1-4 Memory Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature the controls are
located on the driver's door,
and are used to program and
recall memory settings for
the driver's seating and
outside mirror positions.
Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback recliner
and lumbar) and both of the outside mirrors to the
desired position. Then press and hold button 1
(for driver 1) for three seconds. A chime will sound
to let you know that the position has been stored.A second mirror and seating position can be
programmed by repeating the procedure with a
second driver and pressing button 2 for three seconds.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory position will
be recalled. Each time a memory button is pressed,
a single chime will sound.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver's seat
and mirror positions will be recalled if programmed to
do so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the memory controls.
The seat and mirror positions can also be recalled by
placing the key in the ignition if programmed to do
so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls or
memory buttons.

1-5
Two personalized exit positions can be set by first
recalling the driver's position (by pressing 1 or 2), then
positioning the seat in the desired exit position for that
driver. Then press and hold the button with the exit
symbol for three seconds. A chime will sound to let you
know that the position has been stored. With the vehicle
in PARK (P), the exit position for that driver can be
recalled by pressing the exit button. The mirrors,
power lumbar and recline positions will not be stored
or recalled for the exit positions.
Programming for automatic seat and mirror movement
can be done through the Driver Information Center
(DIC). You can choose to either select or not select
automatic seat and mirror movement by using the
remote keyless entry transmitter, by placing your
key in the ignition, or when exiting the vehicle. For
programming information, see ªVehicle Programming
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.Heated Front Seats (Option)
Your vehicle may have
heated front seats. The
buttons used to control this
feature are located on the
front door armrests. The
engine must be running
for the heated seat feature
to work.
The horizontal button with the heated seat symbol
is used to control the temperature settings high,
medium and low. Press the button to cycle through the
temperature settings and to turn the heated seat off. An
indicator light will glow beside the temperature selected.
The low setting warms the seatback and cushion until
the seat temperature is near body temperature. The
medium and high settings heat the seatback and seat
cushion to a slightly higher temperature. You will be
able to feel heat in about two minutes.
To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with
the heated seatback symbol. Press the vertical button
again to heat the whole seat.
The feature will shut off automatically when the ignition
is turned off.

1-22
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
To learn how to wear the right front passenger's
safety belt properly, see ªDriver Positionº earlier in
this section.
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same
way as the driver's safety belt
-- except for one thing.
If you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out all
the way, you will engage the child restraint locking
feature. If this happens, just let the belt go back all
the way and start again.
Air Bag Systems
This part explains the frontal and side impact air bag systems.
Your vehicle has four air bags
-- a frontal air bag
for the driver, another frontal air bag for the right front
passenger, a side impact air bag for the driver, and
another side impact air bag for the right front passenger.
Frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk
of injury from the force of an inflating frontal air bag.
But these air bags must inflate very quickly to do their
job and comply with federal regulations.
Here are the most important things to know about the
air bag systems:
CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if
you aren't wearing your safety belt
-- even if you
have air bags. Wearing your safety belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Air
bags are designed to work with safety belts but
don't replace them.
CAUTION: (Continued)

1-31 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your dealer and the service manual
have information about servicing your vehicle and the
air bag systems. To purchase a service manual, see
ªService and Owner Publicationsº in the Index.
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an
air bag can still inflate during improper service.
You can be injured if you are close to an air bag
when it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They
are probably part of the air bag systems. Be sure
to follow proper service procedures, and make
sure the person performing work for you is
qualified to do so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.
Rear Seat Passengers
It's very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear
seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren't safety belted can be thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

Keys
CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or
others could be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate the power windows or other
controls or even make the vehicle move. Don't
leave the keys in a vehicle with children.

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 provides
the owner with a pair of identical keys and a key
code number.
The key code number tells your dealer or a qualified
locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep this number in
a safe place. If you lose your keys, you'll be able to have
new ones made easily using this number. Your selling
dealer should also have this number.NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have an
extra key.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call the
GM Roadside Assistance Center. See ªRoadside
Assistanceº in the Index.

2-6
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 won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.

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.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
You can use the remote keyless entry system.
You can use your key to unlock your door from
the outside.
You can lock or unlock the door from the inside by
sliding the manual lever forward or rearward. When the
door is unlocked, you can see a red area on the lever.
The manual lever on each rear door works only that
door's lock.

2-7
Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located on
the driver's and front
passenger's armrests.
Remove the ignition key and press the lock symbol to
lock all of the doors at once. To unlock the doors, press
the other side of the switch.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic lock/unlock
feature which enables you to program your vehicle's
power door locks. You can program this feature through
the Driver Information Center (DIC), or by the
following method.Programmable Locking Feature
The following is the list of available
programming options:

Mode 1: All doors lock when the transmission is
shifted into gear.

Mode 2: All doors lock when the vehicle speed is
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h).

Mode 3: No automatic door locking.
The automatic door locks were pre
-programmed at the
factory to lock all the doors when the transmission is
shifted into gear. The following instructions detail how
to program your door locks differently than the factory
setting. Choose one of the three programming options
listed above before entering the program mode.
To enter the program mode you need to do
the following:
1. Begin with the ignition off. Then pull the turn
signal/multifunction lever toward you and hold it
there while you perform the next step.
