We thank you for choosing a

General Motors product, and we

want to assure you of our continu-

ing commitment to your motoring

pleasure and satisfaction.

This manual should be considered

a permanent part of the vehicle.

Keep it with the vehicle when sold,

to provide the next owner with

important operating, safety and

maintenance information.

Environment-friendly and recycled

materials were used in the devel-

opment and manufacture of your

vehicle. The production methods

used to make your vehicle are also

environment-friendly.

Production waste is recycled, with

some of the waste material recov-

ered for re-use. Water require-

ments have been reduced to help

conserve natural resources.

All information, illustrations and

specifications in this manual are

based on the latest product infor-

mation available at the time of

printing. We reserve the right to

make changes in the product with-

out further notice.

The illustrations throughout the

manual are typical and are not

intended to be exact representa-

tions of any part of your vehicle.

Please be aware that the vehicle

you purchased may not be

equipped with each option that is

explained in this manual.

This Owner’s Manual is supple-

mented by a “Maintenance Sched-

ule and Warranty and Owner

Assistance Information” booklet.

Although we feel that this Owner’s

Manual is complete, in that it

covers the more important vehicle

operating information, it is most

valuable when used with the

Maintenance Schedule.

FOR CONTINUING SATISFAC-

TION AND QUALITY, KEEP YOUR

GM VEHICLE ALL GM. GENERAL

MOTORS PARTS ARE IDENTIFIED

BY ONE OF THESE TRADEMARKS:

Use this manual to learn about the

features of your new vehicle and

how they operate.

The manual is intended to be used

as a reference guide to help you to

quickly identify and use the various

features of your vehicle. For this

reason, the manual is organized

according to feature location as

opposed to feature operation.

It also includes some very impor-

tant safety and maintenance infor-

mation and even deals with some

problems you may have while

driving.

This manual is divided into five

sections:

• Section 1: Instrumentation

and Controls

To get a general understanding of

how the content of this manual is

organized, imagine yourself sitting

in the driver’s seat. Your attention

is first focused on the instrument

panel directly in front of you, then

up and out to the mirrors,

windows and doors and continu-

ing back around the vehicle to the

rear cargo area, then up to the

overhead area and the roof. The

content of this manual is orga-

nized to follow this order. The vast

majority of your vehicle’s instru-

ments and controls are built into

these areas, and are discussed first

in this manual, in Section 1.

• Section 2: Seats and

Restraints

Next, focus on the center of

your vehicle: the seats and

safety belts. Information about

these features and about your

vehicle’s air bag system is cov-

ered in Section 2. Section 2

also includes any information

pertaining to child restraints.

• Section 3: Starting and

Operating Instructions

Once you have been familiar-

ized with your vehicle’s instru-

ments, controls, seats and

restraint systems in Sections 1

and 2, Section 3 outlines your

vehicle’s starting and operating

instructions. This section

includes information about

your keys and keyless entry (if

equipped), about the ignition

and vehicle starting, and about

the transmission, transfer case

(if equipped), parking, traction,

steering, brake, and suspension

systems. It also covers your

vehicle’s speciﬁc loading and

towing capabilities.

• Section 4: Service and

Maintenance

The Service and Maintenance

section:

- contains fuel information

- helps you locate the various

components in your vehicle’s

engine compartment

- offers basic maintenance and

ﬂuid information for the

major, easily-accessible

engine components (e.g., oil,

coolant, transmission ﬂuid,

power steering ﬂuid, brake

ﬂuid, refrigerant, washer

ﬂuid, battery)

Important Safety Precautions

CAUTION AND NOTICE BOXES

CAUTIONS and NOTICES alert you

to conditions that may result in

injury, or that may damage your

vehicle.

CAUTION

Means: This can hurt people.

NOTICE

Means: This can damage your

vehicle.

Seating Position

CAUTION

Do not adjust the driver's seat

when the vehicle is moving.

The seat could jerk and cause a

loss of control.

Sitting in a 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 the

seatback is excessively reclined.

