
L(Panic Alarm):The remote keyless entry
transmitter comes equipped with an instant panic
alarm. To use the alarm, press the horn symbol
while the ignition is turned off. The horn will sound
and both the interior and exterior lamps will
flash for up to thirty seconds. To stop the instant
panic alarm, press the panic button again,
wait for thirty seconds, or start the vehicle.
j(Cargo Door):Press this button to unlock the
cargo doors only.
105

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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/retailer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer/retailer. When the dealer/retailer matches
the replacement transmitter to your vehicle,
any remaining transmitters must also be matched.
Once your dealer/retailer has coded the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
four transmitters matched to it.
Resynchronization
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the
security method used by this system. The
transmitter does not send the same signal twice to
the receiver. The receiver will not respond to a
signal that has been sent previously. This prevents
anyone from recording and playing back the
signal from the transmitter.To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to
your vehicle and press and hold the lock and
unlock buttons on the transmitter at the same time
for seven seconds. The door locks should cycle
to confirm synchronization. If the locks do not
cycle, see your dealer/retailer for service.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use
care not to touch any of the circuitry. Static
from your body transferred to these surfaces
may damage the transmitter.
106

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is
locked, the handle will not open it.
You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if
the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A
child can be overcome by extreme
heat and can suffer permanent injuries
or even death from heat stroke.
Always lock your vehicle whenever
you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle. Locking your
doors can help prevent this from
happening.
