belt GMC ENVOY XUV 2005 Service Manual

If after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the
vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make
sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not pressing the child
restraint into the seat cushion. If this happens, slightly
recline the vehicle’s seatback and adjust the seat
cushion if possible. Also make sure the child restraint is
not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this
happens, adjust the head restraint.
If the on indicator is still lit, secure the child in the child
restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle and
check with your dealer.
The passenger sensing system is designed to enable
(may inate) the right front passenger’s frontal
airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult
size is sitting properly in the right front passenger’s
seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed
the airbag to be enabled, the on indicator will light
and stay lit to remind you that the airbag is active.
For some children who have outgrown child restraints
and for very small adults, the passenger sensing system
may or may not turn off the right front passenger’s
frontal airbag, depending upon the person’s seating
posture and body build. Everyone in your vehicle who
has outgrown child restraints should wear a safety
belt properly — whether or not there is an airbag for
that person.If a person of adult-size is sitting in the right front
passenger’s seat, but the off indicator is lit, it could be
because that person is not sitting properly in the seat.
If this happens, turn the vehicle off and ask the person to
place the seatback in the fully upright position, then sit
upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with the
person’s legs comfortably extended. Restart the vehicle
and have the person remain in this position for about
two minutes. This will allow the system to detect that
person and then enable the passenger’s airbag.

Q:Because I have a disability, I have to get my
vehicle modied. How can I nd out whether
this will affect my airbag system?
A:Changing or moving any parts of the front seats,
safety belts, the airbag sensing and diagnostic
module (located under the driver’s seat), or
the inside rearview mirror can affect the operation
of the airbag system. If you have questions,
call Customer Assistance. The phone numbers
and addresses for Customer Assistance are
in Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction Procedure
in this manual. SeeCustomer Satisfaction
Procedure on page 7-2.
Restraint System Check
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light
and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors
and anchorages are working properly. Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system from doing
its job, have it repaired.
Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt
is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.
Also look for any opened or broken airbag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The airbag system
does not need regular maintenance.)

Replacing Restraint System Parts
After a Crash
{CAUTION:
A crash can damage the restraint systems in
your vehicle. A damaged restraint system
may not properly protect the person using it,
resulting in serious injury or even death in a
crash. To help make sure your restraint
systems are working properly after a crash,
have them inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as possible.
If you have had a crash, do you need new belts or
LATCH system parts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But if the belts were stretched, as they would be if
worn during a more severe crash, then you need
new parts.If the LATCH system was being used during a more
severe crash, you may need new LATCH system parts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision
damage also may mean you will need to have LATCH
system, safety belt or seat parts repaired or replaced.
New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt
or LATCH system was not being used at the time of
the collision.
If an airbag inates, you will need to replace airbag
system parts. See the part on the airbag system earlier
in this section.
If the airbags inate you will also need to replace the
driver and front passenger’s safety belt retractor
assembly. Be sure to do so. Then the new retractor
assembly will be there to help protect you in a collision.
After a crash you may need to replace the driver and
front passenger’s safety belt retractor assemblies, even
if the airbags have not deployed. The driver and
front passenger’s safety belt retractor assemblies
contain the safety belt pretensioners. Have your safety
belt pretensioners checked if your vehicle has been
in a collision, or if your airbag readiness light stays on
after you start your vehicle or while you are driving.
SeeAirbag Readiness Light on page 3-34.

Doors and Locks
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 will not open it. You increase
the chance of being thrown out of the
vehicle in a crash if the doors are not
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 transmitter.
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 door works only that
door’s lock.

Midgate
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the cargo
area covered and the tailgate and the midgate
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You cannot see or
smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the tailgate
and midgate open or if electrical wiring or
other cable connections must pass through
the seal between the body and the midgate:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the
setting on outside air. That will force
outside air into your vehicle. SeeDual
Climate Control System on page 3-20.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-40.
Midgate
Your vehicle is equipped with a midgate and power
midgate glass. The midgate allows you to extend the
length of your vehicle’s cargo area.
Lowering the Midgate
The midgate can be lowered to allow the cargo area of
your vehicle to extend into the cab. The midgate
cannot be lowered when the glass is up.
To lower the midgate, do the following:
1. Fold and tumble the rear seats. The front seats might
have to be moved forward slightly to allow the rear
seats to fold and tumble. SeeRear Seat Operation
on page 1-6for more information.
2.
C(Midgate glass):Press this overhead console
button to lower the midgate glass with the key in the
ignition. The midgate can be lowered without the key
in the ignition if the midgate glass is already down.
{CAUTION:
When the midgate is raised or lowered,
unsecured safety belts can be damaged and
may not restrain you in a crash. To help avoid
personal injury, always secure belts in the
retainers before operating the midgate.
2-13

