Seat Belts

This sectio n describes how to use

seat belts properly, and some things

not to do.

{Warning

Do not let anyone ride where a

seat belt cannot be worn properly.

In a cr ash, if you or your

passenger(s) are not wearing

seat belts, injuries can b e much

worse th an if you are wearing

seat b elts. You can be seriously

injured or ki lled by hitting things

inside the vehicle harder or by

being ejected from the vehicle. In

addition, anyone who is not

buckled u p can strike other

passengers in the vehicle.

I t is extremely dangerous to ride

in a cargo area, inside or outside

of a vehicle. In a collision,

passengers riding in these areas

are more likely to be seriously

injured or killed. Do not allow

passengers to ride in a ny area of

the vehicle that is not equipped

with seats and seat belts.

Always wear a se at belt, and

Why Seat Belts Work

Seats and Restraints 37

When ridin g in a vehicle, you travel

as fas t as the vehicle does. If the

vehicle stops sudde nly, you keep

going until something stops you.

It could be the wind shield, the

instrument panel, or the seat belts!

When you wear a seat belt, you and

the vehicle slow down together.

There is more time to stop because

you stop over a longer distance and,

when worn properly, your strong est

bones take the forces from the seat

belts. That is why wearing seat belts

make s such good sense.

Questions and Answers About

Seat Belts

Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle

a fter a crash if I am wear ing a

seat belt?

A: You be whether you arecould —

wearing a seat belt or not. Your

chance of being conscious

during and after a crash, so you

can unbuckle and get out, is

much greater if you are belted.

Q: If my vehic le has air bags, wh y

should I have to wear s eat

belts?

A: Airbags are supplemental

systems onl y. They work with

seat belts not instead of them.—

Whether or n ot an airbag is

provided, all occupants still have

to buckle up to get the most

protection.

Also, in nearly all states and in

all Canadian provinces, the law

requires wearing seat belts.

How to Wear Seat Belts

Properly

Follow these rules for everyone's

protection.

There are additional things to know

about seat belts and children,

including smaller children and

infants. If a child will be riding in the

vehicle, see orOlder Children 560

Infants and Young Children 570.

Review and follow the rule s for

ch ildren in addition to the following

rules.

It is very important f or all occupants

to buckle up. Statistics show that

unbelted pe ople are hurt mor e often

in crashes than those who are

wearing seat belts.

There are important things to know

about wearing a seat belt properly.

. Sit up stra ight and always keep

your feet on the floor in front of

you (if possible).

. Always use the correct buckle

for your seatin g position.

. Wear the lap part of the bel t low

and snug on the hips, just

touching th e thighs. In a crash,

38 Seats and Restraints

this applies force to th e strong

pelvic bones and you woul d be

less likely to slide under the lap

belt. If you slid under it, the belt

would apply force o n your

abdomen. This could cause

serious or ev en fatal injur ies.

. Wear the sh oulder bel t ov er the

shoulder and across the chest.

These parts of the body are best

able to take belt restrai ning

forces. The shoulder b elt locks if

th ere is a sudden stop or crash.

{Warning

You can be seriously injured,

or e ven killed, by not wearing

your seat be lt properly.

Never allow the lap or shoulder belt

to become lo ose or twisted.

Never wear the shoulde r belt under

both arms or beh ind yo ur back.

Seats and Restraints 39

Always use the correct buckle for

your seating position.

Never route the lap or shoulder belt

over an armre st.

{Warning

The seat belt can b e pinched if it

is routed under plastic trim on the

s eat, su ch as trim around the rear

seatback foldin g handle or side

airbag. In a crash, pinched seat

belts might not be able to pro vide

adequate protection. Never allow

seat belts to be routed under

plastic trim pi eces.

Lap-Shoulder Belt

All seating positions in the vehicle

have a lap-shoulder belt.

Th e following instructions explain

how to wear a lap-shoulder belt

properly.

1. Ad just the seat, if the seat is

adj ustable, so you can sit up

straight. To see how, see

“ ”Seats in the Index.

2. Pi ck up the latch plate and pull

the b elt acr oss you. Do not let

it get twisted.

The lap-should er belt may lock

if you pull the belt across you

very quickly. If this happens, let

the belt go back slightly to

u nlock i t. Then pull the belt

across you more slowly.

If the sho ulder po rtion of a

passenger b elt is pulled out all

the way, the child restraint

locking feature may b e

engaged. See Child Restraint

Systems 600. If this occurs, let

the belt go back all the way

and start again. If the locking

40 Seats and Restraints

feature stays engaged after

letting the belt go back to

stowed position on the seat,

m ove the seat rearward or

recline the seat until the

shoulder belt retractor lock

releases.

Engaging the child restraint

locking feature in the front

outboard seating position may

affect the p assenger sensing

system. See Passenger

Sensing System 490.

If the webbing locks in the latch

plate before it reaches the

buckle, tilt the latch plate to flat

to unlock.

3. Push the latch plate int o the

buckle until it clicks.

P ull up o n the latch plate to

make sure it is secure. If the

belt is not long enough, see

Seat Belt Extender 420.

Po sition the release button on

the buckle so that the seat belt

could be quickly unbuckled if

necessary.

4. To make the lap par t tight, pull

up on the shoulder belt.

Seats and Restraints 41

To unlatch the belt, push th e button

on the buckle. The belt should

return to its stowed position.

Always stow the seat belt slowly.

If the seat belt webbing returns

quickly to the stow ed position , the

retractor may lock an d cannot be

pulled out. If this happens, pull the

seat belt straight out firmly to unlock

the webbing, and then release it.

