Passenger Folding Seatback
Your vehicle has a front passenger seat that folds flat.
{WARNING:
If you fold the seatback forward to carry longer
objects, such as skis, be sure any such cargo is
not near an airbag. In a crash, an inflating airbag
might force that object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even death. Secure
objects away from the area in which an airbag
would inflate. For more information, seeWhere
Are the Airbags?
on page 2‑63and Loading the
Vehicle on page 5‑24.
{WARNING:
Things you put on this seatback can strike and
injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash. Remove or secure all items before driving.
To fold the seatback, do the following: 1. Move the front passenger seat rearward to ensure there is enough room to fold the seatback forward.
See Manual Seats
on page 2‑4for more
information. The head restraint may need to be
removed if the seat is not able to be moved fully
rearward. If removing the head restraint, store it so
that it will not move while the vehicle is in motion.
2. Make sure that the seatback is in an upright position. Use the recliner lever located on the
outboard side of the seat to move the seatback
to the upright position.

Rear Seats
Split Folding Rear Seat
The seatbacks can be folded flat.
To lower the rear seatback(s):1. Move the front seat forward and/or put the front seatback in an upright position so it does not
interfere with folding the rear seatback forward.
2. Open the rear door while the vehicle is parked.
3. The rear head restraint may need to be removed if it interferes with the front seat when the front seat
is moved back in place. If removed, store the head
restraint where it cannot move while the vehicle is
in motion.
Notice: Folding a rear seat with the safety belts
still fastened may cause damage to the seat or the
safety belts. Always unbuckle the safety belts and
return them to their normal stowed position before
folding a rear seat.
4. Move the safety belt out of the way before lowering the seatback. Do not let the safety belt get caught
between the seatback and seat cushion as the
seatback is folded.

Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides
This vehicle may have rear shoulder belt comfort guides
for each outboard passenger position in the rear seat.
If not, they are available through your dealer/retailer.
The guides may provide added safety belt comfort for
older children who have outgrown booster seats and for
some adults. When installed and properly adjusted, the
comfort guide positions the shoulder belt away from the
neck and head.Here is how to install a comfort guide to the safety belt:
1. Pull the elastic cord out from between the edge of
the seatback and the interior body to remove the
guide from its storage clip.

The rear window defogger turns off approximately
15 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on
again, the defogger only runs for approximately seven
minutes before turning off.
If the vehicle speed is greater than 80 km/h (50 mph)
and the rear defogger is on, it remains on as long as the
speed is greater than 80 km/h (50 mph). The defogger
can also be turned off by turning off the engine.
For vehicles with the remote start feature, the rear
defogger automatically turns on if it is cold outside.
When the vehicle transitions out of the remote start
mode, the rear defogger turns off. SeeRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 3‑4
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage
the warming grid, and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.Outlet Adjustment
Turn the outlets and move the outlet vanes to change
the direction of the airflow and to open and close the
outlets.
Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may block
the flow of air into the vehicle.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
.Keep the path under the front seats clear of
objects to help circulate the air inside of the vehicle
more effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The filter removes dust and pollen from the air which is
drawn into the vehicle. Airflow reduction is an indication
that the filter needs to be replaced.
The filter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 7‑3for replacement intervals. To find out
what type of filter to use, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 7‑12.
