{CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving.
The sudden movement could startle and
confuse you, or make you push a pedal when
you do not want to. Adjust the driver’s seat
only when the vehicle is not moving.If your vehicle has bucket seats, you can adjust them
forward or rearward with the lever located at the front
of the seat.
To adjust the seat, pull the lever up, slide the seat to
where you want it and release the lever. Then try to
move the seat with your body to make sure the seat
is locked in place.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
don’t flash but just stay on, check the turn signal flasher
and circuit breaker. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers
on page 5-89.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the circuit breaker and for
burned-out bulbs.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high beam or
high to low beam, pull the multifunction lever all the way
toward you, then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this light on the
instrument panel cluster
will also be on.

Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield
wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol
on it.
9(Off):Turn the band on the lever to this symbol to
turn off the windshield wipers.
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to
this symbol. Hold it there until the wipers start, then
let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want
more cycles, hold the band on mist longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain
or snow. Turn the band to select the delay time.
The farther the band is turned upward, the longer the
delay will be. The farther the band is turned downward,
the shorter the delay will be.For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band toward
you to the first solid band below the delay settings.
For high-speed wiping, turn the band farther, to the last
solid band below the delay settings. To stop the
wipers, move the band to off.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do
become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade
inserts. For more information, seeWindshield Wiper
Blade Replacement on page 5-65.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The
windshield wiper motor is protected from overload by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice the wiper will stop until the
motor cools. Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice
may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield before using your
windshield wipers.

Accessory Power Outlets
With accessory power outlets, you can plug in auxiliary
electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or
CB radio.
The accessory power outlet is located on the
passenger’s side of the instrument panel.
To use an outlet, pull the cover down. When not using
it, always cover the outlet with the protective cap.
This circuit is protected by a fuse and has a maximum
current level.Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to your
vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not use equipment
exceeding maximum amperage rating. Check
with your dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation instructions included with
the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty. Do not
hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the power outlets are
designed for accessory power plugs only.

Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have an ashtray and a cigarette
lighter located in the center floor console. See
Instrument Panel Overview on page 3-4. To open the
removable ashtray, flip open the top.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other ammable
items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other
smoking materials could ignite them and possibly
damage your vehicle. Never put ammable items in
the ashtray.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way and let
it go. When it’s ready, it will pop back out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back away
from the heating element when it is hot. Damage
from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating
element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a
cigarette lighter in while it is heating.
Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With these systems, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation for your vehicle.
If your vehicle does not have air conditioning, the
controls will look like this:
Turn the mode knob on the far right clockwise
or counterclockwise to direct the airflow inside of
your vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
9(Off):This setting turns the system off.
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel vents.Vehicles Without Air Conditioning

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you
will want to use the proper service manual. It tells
you much more about how to service your vehicle than
this manual can. To order the proper service manual,
seeService Publications Ordering Information on
page 7-8.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting
to do your own service work, seeServicing Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-59.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. SeePart D: Maintenance Record on page 6-34.{CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts,
and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts, and
other fasteners. English and metric
fasteners can be easily confused. If you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.

Service Parts Identication Label
You will find this label in a location determined by the
body manufacturer. It is very helpful if you ever need to
order parts. On this label, you will find the following:
•VIN
•Model designation
•Paint information
•Production options and special equipment
Be sure that this label is not removed from the vehicle.
Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Don’t add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer rst.
Some electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment
can keep other components from working as
they should.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the
lights to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If
this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker inside the motor and a circuit breaker or fuse in
the fuse block. If the motor overheats, the wipers will
stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
an electrical problem, be sure to get it fixed.
5-88

Fusible Links
A fusible link is a short piece of wire several gauge
sizes smaller than the circuit it protects. It will melt in an
overload situation, opening the circuit.
Your starter and other circuits have these fusible links.
The size is printed on the insulation. If the insulation
is burned beyond recognition, consult your GM dealer
for the proper size. Replace a fusible link with one of the
same size and insulation type. Fusible link insulation
is a special purpose high-temperature material.
The hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit and
starter circuit are protected by a fusible link. Vehicles
with a diesel engine have a fusible link for the intake
heater feed circuit.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens. This
protects the circuit until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
maxi-fuses and fusible links. This greatly reduces the
chance of a fire caused by an electrical problem. There
may be a fuse taped to the wiring harness near the
hydraulic brake booster.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
There are two instrument panel fuse blocks located
behind the instrument panel on the passenger’s side of
the vehicle.
5-89

Be sure to replace fuses with fuses of the same rating. Do not use fuses of higher amperage than those indicated on
the fuse block.
