Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides
Rear shoulder belt comfort guides may provide added
safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown
booster seats and for some adults. When installed on
a shoulder belt, the comfort guide positions the belt
away from the neck and head.
There is one guide for each outboard passenger position
in the rear seat. Here is how to install a comfort guide and
use the safety belt:
1. Remove the guide from its storage clip, which
is behind the seatback. Pull the elastic cord out
from between the edge of the seatback and
the interior body.
2. Slide the guide under and past the belt. The
elastic cord must be under the belt. Then, place
the guide over the belt, and insert the two edges
of the belt into the slots of the guide.

4. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as
described inRear Seat Passengers on page 1-26.
Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the
shoulder.
To remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the
belt edges together so that you can take them out of
the guides. Pull the guide upward to expose its storage
clip, and then slide the guide onto the clip. Turn the
guide and clip inward and slide them in between
the seatback and the interior body, leaving only the
loop of the elastic cord exposed.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the driver
and right front passenger. Although you cannot see
them, they are located on the retractor part of the safety
belts. They help the safety belts reduce a person’s
forward movement in a moderate to severe frontal or
near frontal crash.
Pretensioners work only once. If they activate in a
crash, you will need to get new ones, and probably other
new parts for your safety belt system. SeeReplacing
Restraint System Parts After a Crash on page 1-74.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you,
you should use it.
But if a safety belt is not long enough, your retailer
will order you an extender. It is free. When you go in
to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the
extender will be long enough for you. To help avoid
personal injury, do not let someone else use it, and use
it only for the seat it is made to t. The extender has
been designed for adults. Never use it for securing
child seats. To wear it, just attach it to the regular
safety belt. For more information see the instruction
sheet that comes with the extender.

Map Lamps
The lamps are located on the headliner above the
rearview mirror. To turn the lamps on, press the lens.
Press the lens again to turn them off.
Footwell Lamps
If equipped, your vehicle may have two footwell
lamps. These lights are located under the driver and
passenger seats. The switches are located on the
instrument panel under the climate controls.
There are two different colors of light that can be
selected. Press the upper part of the button for
blue light and press the bottom part of the button
for amber light. Each light will illuminate the front
and rear area of the seat.
Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver feature
designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp is left on and the ignition is
turned off, the battery rundown protection system
will automatically turn the lamp off after 20 minutes.
This will avoid draining the battery.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlets can be used to connect
electrical equipment such as a cellular phone or
CB radio.
The accessory power outlets are located on the
instrument panel near the climate controls, on the
rear of the center console, and also inside the console
under the cupholders.
To use the outlets, remove the cover. When not in
use, always cover the outlet with the protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.

Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the vehicle that may block
the ow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear of
objects to help circulate the air inside of your
vehicle more effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air is routed through
a passenger compartment lter. The lter removes
certain particles from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airow, which may occur
more quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the lter
needs to be replaced.The lter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. SeeScheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4for replacement intervals. To nd out
what type of lter to use, seeNormal Maintenance
Replacement Parts on page 6-16.
The passenger compartment air lter can be accessed
from under the hood.
1. Remove the push
pins from the air lter
access panel.
2. Remove the air lter access panel.