If the webbing is still lo cked in the

retractor, see your dealer.

Bef ore a door is closed, be sure the

belt is out of the way. If a door is

slammed against a seat belt,

damage can occur to both the seat

belt and the vehicle.

Seat Belt Pretensioners

This vehicle has seat belt

pretensioners for the f ront o utboard

occupants. Although the seat belt

pretensioners cannot be seen, they

are part of the seat belt assembly.

They can help tighten the seat belts

during the early stages of a

moderate to severe frontal, ne ar

frontal, or rear crash if the threshold

conditi ons for pretensioner

activation are met. Seat belt

pr etens ioners can also help tighten

the seat belts in a side crash or a

rollover event.

Pretensioners work only once. If the

preten sioners activate in a crash,

the pretensioners and probably

other parts of th e vehicle's seat belt

system will need to be replaced.

See Replacing Seat Belt System

Parts after a Crash 430.

Do not sit on th e outboa rd seat belt

while entering or exitin g the v ehicle

or at any time while sitting in the

seat. Sitting on the seat be lt can

damage the webbing and hardware .

Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides

Rear seat belt comf ort guides may

provi de added seat belt comfort for

old er children who have outgrown

booster seats and for some adults.

When installed on a shoulder belt,

the comfort guide position s the

shoulder belt away f rom the neck

and h ead.

Comfort gu ides are available

through you r dealer for the rear

outboar d seating positions.

I nstructions are included with the

guides.

Seat Belt Use During

Pregnancy

Seat belts work for ev eryone,

including pregnan t women. Like all

occupants, they are more likely to

be seriously injured if they do not

wear seat belts.

42 Seats and Restraints

A pregnant woman should wear a

lap-shoulder belt, and the lap

portion should be worn as low as

possible, below the round ing,

throughout the pregnancy.

The best way to protect the fe tus is

to pro tect the mother. When a seat

belt is worn properly, it is more likely

that the fetus will not be hurt in a

crash. For pregnant women, as for

anyone, the key to making seat

belts effective is wearing them

properly.

Seat Belt Extender

If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten

a roun d you, y ou should use it.

But if a seat belt is not lo ng enough,

your dealer will order you an

extender. Whe n 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 u se

it, and use it only for the seat it is

made to fit. The extender has been

designed for ad ults. Never u se it for

securing child restra ints. For more

informatio n on the proper use and fit

of seat belt extenders se e the

instruct ion sh eet that comes with

the e xtend er.

Safety System Check

Periodically check the seat belt

reminder, seat belts, buckle s, latch

p lates, retractors, s houlder belt

height adjusters (if equipped), and

seat belt anchorage s to make sure

they are all in working order. Look

for any other lo ose or damaged seat

belt system par ts that might keep a

seat belt system from performing

properly. See your dealer to have it

repaired. Torn, fraye d, or twist ed

seat belts may not pro tect you in a

crash. Torn or f rayed seat belts can

rip apart under impact forces. If a

belt is to rn or frayed, have it

replaced immediately. If a belt is

twisted, it ma y be p ossible to

untwist by reversing the latch plate

on the webbing. If the twist cannot

be corrected, ask your dealer to

fix it.

Make sure the seat belt remi nder

light is working. See Seat Belt

Reminders 870.

K eep seat belts clean and dry. See

Seat Belt Care 420.

Seat Belt Care

Keep belts clean and dry.

Seat belts should be properly cared

for and maintained.

Seat belt hardware should be kept

dry and free of dust or debris. As

necessary, exterior ha rd surfaces

and seat belt we bbing may be lightly

44 Seats and Restraints

All vehicle airbags have the word

AIRBAG on the trim or on a label

n ear th e deployment o pening.

For frontal airbags, the word

AIRBAG is on th e center of the

steering wheel for the driver and on

the instrument panel for the front

outboard passenger.

For knee airbags, the word AIRBAG

is on the lower part of the

instrument panel.

For seat-mounted side impa ct

airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the

side of the seatback or side of the

seat closest to the door.

For roof-rail airbags, the word

AIRBAG is on the ceiling or trim .

Airbags are designed to supple ment

the protection provided by seat

b elts. Even though today's airbags

are als o designed to help reduce

the risk of injury from the force of an

inflating bag, all airbags must inflate

very quickly to do their job.

Here are the mos t important things

to know about the airbag system:

{Warning

You can be severely injured or

killed in a crash if you are not

wearing your seat belt, even with

airbags. Airb ags are designed to

wo rk with seat belts, not replace

them. Also, airbags ar e not

designed to inflate i n ev ery crash.

In some crashes s eat belts ar e

the only restraint. See When

Should an Airbag Inflate? 460.

Wearing your seat belt during a

cr ash helps reduce your chance

of hitting things inside the vehicle

or being ejected from it. Airbags

are supplemental restraints to“ ”

the seat belts. Everyone in the

vehicle should wear a seat belt

properly, whether or not there is

an airbag for that person .

{Warning

Because airbags inflate with great

force and fa ster tha n the blink of

an eye, anyone who is up

against, or very close to, any

airbag when it inflates can be

se riously injured or killed. Do not

sit unne cessarily close to any

airbag, as you would be if sitting

on the edge of the sea t or leaning

fo rwa rd. Seat belts help keep you

in posit ion before and during a

cra sh. Always wear a seat belt,

even with airbags. The driver

should sit as far back a s possible

w hile still maintaining control o f

t he vehicle. The seat belts and

the front outboard passenger

airb ags are most effective when

you are sitting well b ack and

upright in th e se at with both f eet

on the flo or.

