Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it
properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see
how, see “Seats” in the Index.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt isn’t long enough, see Safety Belt
Extender on page 1-26.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Don’t let it get twisted.
5. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the
shoulder belt.

What Will You See After an Air Bag
Inflates?
After the air bag inflates, it quickly deflates, so quickly
that some people may not even realize the air bag
inflated. Some components of the air bag module will be
hot for a short time. These components include the
steering wheel hub for the driver’s frontal air bag and the
instrument panel for the right front passenger’s frontal
air bag. For vehicles with side impact air bags, the side
of the seatback closest
to the driver’s and/or right
front passenger’s door will be hot. The parts of the bag
that come into contact with you may be warm, but
not
too hot to touch. There will be some smoke and dust
coming from the vents in the deflated air bags. Air
bag inflation doesn’t prevent the driver from seeing or
being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it
stop
people from leaving the vehicle. When an
air bag inflates, there
is dust in the
air. This dust could cause breathing problems
for people with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble.
To avoid this, everyone in
the vehicle should get out as soon as
it is safe
to do
so. If you have breathing problems but
can’t get out of the vehicle after an
air bag
inflates, then get fresh air by opening a
window or
a door. If you experience breathing
problems following an
air bag deployment, you
should seek medical attention.
Your vehicle has a feature that will automatically unlock
the doors and turn the interior lamps on when the air
bags inflate
(if battery power is available). You can lock
the doors again and turn the interior lamps
off by
using the door
lock and interior lamp controls.

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 features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of trouble
getting into your vehicle if you ever lock your keys
inside. You may even have to damage your vehicle
to
get in. So be sure you have spare keys.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call the
GM Roadside Assistance Center. See Roadside
Assistance Program
on page 7-5.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Onstar@ system
with an active subscription and you lock your keys inside
the vehicle, Onstar@ may be able
to send a command
to unlock your vehicle. See
OnStap System on
page
2-35 for more information.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Your keyless entry system operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation
of the device.
2-4

This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or
if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
Check to determine
if battery replacement is
necessary. See "Battery Replacement" under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page
2-5.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
With this system you can lock and unlock your doors
from about
3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
door will unlock
automatically, the parking lamps may flash and the
interior lights will go on.
You can program different feedback settings through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). For more information
see
Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-43.

8 (Lock): Press lock to lock all the doors. Press lock
again within three seconds and the horn may chirp.
2 (Panic): When the button with the horn symbol on
the key transmitter is pressed, the horn will sound
and the headlamps and taillamps will flash for up
to
30 seconds. This can be turned off by pressing the horn
button again, or by waiting for
30 seconds, or by
starting the vehicle.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is
lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go
to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter
to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the
lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location.
If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time
to change the battery.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a RFA
## BATTERY LOW message when the transmitter
battery is
low.
Nofice: When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
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.
V AUTION:
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.

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.
Delayed Locking
This feature makes it easier to use the power door locks
to lock all the doors and the liftgate when leaving your
vehicle.
The first time you attempt
to lock the doors using the
power lock switch or the remote keyless entry
transmitter (with any door or the liftgate open), three
chimes will signal that delayed locking is being used.
All doors and the liftgate can be reopened for up to five
seconds from the time the last door is closed. Five
seconds after the last door is closed, all the doors
will lock.
You can lock the doors immediately by
using the power door lock switch or the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter a second time.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, this feature will not
lock the doors. The lockout prevention feature will
operate instead.
You can enable or disable the delayed locking feature.
If the feature is disabled, the doors will lock immediately
when a power door lock switch or remote keyless
entry transmitter lock button is pressed.
Programming Delayed Locking
When your vehicle was shipped from the factory, the
delayed locking feature was programmed on, or
enabled. The mode
to which your vehicle was
programmed may have been changed since it left the
factory. To turn the delayed locking feature on or
off, do
the following:
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch on the
2. Press the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock

button twice.
If the delayed locking feature was on,
it would now be
off. If the feature was off, it would now be on.

Programmable Automatic Door
Locks
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic IocWunlock
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.
2.
3.
Begin with the ignition off. Then pull the turn
signaVmultifunction lever toward you and hold
it there while you perform the next step.
Turn the key
to RUN and LOCK twice. Then, with the
key in LOCK, release the turn signaVmultifunction
lever. Once you do this, you will hear the lock switch
lock and unlock, the horn will chirp twice, and a
30 second program timer will begin.
You are now ready to program the automatic door
locks. Select one of the three programming options
listed above, and press the lock side of the power
door lock switch to cycle through the lock options.
You will have
30 seconds to begin programming. If
you exceed the
30 second limit, the locks will
automatically lock and unlock and the horn will chirp
twice
to indicate that you have left the program
mode. If this occurs, repeat the procedure beginning
with Step
1 to re-enter the programming mode.
You can exit the program mode any time by turning the
ignition
to RUN. The locks will automatically lock and
unlock and the horn will chirp twice
to indicate that you
are leaving the program mode. If the IocWunlock switches
are not pressed while in the programming mode, the
current auto IocWunlock setting will not be modified.
See your dealer for more information.
