You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is
moving. The sudden movement could startle and confuse you,
or make you push a pedal when you
don’t want
to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when
the vehicle is not moving.

accident. If the arrows don’t go
on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and check the
fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).

Don’t leave an unsecured child restraint in
your vehicle.
0 When you carry something inside the

it whenever you can.
0 Don’t leave a seat folded down unless you

Payload (Cargo Van Only)
The payload capacity is shown on the Certificatioflire
label. This is the maximum load capacity that your
vehicle can carry. Be sure to include the weight of the people inside as part
of your load.
If you added any
accessories or equipment after your vehicle left the
factory, remember to subtract the weight
of these things
from the payload. You should never exceed the
GVWR
or the GAWR. Your dealer can help you determine
your payload.
Electronic Level Control (Option)
On vehicles equipped with the optional electronic level
control, the rear of the vehicle is automatically kept
level as you load or unload your vehicle. However, you
should still not exceed the
GVWR or the GAM.
You may hear the compressor operating when you load
or unload your vehicle, and periodically as the system
self-adjusts.
This is normal.
The compressor should operate for brief periods of time.
If the sound continues for an extended period of time,
your vehicle needs service. To keep your battery from
being drained, you may want to remove the ELC fuse in
the fuse control panel until you can get your vehicle
serviced (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index)\
.
Using heavier suspension components to get added
durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask
your dealer to help you load your vehicle the right way.

Your vehicle has a remote
positive (+)jump starting
terminal. The terminal is
under a tethered cap at the
front of the underhood fuse
and relay center. Pull up
the
cap to access the remote
positive
(+) terminal.
You should always use the remote positive
(+) terminal
instead of the positive
(+) terminal on your battery. Using
a match near a battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded.
Use a flashlight if
you need more light.
Be sure the battery
has enough water. You don’t
need to add water to the ACDelco Freedom’
battery installed in every new
GM vehicle. But if
a battery has filler caps, be sure the right amount
of fluid is there. If it is low, add water to take
care of that first.
If you don’t, explosive gas could
be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don’t get
it on you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or
on your skin, flush the place with
water and get medical help immediately.