(Continued)

Seats and Restraints 45

Warning (Continued)

Occupants should not lean on or

sleep against the door or side

windows in sea ting positions with

seat-mounted side impa ct airb ags

and/ or roof-rail airbags.

{Warning

Children who are up against,

or very close to, any airbag when

i t inflates can be seriously injure d

or killed. Always secure children

properly in the v ehicle. To read

how, see orOlder Children 560

problem. See Airbag Readiness

Light 870.

Where Are the Airbags?

The driver frontal airbag is in the

center of the steering wheel.

The fr ont outboard passenger

When Should a n Airbag

Inflate?

This vehicle is equipped with

airbags. See .Airbag System 430

Airbags are designed to inflate if the

imp act exceeds the specific airbag

Seats and Restraints 47

system's deployment threshold.

Deployment thresholds are used to

predict how severe a crash is likely

to be in time for the airbags to

inflate and help restrain the

occupants. The vehicle has

electro nic sensors that help the

airbag system determine the

severity of the impact. Dep loyment

thresholds can vary with specific

vehicle design.

Fro ntal airbags are designed to

inflate in moderate to severe fr ontal

or near frontal crashes to help

reduce t he potential for severe

injuries, mainly to the driver's or

front outboard passenger's head

and chest.

Whether the frontal a irbags will or

s hould inflate is not based primarily

on how fast the vehicle is traveling.

It depends on what is hit, the

direction of the impact, and how

quickly the vehicle slows down.

Frontal airbags may inflate at

different crash speeds d epending o n

whether the vehicle hits an object

straight o n or at an angle, and

whether the object is fixed or

mo ving, rigid or deformable, narrow

or wide.

Frontal airbags are not intended to

inflate during vehicle rollovers, in

rear impacts, or in many side

impacts.

In addition, the vehicle has

advanced technology frontal

airbags. Advanced technology

frontal airbags adjust the restraint

according to either crash severity or

occupan t interaction.

Knee airbags are desig ned to inflate

in moderate to severe frontal or

near frontal impacts. Knee airbags

are not designed to inflate during

vehicle rollovers, i n rear impacts,

or in many side impa cts.

Seat-mounted side impact airbags

are designed to inflate in moderate

t o severe si de crashes depending

on the locatio n of the impact.

Seat-mounted side impact airbags

are not designed to inflate in frontal

impacts, near fron tal impacts,

rollovers, or rear im pacts.

A seat-mounted side impa ct airbag

is designed to infla te on the side of

the veh icle that is struck.

Roof-rail airbags ar e designed to

inflate in moderate to severe side

crashes depending on the location

of the impact. In addition, these

roof-rail airbags are de signed to

inflate during a rollover or in a

severe frontal impact. Roof-rail

a irbags are not designed to infl ate in

rear impacts. Bot h roof-rail airbags

will inflate when either side of the

vehicle is struck, if the sensing

system pr edicts that the vehicle is

about to ro ll over on i ts side, or in a

severe fr ontal impact.

In any particular crash, no one can

say whether an airbag should have

inflated simply because of the

vehicl e damage or repair costs.

What Makes an Airbag

Inflate?

In a de ployment event, the sensing

system sends an electrical signal

triggering a release of gas from the

inf lator. Gas from the inflator fills the

48 Seats and Restraints

airbag causi ng the bag to break out

of the cover. The inflator, the airbag,

and related hardware are all part of

the airbag module.

For airbag locations, see Where Are

the Airbags? 450.

How Does an Air bag

Restrain?

In moderate to severe fr ontal or

near frontal collisions, even belted

occupants can contact the steering

w heel or the in strument panel. In

moderate to severe side collisions,

even belted occupants can con tact

the inside of the vehicle.

Airbags supplement the protection

provided by seat belts by

distribu ting the force of the impact

more evenly over the

occupan t's body.

Rollover capable roof-rail airbags

a re designed to help contain the

head and chest of occupants in the

outboard seating positions i n the

first and second rows. The rollover

capable ro of-rail airbags are

designed to help reduce the risk of

full or partial ejection in rollover

events, although no syst em ca n

prevent all such ejections.

But airbags would not help in many

types of collisions, primarily

because the occupant's motion is

not toward those airbags. See When

Should an Airbag Inflate? 460.

Airbags should never be regarded

as anything more than a supplement

to seat belts.

What Wil l You See after

an Air bag Inflates?

After frontal, knee, a nd

seat-mounted side impa ct airbags

inflate, they quickly deflate, so

quickly that so me people may not

even realize the airbags inflated.

Roof-rail airbags may still be at least

partiall y inflated for some time after

they inflate. So me components of

the a irbag module may be hot for

several minutes. For location of the

airbags, see Where Are the

Airbags? 450.

The parts of th e airbag that come

into contact with you may be warm,

but not too hot to touch. There may

be some smoke and dust coming

from the vents in the deflated

airbags. A irbag inflation does not

prev ent the driv er from seeing out of

the windshield or being able to steer

the vehicle, nor does it prevent

people from leaving the vehicle.

{Warning

When an airbag inflates, there

may be dust in the air. This dust

could cau se breathi ng problems

for people with a history of

asthma or other breathing t roub le.

To avoid this, everyone in th e

vehicle should get out as soon as

it is safe to do so. If you have

breathing problems but ca nnot

get out of the vehicle after an

airbag inflates, then get fresh air

by opening a window or a door.

