To decrease lumbar support, press the rear of the control. Reclining Front Seatbacks Release the lever to lock the seatback where you want it.
Page 12 CAUTION: in a Sitting reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when you’re reclined like this. The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against your body.
Page 13 Head Restraints Head restraints are fixed on some models and adjustable on others. Slide an adjustable head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
Page 14 Easy Entry Seat (2-Door Models) The right front seat of your vehicle makes it easy in and out of the rear seat. Tilt the right front seatback completely forward and the whole seat will slide forward. Move the seatback to its original position after someone gets into the rear seat area.

Safety Belts: They’re for Everyone This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the Supplemental Intlatable Restraint (SIR), x a i r bag system.
Page 16 Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder Light” in the Index.) In most states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work. You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one.

Page 19 or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That‘s why safety belts make such good sense. 1-12 Here Are Questions Many People Ask About Safety Belts...
Page 20 If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident even one that isn’t your fault your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers.

It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. 1-18 CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury.
Page 26 What’s wrong with this? The belt is twisted across the body. CAUTION: You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly, or ask your dealer to 1-19...
Page 27 To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way. Before you close the door, be sure the belt is out of the way. If you slam the door on it, you can damage both the belt and your vehicle.
Page 28 CAUTION: (Continued) in rollover, rear, side or low-speed frontal crashes. Everyone in your vehicle should wear a safety belt properly whether or not there’s an air bag for that person. CAUTION: Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
Page 29 How the Air Bag System Works Where is the air bag? The driver's air is in the middle of the steering wheel. 1-22 CAUTION: If something is between the driver and the air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person.
Page 30 When should an air bag inflate? An air bag is designed to inflate in a moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crash. The air bag will inflate only if the impact speed above the system’s designed “threshold level.” If your vehicle goes straight into a wall that doesn’t move or deform, the threshold level is about 14 to 18 mph (23 to 29 kmh).
Page 31 What will you see after an air bag inflates? After an air bag inflates, quickly deflates, so quickly that some people may not even realize the air bag inflated. Some components of the air bag module in the steering wheel hub will be hot for a short time. The parts of the bag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch.
Page 32 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle The air bag affects how your vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the air bag system in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want the system to inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your GM dealer and the GM Service Manual have information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag system.

Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear seat.
Page 52 CAUTION: Never do this. Here two children are wearing the same belt. The belt can’t properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. A belt must be used by only one person at a time. What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
Page 53 1 -46 CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt’s force would then be applied right child’s abdomen.

Page 164 Drunken Driving Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a national tragedy. It’s the number one contributor to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims every year. Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a vehicle: Judgment Muscular Coordination Vision...
Page 165 It's the amount of alcohol that counts. For example. if the same person drank three double martinis or 90 of liquor each) within an hour. the person's BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A person who consumes food just before or during drinking w i l l have a somewhat lower BAC level.
Page 166 The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold showers will speed that up. “I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer. What if there’s an emergency, take sudden action, when child darts into the street’?
Page 167 Vehicle Control of You have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator. All three systems have to do their work at the places where the tires meet the road. Sometimes, as when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’s easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires and road can provide.
Page 168 Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking rather than keeping pace with traffic. This mistake. Your brakes may have time to cool between hard stops. Your brakes will wear out much faster if do a lot of heavy braking.
Page 169 Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road You're driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out i n front of you. You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens A computer senses that wheels are slowing of the wheels is about to stop rolling. the computer will separately work the brakes at each front wheel rear wheels.
Page 170 Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease close to the vehicle in stopping distance. you get front of you‘ you won’t have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
Page 171 Suppose you‘re steering through a sharp curve. Then you suddenly accelerate. Both control systems acceleration -- have to do their work where the tires meet the road. Adding the sudden acceleration can demand too much of those places. You can lose control. What should do if this ever happens‘? Ease up on the YOLI...