3. Clip the second row safety belts into the retainers.
They are mounted on the pillars below where the
safety belt passes through the trim panel. This
prevents the safety belt from being tangled in the
midgate when opening or closing the midgate.
4. Press the midgate release button located on the
driver’s side of the midgate while pulling the
release handle.
5. Lower the midgate and secure it in the down
position by engaging the midgate to the oor
support. The latch for the oor support is found on
the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Raising the Midgate
To return the midgate to its normal position, release the
midgate by pulling up on the lever found on the
driver’s side midgate support. Reverse the steps for
lowering the midgate listed previously. The midgate
must be fully latched on both sides before the midgate
glass can be raised.
Tailgate
Your vehicle is equipped with a tailgate which can be
swung out or opened at. It can be locked and unlocked
with the driver or passenger door power lock button
or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The tailgate has
power rear glass. The glass must be fully lowered to
open the tailgate to its at position.
The power roof and tailgate must both be fully closed to
raise the rear glass. If the roof or tailgate are not fully
closed, the words CLOSE THE ROOF or CLOSE
THE TAILGATE will appear on the DIC when you try
to raise the rear glass.
If the tailgate drop/swing, power roof, rear wiper and
rear window defogger functions are inoperative, or
SEE MANUAL– TAILGATE is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, the tailgate window position needs to
be reset. To reset the window position, activate the
tailgate window up switch and continue to hold it
for two seconds after the window is fully closed.
Then activate the tailgate window down switch and
continue to hold it for two seconds after the window is
fully open. If this process does not restore function,
see your dealer for service.

Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
be provided for several seconds to remind people to
buckle their safety belts. The driver safety belt light will
also be provided and stay on for several seconds,
then it will ash for several more. You should buckle
your seat belt.
This chime and light will be
repeated if the driver
remains unbuckled and the
vehicle is in motion.
If the driver’s belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the
light will be provided.
Passenger Safety Belt Reminder
Light
Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or
START, a chime will be provided for several seconds to
remind the front passenger to buckle their safety belt.
This would only occur if the passenger airbag is
enabled. SeePassenger Sensing System on page 1-56
for more information. The passenger safety belt light
will also be provided and stay on for several seconds,
then it will ash for several more. You should have
the passenger buckle their safety belt.
This chime and light will be
repeated if the passenger
remains unbuckled and
the vehicle is in motion.
If the passenger’s safety belt is buckled, neither the
chime nor the light will be provided.
3-33

If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right front passenger’s frontal
airbag. SeePassenger Sensing System on page 1-56
for more on this, including important safety information.
If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be
a problem with the lights or the passenger sensing
system. See your dealer for service.
{CAUTION:
If the off indicator and the airbag readiness light
ever come on together, it means that something
may be wrong with the airbag system. If this
ever happens, have the vehicle serviced
promptly, because an adult-size person sitting
in the right front passenger seat may not have
the protection of the frontal airbag. SeeAirbag
Readiness Light on page 3-34.
Charging System Light
The charging system light
will come on briey when
you turn on the ignition,
but the engine is not
running, as a check to
show you it is working.
It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays
on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have a
problem with the charging system. It could indicate
that you have problems with a generator drive belt, or
another electrical problem. Have it checked right away.
Driving while this light is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on,
be certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the
radio and air conditioner.

The broken tape detection feature of the cassette tape
player may identify the cleaning cassette as a damaged
tape, in error. To prevent the cleaning cassette from
being ejected, use the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the TAPE CD button for ve
seconds. READY will appear on the display and
a cassette symbol will ash for ve seconds.
4. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.

tape detection feature will be active again.
A non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner which uses a
cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape head
can be used. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject on its own. A non-scrubbing action cleaner may not
clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
The use of a non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning
cassette is not recommended.After the player is cleaned, press and hold the EJT
button for ve seconds to reset the CLEAN indicator.
The radio will display CLEANED to show the indicator
was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette tape
is in good condition before the tape player is serviced.
Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct
sunlight and dust. If the surface of a CD is soiled,
dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent
solution and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the side without writing when
handling CDs. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges
or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your CD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CD players is not
advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the
CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