If you experience breathing

problems following an airbag

deployment, you should seek

medical attention.

Seats and Restraints 49

The vehicle has a feature that may

autom atically unlock the doors, turn

on the interior lamps and hazard

warning flashers, and shut off the

fuel sy stem after the airbags inflate.

The feat ure may also activate,

without airbag inflation, after an

event that exce eds a predetermined

threshold. After turning the ignition

off and then on again, the fuel

system will return to normal

operation; th e door s can be locked ,

the interior lamps can be turned off,

and t he hazard warning flashe rs can

be turned off using the controls for

those features. If any of these

systems are da maged in the crash

they may not operate as no rmal.

{Warning

A crash severe enough to inflate

has occurred.

In many crashes severe enou gh to

inflate the airbag, windshields are

broken by vehicle deformation.

Additional windshield breakage may

also occur from the front outboard

. Airbags are designed to inflate

only once. After an airbag

inflates, you wi ll need some new

parts for the airbag system.

If you do not get them, the

airbag system will not be there

to help protect you in anothe r

Passenger Sensing

System

The vehicle ha s a passenger

sensing system for the front

passenger airbag status ind icator

will light on the overhead console

when the vehicle is started.

50 Seats and Restraints

United Stat es

Canada

The words ON and OFF, or the

symbols for on and of f, will be

visible during the system check.

W hen the system check is

complet e, either the word ON or

OFF, or the symbol for on o r off, will

be visible. See Passenger Airbag

Status Indicator 880.

The passenger sensing system

turns off the front o utboard

passenger fro ntal airbag and kne e

ai rbag under certa in conditions. No

oth er airbag is affected by t he

passenger sensing system.

The passenger sensing system

works with sensors that are part of

the front outboard passenger seat

and seat belt. The sensors are

designed to detect th e presence of

a properly seated occupant and

determine if the front outboard

passenger fro ntal airbag and kne e

airbag should be allowed to inflate

or not.

According to accident statistics,

children are sa fer when properly

s ecured in a rear seat in the correct

child r estraint for their weight

and size.

Whenever possible, children aged

12 and under should be secured in

a rear seating position.

Never put a rear-facing chil d seat in

the front. This is because the risk to

the rear-facing child is so great,

if the airbag inflates.

{Warning

A child in a rear-facing child

restr aint can be seriously injured

or kill ed if the passenger frontal

airb ag infl ates. This is because

the back of the rear-facing child

restraint would be very close to

the inflating airbag. A child in a

forward-facing child restraint ca n

be seriously injured or killed if the

passenger frontal airbag inflates

and the passenger seat is in a

the front outboard passenger

seat, always move th e seat as far

back as it will go. It is bet ter to

secure child restraints in the rear

seat. Consider using another

vehicle to transport the child

when a rear seat is not available.

The passenger sensing system is

designed to turn off the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag

and knee airbag if:

. The fr ont outboard passenger

seat is unoccupied.

. The system determines an infant

is present in a child r estraint.

. A front outboard passenger

takes his/her weight off of the

seat for a period of time.

. There is a critical pro blem with

the airbag system or the

passenger sensing system.

When the passenger sensing

system has turned of f the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag

and knee airbag, the OFF indicator

will ligh t and stay lit as a reminder

that the airbags are off. See

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

0 88.

The passenger sensing system is

design ed to turn on the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag

and k nee airbag an ytime the system

senses that a person of adult size is

sitting properly in the front outboard

passenger seat. When the

passenger sensing system has

allowed the airbags to be enabled,

the ON ind icator will light and stay lit

as a reminder that the airbags are

active.

For some children, including

children in child restraints, and for

very small adults, the pa ssenger

sensing system ma y or may not turn

off the f ront outboard passenger

f rontal airbag and knee airbag,

depending upon the person's

seating posture and body build.

Everyone in th e ve hicle who has

outgrown child restraints should

wear a seat belt properly whether—

or not t here is an airbag fo r that

person.

{Warning

If the airbag readiness light ever

comes on and stays on, it means

that someth ing m ay be wrong

with the airbag system. To help

avoid inj ury to yourself or others,

have the veh icle serviced right

away. See Airbag Readiness

Light 870for more information,

including import ant safety

information.

If the On Indicator Is Lit for a

Child Restraint

The passenger sensing system is

designed to turn off the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag

and knee airbag if the system

determines that an infant is present

in a child restraint. If a child restraint

has been installed and the ON

indicator is lit:

52 Seats and Restraints

1. Turn the vehicle off.

2. Remove the child restraint from

the vehicl e.

3. Remove any additional items

from the seat such as blankets,

cushions, seat covers , se at

hea ters, or seat massagers.

4. Reinstall the child restraint

following the directions

provided by the child restrai nt

manufacturer and refer to

Securing Child Restraints (With

the Seat Belt in t he Rear Seat)

071 or

Securing Child Restraints (With

the Seat Belt in the Front Seat)

0 73.

5. If, after reinstalling the child

r estraint and restarting the

vehicle, the ON indicator is still

lit, turn the vehicle off. Then

slightly recline the v ehicle

seatback and adjust the seat

cushion, if adjustable, to make

sure that the vehicle seatback

is not pushing the child

r estraint into the seat cushion.

Also make sure the child

re straint is not trapped u nder

the vehicle head restraint.

If this happens, adjust the head

restraint. See Head Restraints

0 30.

6. Restart the vehicle.

The passenger sensing system may

or may not turn off the airbags for a

child in a child restrai nt depending

upon the child s size. It is better to’

secure the chil d restraint in a rear

seat. Never put a rear-facin g child

restraint in the f ront seat, even if the

ON indicator is not l it.