Safety Belts

CAUTION

Always wear your safety belt. Be

sure it is adjusted properly at all

times.

Do not let anyone ride where

they cannot wear a safety belt

properly. If you are in a crash

and you are not wearing a safe-

ty belt, you can be seriously

injured or killed. In the same

crash, you might not be injured

if you are buckled up. Always

fasten your safety belt, and

check that your passengers'

belts are fastened properly, too.

Important Safety Precautions

CAUTION (Continued)

Wearing a safety belt improper-

ly could cause serious injury.

The lap part of the belt should

be worn low and snug on the

hips, just touching the thighs.

In a crash, this applies force to

the strong pelvic bones, and

you would be less likely to slide

under the lap belt. If you slid

under it, the belt would apply

force to your abdomen. This

could cause serious or even fatal

injuries.

CAUTION (Continued)

Wear your belt fitted closely

against the body. Do not wear

your shoulder belt under your

arm. Make sure the belt is not

twisted across your body.

You could be seriously injured if

your belt is buckled in the

wrong place. Always buckle

your belt into the buckle near-

est you.

CAUTION

The shoulder belt should go

over the shoulder and across

the chest. These parts of the

body are best able to take belt

restraining forces.

CAUTION (Continued)

A safety belt must be used by

only one person at a time. Do

not allow two children to share

the same belt.

Accident statistics show that

children are safer if they are

restrained in the rear seat.

Important Safety Precautions

CAUTION (Continued)

A pregnant woman should

wear a lap-shoulder belt, and

the lap portion should be worn

as low as possible throughout

the pregnancy.

Air Bags

CAUTION

Both the safety belt restraint

system and the air bag restraint

system are designed to best

protect adults.

Anyone who is up against, or

very close to, an inflating air

bag could be seriously injured

or killed. CAUTION (Continued)

Be sure that if children are too

small to be well restrained by

the safety belt system, that they

are secured in an appropriate

child restraint.

The presence of an airbag is not

a substitute for a safety belt and

is only effective in conjunction

with the safety belts.

Important Safety Precautions

CAUTION (Continued)

Air bags are designed to be

used with the safety belts. Even

with an air bag, if you are in a

crash and not wearing a safety

belt, your injuries could be

much worse.

If you are too close to an inflat-

ing air bag, it could seriously

injure you. Safety belts help

keep you in position in case an

air bag inflates in a collision.

The driver should sit as far back

as possible while still able to

maintain control of the vehicle.

The path of an inflating air bag

must be kept clear of any

objects at all times.

CAUTION (Continued)

When an air bag inflates, it

leaves dust in the air. This dust

could cause breathing prob-

lems for people with a history of

asthma or other breathing trou-

ble. To avoid this, everyone in

the vehicle should get out as

soon as it is safe to do so. If you

are unable to get out of the

vehicle, then open a window or

door.

Children and Safety Restraints

CAUTION

Never hold a baby in your arms

while riding in a vehicle. During

a crash a baby will become so

heavy you can’t hold it. For

example, in a crash at only

40 km/h, a 5.5 kg baby will

suddenly become a 110 kg

force on your arms. The baby

would be almost impossible to

hold. Secure the baby in an

infant restraint.

. . . 10

Important Safety Precautions

CAUTION (Continued)

A rear-facing child restraint in

the front seat could be pushed

into the seatback by the front

passenger's air bag if it inflates.

A child in a rear-facing child

restraint can be seriously

injured if this happens. In vehi-

cles with the front passenger's

inflatable restraint system,

always secure a rear-facing

child restraint in the rear seat.

CAUTION

Infants who must use rear-

facing child restraints cannot

ride safely in passenger air bag-

equipped vehicles that do not

have rear seats.

If, however, you secure a

forward-facing child restraint in

the front passenger seat, be

sure to move the front passen-

ger seat as far back as it will go.

Leaving Your Vehicle

CAUTION

Avoid leaving your vehicle while

the engine is running.

Do not leave children in the

vehicle with the ignition key.

They could operate the power

windows or other controls and

could even make the vehicle

move. A child or others could

be injured or even killed.