Page 173 Passing The driver of a vehicle about to pass another on a two-lane highway waits for just the right moment. accelerates, moves around the vehicle ahead. then goes back into the right lane again. simple maneuver? Not necessarily! Passing another vehicle on highway is a potentially dangerous move, since the passing vehicle occupies the same lane as oncoming traffic for several seconds.
Page 174 Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder and lane start your left change signal before moving out the right lane to pass. When you are far enough ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the right lane.
Page 175 If your vehicle starts to slide. ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want the vehicle to go. I f you start steering quickly enough. your vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a second skid if occurs.
Page 176 Off-Road Driving with Your Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicle This off-road guide is for vehicles that have four-wheel drive. Also, see “Anti-Lock Brakes” in the Index. If your vehicle doesn‘t have four-wheel drive, you shouldn‘t drive off-road unless you‘re on a level, solid surface. Off-road driving can be great fun.
Page 177 CAUTION: Cargo on the load floor piled higher than the seatbacks can be thrown forward during a sudden stop. You or your passengers could be injured. Keep cargo below the top of the seatbacks. Unsecured cargo on the load floor can tossed about when driving over rough terrain.
Page 178 Traveling to Remote Areas It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your route. You are much less likely to get bad surprises. Get accurate maps of trails and terrain. Try to learn blocked or closed roads.
Page 179 Scanning the Terrain Off-road driving can take you over mLmy different kinds of terrain. You need to be fatniliar with the terrain and its many different features. Here are some things to consider. Surface Cmditiom. Off-roading can take you over hard-packed dirt, gravel.
Page 180 Driving on Off-Road Hills Off-road driving often takes you up, down or across a hill. Driving safely on hills requires good judgment and an understanding of what your vehicle can and can’t do. There are some hills that simply can’t be driven, no matter how well built the vehicle.
Page 181 Driving Uphill Once you decide you can safely drive up the hill, you need to take some special steps. Use a low gear and get a firm grip steering wheel. Get a smooth start up the hill and try to maintain your speed.
Page 182 What should I do if my vehicle stalls, or is about to stall, and I can’t make it up the hill? If this happens, there are some things you should do. and there are some things you must not do. First, here’s what you should do: Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and keep from rolling backwards.
Page 183 Suppose, after stalling, I try to back down the hill and decide I just can’t do it. What should Set the parking brake, put your transmission in PARK ( P ) (or the manual transmission in FIRST and turn off the engine. Leave the vehicle and go get some help.
Page 184 Driving Downhill When off-roading takes you downhill, you’ll want to consider a number of things: How steep is the downhill? Will I be able to maintain vehicle control? What’s the surface like? Smooth? Rough‘? Slippery‘? Hard-pac ked dirt Gravel? ‘? Are there hidden surface obstacles? Ruts’? Logs? Boulders’? What’s at the bottom of the hill? Is there a hidden...
Page 185 Am I likely to stall when going downhill? It’s much more likely to happen going uphill. But happens going downhill, here’s what to do. Stop your vehicle by applying the regular brakes. Apply the parking brake. Shift to PARK (P) (or to NEUTRAL ( N ) with the nlanual transmission) and, while still brakin,, the engine.
Page 186 What if I’m driving across an incline that’s not some too steep, but I hit loose gravel and start to slide downhill. What should I do? If you feel your vehicle starting to slide side.ways, turn downhill. This should help straighten out the vehicle and prevent the side slipping.
Page 187 Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow or Ice When you drive in mud. snow or sand. your wheels won't get good traction. You can't accelerate as quickly, turning is more difficult. and you'll need longer braking distances. It's best to use a low gear when you're in mud -- the deeper the mud.
Page 188 the water isn’t deep, then drive through it slowly. At fast speeds, water splashes on your ignition system and your vehicle can stall. Stalling can also occur if you your tailpipe under water. And, as long as your tailpipe is under water, you’ll never be able to start your engine.

Page 192 Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires that they can actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, has little or no contact with the road.
Page 193 City Driving 4-32 One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You'll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic sipals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going.
Page 194 Freeway Driving Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. But they have their own special rules. The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep to the right. Drive at the speed most of the other drivers are driving.
Page 195 Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night. When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit, do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up.
Page 196 Highway Hypnosis Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever. There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.
Page 197 Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires. cooling system and transmission. These parts can work hard on mountain roads. Know how to go down hills. The most important thing to know is this: let your engine do some of the slowing down.
Page 198 Winter Driving Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your vehicle in good shape for winter. You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your vehicle. Include an ice scraper, a small brush or broom, of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth and reflective warning triangles.

Page 279 CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid like alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mix will. Your vehicle’s coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant mix. With plain water or the wrong mix, your engine could get too hot but you wouldn’t get the overheat warning.
Page 280 Turning the radiator pressure cap when the engine and'radiator are hot can allow steam and scalding liquids to blow out and burn you badly. With the coolant recovery tank, you will almost never have to add coolant at the radiator. Never turn the radiator pressure cap little when the engine and radiator are hot.
Page 281 Radiator Pressure Cap NOTICE: Your radiator cap a 15 psi (105 kPa) pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap line up with the overflow tube on the radiator filler neck.
Page 282 When to Check Power Steering Fluid It is not necessary to regularly check power steering fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or you hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired.
Page 283 NOTICE: When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer's instructions for adding water. Don't mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid, Water can cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water doesn't clean as well as washer fluid.
Page 284 There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in the reservoir might go down. The first is that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable level during normal brake lining wear. When new linings are put in, the fluid level goes back up.
Page 285 What to Add When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake such as Delco Supreme 1 1 fluid No. 12377967). Use new brake fluid from a sealed container only. Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area around the cap before removing it.
Page 287 Brake Pedal Travel See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble. Brake Adjustment Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear.

Page 296 Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous. Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of too much friction. You could have an air-out and a serious accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index. Underinflated tires pose the same danger overloaded tires.
Page 297 NOTICE: (Continued) your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get the following: Unusual wear Bad handling Rough ride Needless damage from road hazards. When to Check Check your tires once a month or more. Also. check the tire pressure of the spare tire. If you have a compact spare tire.
Page 298 If your vehicle has a compact spare tire, don’t include it in your tire rotation. After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures as shown on the CertificationRire label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
Page 299 When It's Time for New Tires One way to tell when it's time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only /16 inch less of tread remaining. You need a new tire if any of the following statements are true: You can see the indicators at three or more places around the tire.
Page 300 CAUTION: Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while driving. If you mix tires of different sizes or types (radial and bias-belted tires), the vehicle may not handle properly, and you could have a crash. Using tires of different sizes may also cause damage to your vehicle.
Page 301 A, B, C Traction The traction sades, from highest to lowesr. are C, and they represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. tire marked C may have poor traction per-fornmance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
Page 302 Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces. If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts or wheel nuts, replace them only with new equipment parts.
Page 303 Tire Chains NOTICE: If your vehicle has P235/75R15, 31x10.50Rl5LT/C size tires, don’t use tire chains. They can damage your vehicle because there’s not enough clearance. Use another type of traction device only if its manufacturer recommends it for use on your vehicle and tire size combination and road conditions.
Page 304 Appearance Care Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some into flame are toxic. Others can burst match or get them on a hot part of the vehicle. Some are dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed space. When you use anything from a container to clean your vehicle, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions.