If the Off Indicator Is Lit for an

Adult-Sized Occupant

If a person of adult size is sitting in

the front outboard passenger seat,

but the OFF indicator is lit, it could

be because that person is not sitting

properly in the seat or that the child

restraint locki ng feature is engaged.

Use the following steps to allow the

system to detect th at person and

enable the front outboard passenger

f rontal airbag and knee airbag:

1. Turn the vehicle off.

Seats and Restraints 53

2. Remove any additional material

fro m the seat, such as

blankets, cushions, seat

covers, seat heaters, or seat

massagers.

3. Place the sea tback in the fully

upright posit ion.

4. Have the person si t upright in

the seat, centered on the seat

cush ion, with legs comfortably

extended.

5. If the shoulder portion of the

belt is pu lled out all the way,

the child restraint locking

feature will be engaged. T his

may unintentionally cause the

passenger sensing system to

turn the airbag off for some

adult-sized occupants. If this

happens, unbuckle the belt and

let the belt go back all the way,

and then buckle the belt again

without pulling the belt out all

the way.

6. Restart the vehicle and have

the person remain in this

position for two to

three minutes after the ON

indicator is lit.

{Warning

If the front outboard passenger

airbag is turned off for an

ad ult-s ized occupant, the airbag

will not be able to inflate and help

prot ect that person in a crash,

r esulting in an increased risk of

serious injury o r even death. An

adult-sized occupant should not

ride in the front outboard

passenger seat, if the passenger

airbag OFF indicator is lit.

Additional Factors Affecting

System Operation

Seat belts help keep the passenger

in position on the seat during

vehicle maneuvers and braking,

which helps the passenger sensing

s ystem m ainta in the passenger

airbag status. See Seat Belts and“ ”

“ ”Child Restraints in the Index for

additional information about the

importance of proper restraint use.

A thick layer of additional material,

such as a blan ket or cushion,

or aftermarket e quipment such as

s eat covers, seat heaters, and seat

massagers can affect how we ll the

passenger sensing system

operates. We recommend that you

not use seat covers or other

aftermarket equipment except when

approve d by GM for your specific

vehicle. See Adding Equipment to

the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle 540

for more infor mation abo ut

modifications that can affect how

the sy stem operates.

The ON indicator may be lit if an

object, such as a briefcase,

handbag, grocery bag, laptop,

or other electronic device, is pu t on

an unoccupied seat. If this is not

desired, remove the object from

the seat.

54 Seats and Restraints

{Warning

Stowing articles under the

passenger sea t or between the

passenger seat cushion and

seatback may interfere with t he

proper opera tion of the passenger

sensing system.

Servicing the

Airbag-Equipped Ve hicle

Airbags affect how the vehicle

should be serviced. There a re parts

of the airbag system in sev eral

places around the vehicle. Your

dealer and the service manual have

in formation about servicing the

vehicle an d the airbag sys tem. To

purchase a service manual, see

Publication Ordering Information

0 300.

{Warning

For up to 10 seconds after the

vehicle is turned off and the

battery is disconnected, an airbag

can still inflate during improper

service. You can be injured if you

are close to an airbag wh en it

inflates. Avoid y ellow connectors.

They are probably part of the

airbag system. Be sure to follow

proper service procedures, and

make sure the person performing

work for you is qualified to do so.

Adding Equipment to the

Airbag-Equipped Vehicle

Adding accessorie s that change the

vehicle's frame, bump er system,

height, front end, or side sheet

metal may keep the airbag system

from working properl y.

The operation of the airb ag system

can also be affected by changing,

including improperly repairing or

repla cing, any parts of the following:

. Airbag system, includin g airbag

modules, front or side impact

sensors, sensing and diagnostic

mo dule, or airbag wiring

. Front seats, including stitching,

seams or zippers

. Seat belts

. Steering wh eel, instrument

panel, overhead console, ceili ng

trim, or pillar garnish trim

. Inner door seals, including

speakers

Your dealer and the serv ice manual

h ave information about the location

of the airbag modules and sen sors,

sensing and diagnostic m odule, and

airba g wiring along with the proper

replace ment procedures.

In addition, the vehicle has a

passenger se nsing system for the

front outboard passenger p osition,

which includes sensors that are part

of the passenger seat. The

passenger sensing s ystem may not

operate properly if the origin al seat

trim is replaced with non-G M

covers, upholstery, or trim; or with

Seats and Restraints 55

GM co vers, upho lstery, or trim

designed for a different vehicle. Any

object, such as an aftermar ket seat

heater or a comfort-enhancing pad

or device, in stalled under or on top

of the seat fabric, could also

interfere with the operation of the

passenger sensing system . This

could either prevent proper

deployment of the passenger

airbag(s) or prevent the pa ssenger

sensing system from properly

turning off the passenger airbag(s).

56 Seats and Restraints

Child Restraints

Older Children

Older children w ho have outgrown

booster seats should wear the

vehicle s seat belts.’

The manufacturer instructions that

come with the booster seat state t he

weight and height limitations for that

booster. Use a booster seat with a

lap-shoulder belt until the child

passes the fit test below:

. Sit all the way back on the se at.

Do the knees bend at the seat

ed ge? If yes, continue. If no,

return to the booster seat.

. Buckle the lap-shoulder belt.

Does the shoulder belt rest on

the shoulder? I f yes, con tinue.

