Getting to Know Your Canyon6
Child Restraints (LATCH)
Your vehicle is equipped with LATCH
anchors, and may have top tethers for
use with a LATCH-compatible child
restraint. If your child restraint is not
compatible with the LATCH system, you
may still use it by installing the child
restraint with the safety belt system.
Automatic Door Locks
(if equipped)
For your safety, vehicles equipped with
power door locks and Remote Keyless
Entry are programmed at the factory to
lock all doors automatically. The doors
will lock when all doors are closed, the
ignition is on and the gearshift lever is
moved out of Park on vehicles with an
automatic transmission, or when vehicle
speed is greater than 15 mph on vehi-
cles with a manual transmission. This
feature cannot be disabled.
You can personalize the automatic
unlock features through the Driver
Information Center.
See Sections 2 and 3 of your Owner Manual.
Rear Door Security Locks
(Crew Cab models)
Crew Cab models are equipped with
rear door security locks that allow you to
lock the rear doors so they cannot be
opened by passengers from the inside.
The lock switch (shown above) is locat-
ed on the inside edge of each rear door.
Install a comfort guide on a shoulder
belt
1. Pull the elastic cord out from between
the seatback and the interior body to
remove the guide from its storage
clip.
2. Slide the guide under and past the
safety belt (the elastic cord must be
under the belt).
3. Place the guide over the belt and
insert the two edges of the belt into
the slots of the guide. (Be sure that
the belt is not twisted and that it lies
flat. The elastic cord must be under
the belt and the guide on top.)
4. Buckle, position and release the
safety belt as described in Section
1 of your Owner Manual. Make sure
the belt crosses the passenger’s
shoulder.
Storing the Child Comfort Guide
To remove and store the comfort guides,
squeeze the belt edges together so that
you can take them out of the guides.
Slide the guide back on its storage clip
located between the interior body and
the seatback. Storing the comfort guide
properly will prevent possible rattling.
See Section 1 of your Owner Manual.
Choose a child restraint that is appropri-
ate for the child’s age and size (weight
and height).
See Section 1 of your Owner Manual.

Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Passenger Sensing System located in
the front passenger seat for the front
passenger frontal airbag, and a passen-
ger airbag status indicator located on
the center of the instrument panel.
See Sections 1 and 3 of your Owner Manual.
Note:It is recommended that children
not be placed in the front passenger
seat, even with the Passenger Sensing
System. All children should be secured
in a rear seat, including an infant riding
in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding
in a forward-facing child seat or an older
child riding in a booster seat.
Content Theft-Deterrent System
(if equipped)
If your vehicle has the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system, it also has a con-
tent theft-deterrent alarm system.
The content theft-
deterrent system is
armed when you
lock the doors with
the RKE transmitter
and all the doors
are closed. If the
lock button on the RKE transmitter is
pressed with a door open, the horn will
chirp several times. Close the door to
arm the system. The security light will
flash when the system is armed.
The system will not be armed if the
doors are locked with a key, the manual
door lock or the power door lock switch.
Alarm System
If a locked door is not opened using the
RKE transmitter or by OnStar, the horn
will chirp for several seconds and then
the alarm will sound. The alarm will flash
the front turn signal lamps and sound
the horn for two minutes.
To prevent the alarm from sounding,
unlock the doors using the RKE trans-
mitter. To turn off the alarm, press the
unlock button on the RKE transmitter or
start the engine using the correct key.
PASSlock
®
Your vehicle also is equipped with the
PASSlock theft-deterrent system that
requires the correct key be used to start
the engine. If the correct key is not used
or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered
with, the fuel system is disabled and the
engine will not start.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