If no, t ry using the rear se at belt

comfort guid e, if available. See

“ ”Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides

under .Lap-Shoulder Belt 390

If a comfort guide is not

available, o r if the shoulder be lt

stil l does not rest on the

shoulder, then return to the

booster seat.

. Does the lap belt fit low and

snug on the hips, touching t he

thighs? If yes, continue. If no,

return to the boost er seat.

. Can proper seat belt fit b e

maintain ed for the length of the

trip? If yes, continue. If no,

return to the boost er seat.

Q: What is the proper way to

wear s eat belts?

A: An older child should wear a

lap-shoulder belt and get the

additional restraint a shoulder

belt can provide. The shoulder

belt should not cr oss the face or

neck. The lap belt should fit

snugly below the hips, just

touching the top of the thighs.

This applies belt force to th e

child's pelvic bones in a crash.

It should never be worn over the

abdomen, which could cause

sever e or even fatal internal

injuries in a crash.

Also see Rear Seat Belt Comfort“

Guides under”Lap-Shoulder Belt

0 39.

According to accident statistics,

children are sa fer when properly

restrained in a rear seating position.

In a crash, children who are not

buckled up can strike other people

who are bu ckled up, or can be

thrown out of the vehicle. Older

children need to use seat belts

properly.

Seats and Restraints 57

{Warning

Never allow more than one child

to wear the same seat belt. The

seat belt cannot properly spread

the impact forces. In a crash, they

can be crushed together and

seriously injured. A seat belt must

be used by only one person at

a time.

{Warning

Never allow a child to wear the

seat belt with the shoulder belt

behind their back. A child can be

seriously injured by not wearing

the lap-shoulder belt properly. In a

crash, the child would not be

restrained by the shoulder belt.

The child could move too far

forward increasing the chance of

head and neck injury. The child

might also slide under t he lap

belt. The belt force would then be

applied right on the abdomen.

That could cause serious or f atal

injuries. The shoulder belt should

go over the shoulder and across

the chest.

Infants and Young

Children

Everyone in a veh icle needs

protection! This includ es infants and

all other children. Neither the

distance trav eled nor the a ge and

s ize of t he traveler changes the

need, for everyone, to use safety

restraints. In f act, the law in every

state in the United States and in

every Canadian province sa ys

children up to som e age must be

restrained while in a vehicle.

58 Seats and Restraints

{Warning

Children can be seriously injur ed

or strang led if a shoulder belt is

wrapped arou nd their neck. The

shoulder belt can tighten but

cannot be loosened if it is locked.

The shoulder belt locks wh en it is

pulle d all the way out of the

retractor. It unlock s when the

shoulder b elt is allowed to go all

the way back into the retracto r,

but it cannot do this if it is

wrapped around a child s neck.’

If the shoulder belt is locked and

tightened around a child s neck,’

the onl y way to loosen the belt is

to cut it.

N ever leave children unattended

in a vehicle and never allow

children to pl ay with the seat

belts.

Every time in fants and young

children ride in vehicles , they should

have the protection provided by

appropriate child restraints. Ne ither

the vehicle's seat belt system nor its

airbag sys tem is designed for them.

Children who are not rest rained

properly can strike other people,

or can be thrown out of the vehicle.

{Warning

Never hold an infant or a child

w hile riding i n a ve hicle. Due to

crash forces , an infant or a child

will become so heavy it is not

possible to hold it during a crash.

For example, in a crash at only

40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb)

infant will suddenly become a

110 kg (240 lb) force on a pers on's

arms. An infa nt or child should be

secured in an a ppro priate child

restraint.

{Warning

Children who are up against,

or very close to, any airbag when

i t inflates can be seriously injure d

or killed. N ever put a rear-facing

child re straint in the f ront

outboard seat. Secure a

rear-facing chil d restrai nt in a rear

seat. It is also better to secure a

for war d-facing child restraint in a

rear seat. If you must secure a

forward-facing child restraint in

the front outboard seat, always

move the front passenger sea t as

far back as it will go.

Seats and Restraints 59

Child restraints are devices used to

restrain, seat, or position childr en in

the vehicle and are sometimes

called child seats or car seats.

There are three bas ic types of

child restraints:

. F orward-facing child restraints

. Rear-facing child restraints

. Belt-positioning booster seat s

The proper child restraint for your

child depends on their size, weight,

and age, and also on whether the

child restra int is compa tible with t he

vehicle in which it will be used.

For each type of child restraint,

there are many diff eren t models

available. When purchasing a child

restraint, be sure it is designed to be

used in a motor vehicle. If it is, the

child restraint will have a lab el

s aying that it meets federal motor

vehicle safety standards .

The instruction manual tha t is

provided with the ch ild restraint

states the weight and height

limit ations for that particular child

restraint. In addition, there are many

kinds of child restraints available for

children with special needs.

{Warning

To redu ce the risk of neck and

head injury in a crash, infants and

toddlers should be se cured in a

rear-facing child restraint until age

two, or until they rea ch the

maximum height and weight limits

of their child restraint.

{Warning

A young child's hip bones are still

so small that the vehicle seat belt

may not remain low on the hip

bones , as it should. Instead, it

may settle up around the child's

abdomen. In a crash, the belt

would app ly force on a body area

that is unprotected b y any bony

structure. This alone could cause

serious or fatal injuries. To reduce

t he risk of serious or fatal injuries

durin g a crash, young children

should always be s ecured in an

appropriate child restraint.

60 Seats and Restraints

Child Res trai nt Systems

Rear-Facing Infant Restraint

A rear-facing child restraint provides

restraint with the seating surface

against the back of the infant.

The harness system holds the infant

in place and, in a crash, acts to

k eep the infa nt positioned in th e

restraint.

Forward-Facing Child Restraint

A forwar d-facing child restraint

provides restraint for the child's

body with the ha rness.

B ooster Seats

A belt-positioning boo ster seat is

use d for children who have

outg rown their forward-facing child

restraint. Boos ters are designed to

improve th e fit of the vehicle's seat

be lt system until the child i s large

enough for the vehicle s eat bel ts to

fit properly without a booster seat.

See the seat belt fit test in Older

Securing an Add -On Child

Restraint in the Vehicle

{Warning

A child can be seriously inju red or

k illed in a crash if the child

restr aint is not properly secured in

the veh icle. Secure the child

restraint properly in the vehicle

using the vehicle seat belt or

LATCH syst em, following th e

instructions that came with that

child restraint and the in structions

in this manual.

To help reduce the chance of injury,

the child restraint must be secured

in the vehicle. Child restra ints must

be secured in vehicle seats by lap

belts or the lap belt portion of a

lap-shoulder belt, or by the L ATCH

system. See Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children (LATCH

System) 630for more information.

Children can be endangered in a

crash if the child restraint is not

properly secured in the v ehicle.

Wh en securing an add-on child

restraint, refer to the foll owing:

1 . Instruction labels provided on

the child rest raint

2. Instruction manual provided

with the child restraint

3. This vehicle owner's manual

The child restraint instructions are

important , so if they are not

a vailable, obtai n a replacement

copy from the manufacturer.

Keep in mind that an unsecured

chi ld restraint can move around in a

collision or sudden stop and injure

people in the vehicle. Be sure to

properly secure any child re straint in

the vehicle e ven when no child is—

in it.

In some areas Certified Child

Passenger Safety Technicians

(CP STs) are available to inspect

and demonstrate how to correctly

use and install child restr aints. In

the U.S ., refer to the National

Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) website to

locate the nearest child safety seat

inspection station. Fo r CPST

ava ilability in Canada, check with

Transport Canada or the Pr ovincial

Ministry of Transportation off ice.

Securing the Child Within the

Child Restraint

{Warning

A child can be seriously inju red or

killed in a crash if the child i s no t

properly secured in the child

restraint. Secure the child

pro perly following the in structions

that came with that child restraint.

Where to Put the

Restraint

According to accident statistics,

children and infants are safe r when

properly restrained in an appropriate

chil d restraint secured in a rear

seating position.

Whenever possible, children aged

12 and under should be secured in

a rear seating position.

62 Seats and Restraints

N ever put a rear-facing child

restraint in the front. This is because

th e risk to the rear - facing child is so

gr eat if the airbag deploys.

{Warning

A child in a rear-facing child

restr aint can be seriously injured

or kil led if the fr ont passenger

airb ag infl ates. This is because

the back of the rear-facing child

restraint would be very close to

the inflating airbag. A child in a

forward-facing child restraint ca n

be seriously injured or killed if the

front passenger airba g inf lates

and the passenger seat is in a

forward position.

Even if the passenger sensing

system has turned of f the front

passenge r frontal airbag, no

system is fail-safe. No one can

guarantee that an airbag will not

deploy under some un usual

circumstance, even though it is

turned off.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

Secure rear-facing child restraints

in a rear seat, even if the airbag

is off. If you secure a

forward-facing child restraint in

the front seat, always move the

front passenger seat as far back

as it will go. It is better to secure

the child restraint in a rear seat.

See Passenger Sensing System

049 for additional information.

When securing a child restraint with

the seat belts i n a rear seat position,

study th e instructions that came with

the child restraint to make sure it is

compatible with this vehicle.

Child restr aints and booster seats

vary considerably in si ze, and some

m ay fit in certain seating po sitions

better th an others.

Depending on wher e you place the

child restraint and the size of the

child restr aint, you may not be able

to access adjacent seat belts or

LATCH anchors for additi onal

passengers or child restraints.

Adjacent seating po sitions should

not be used if the child restraint

prevents access to or interferes with

the routing o f the seat belt.

Wherever a child restraint is

i nstalled, b e sure to follow the

instructions that came with the child

rest raint and secure the child

restrai nt pro perly.

Keep in mind that an unsecured

chi ld restraint can move around in a

collision or sudden stop and injure

people in the vehicle. Be sure to

properly secure any child re straint in

the vehicle even when no child is—

in it.

Seats and Restraints 63

Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children

(LATCH System)

The LATCH system secur es a child

restraint during driving or in a crash.

LATCH attachments on the child

restraint are used to att ach the child

restraint to the anchors in the

vehicle. The LATCH system i s

d esigned to make installation of a

child restraint easier.

In order to use the LATCH system in

your vehicl e, you need a child

restraint that has LATCH

attachments. LATCH-compatible

rear-facing and forward-facing ch ild

seats can be properly installed

using either the LATCH anchors or

the vehicle s seat belts. Do not use’

both the seat belts and the LATCH

anchorage system to secure a

rear-facing or forward-facing

child seat.

Booster seats use the vehicle s seat’

belts to secure the child in the

booster seat. If the manufactu rer

recommends that the booster seat

be secur ed with the LATCH system,

this can be done as long as th e

booster seat can b e positioned

properly and there is no interference

with the proper positioning of the

lap-shou lder belt on the chil d.

Make sure to follow the instructions

that came with the child restraint,

an d also the instructions in this

manual.

When installing a child restra int with

a top te ther, you must also use

either the lower anchors or the seat

belts to properly secure th e child

restraint. A child restraint m ust

never be installed using only the top

tether and anchor.

F or a forward-facing 5-pt harness

ch ild restraint where the combined

we ight of the child and restraint are

up to 29.5 kg (65 lb), use either the

lower LATCH anchor ages with the

top tether anchorage, or the sea t

belt with the top tether anchorage.

Where the combined weight of the

child and restraint are greater than

29.5 kg (65 lb ), use the seat belt with

the top tether anchorage only.

Lower Anchors

Lower anchors (1) are metal bars

built into the vehicle. There are t wo

low er anchors for each LAT CH

seating position that will

accom modate a child r estraint with

lower attachments (2).

Top Tether Anchor

A top tether (3, 4) is used to secure

the top o f the child restrai nt to the

vehicle. A top tether anchor is built

into the vehicle. The top tether

attachme nt hook (2) on the child

restraint connects to the top tether

anchor in the vehicle in order to

reduce the forward movement and

rotation of the child restraint during

driving or in a crash.

The child r estraint may hav e a

single tether (3) or a dual tether (4).

Ei ther will have a single attachment

hook (2) to secure the top tether to

the a nchor.

Some child restraints that have a

top tether are designed for use with

or without t he top tether being

a ttached. Others re quire the top

tethe r always to be attached. In

Canada, t he law requires that

forward-facing child restraints have

a top teth er, and that the tether be

attached. Be sure to read and follow

the instructions for your child

restraint.

Securing Child Restraints

(With the Seat Belt in the

Rear Seat)

When securing a child restraint in a

rear seating position, study the

instructions that came with the child

restraint to make sure it is

compatible with this vehicle.

If the child restraint has the LATCH

system, see Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children (LATCH

System) 630for how and where to

install the chi ld restraint using

LATCH. If a chi ld restraint is

secured in the vehicle using a sea t

belt and it uses a top tether, see

Lower Anchors and Tethers for

Children (LATCH System) 630for

top tether anchor locati ons.

Do not secure a child seat in a

position without a top tether anchor

if a na tiona l or local law requires

tha t the top t ether be anchored, or if

th e instructions that come with the

child restraint say that the top tether

must be anchored.

In Cana da, the law requires th at

forward-facing child restraints have

a top teth er, and that the tether be

attached.

If the child restraint or vehicle seat

position does not have the LATCH

system, you will be using the seat

belt to secure t he child restrai nt.

B e sure to follow the instructions

that came with the child restraint.

If more than one child restraint

needs to be installed in the rear

seat, be sure to read Where to Put

the Restraint 610.

1. Put the child restraint on

the seat.

If the head restraint interferes

with the proper installati on of

the chil d restraint, the head

rest raint may be removed. See

“Head Restraint Removal and

Reinstallation under”Lower

Ancho rs and Tethers for

Children (LATCH System) 630.

Securing Child Restraints

(With the Seat Belt in the

Front Seat)

This vehicle ha s airbags. A rear

seat is a safer place to secure a

forward-facing child restraint. See

Where to Put the Restraint 610.

In addition, the vehicle has a

passenger sensing system which i s

designed to turn off the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag

and kne e airbag under certai n

conditions. See Passenger Sensing

System 490and

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

088 for more information, including

important sa fety informa tion.

Never put a rear-facing chil d seat in

the front. This is because the risk to

the rear-facing child is so great i f the

airbag deploys.

{Warning

A child in a rear-facing child

restr aint can be seriously injured

or kil led if the fr ont outboard

passenger frontal airbag inflates.

This is because the back o f the

rear-fa cing child restraint would

be very clos e to the inflating

airbag. A child in a forward-facing

chil d restrai nt can be seriously

injured or killed if the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag

inflates and the passenger seat is

in a forward position.

Even if the passenger sensing

system has turned of f the front

outboard passenger airbag(s), no

system is fail-safe. No one can

guarantee that an airbag will not

deploy under some un usual

circumsta nce, even though the

airbag(s) are off.

Secure rear-facing child restraints

in a rear seat, even if the

airbag(s) are off. If you secure a

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

forward-facing child restraint in

the front outboard passenger

seat, always move th e seat as far

back as it will go. It is bet ter to

secure t he child restraint in a

rear seat.

See Passenger Sensing System

049 for additional information.

If the child restraint uses a top

tether, see Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children (LATCH

System) 630for top tether anchor

locations.

Do not secure a child seat in a

position without a top tether anchor

if a na tiona l or local law requires

tha t the top t ether be anchored, or if

th e instructions that come with the

child restraint say that the top tether

must be anchored.

In Cana da, the law requires th at

forward-facing child restraints have

a top teth er, and that the tether be

attached.

Warning lights and gauges can

signal that so mething is wro ng

before it becomes serious enough

t o cause an expensive repair or

replacement. Paying attention to the

warni ng lights and gauges could

prevent injury.

Some warning lights come on briefly

when the engine is started to

indicate they are working. When

o ne of the warning lights comes on

and stays on while dr iving, or when

one of the gauges shows there may

be a problem, check the section that

owners ask about. The se are

normal and do not indicate a

problem with the fuel gauge:

. At t he service station, the gas

pump shuts off before the gauge

reads full.

. It takes a l ittle more or less fuel

to fill up than the gauge

indicated. For example, the

gauge may have indicated the

fuel tank was half full, but it

actually took a little more or less

than half the fuel tank's capacity

to fill it.

. The indicator moves a little while

turning a corner or speeding up.

. The gauge goes back to empty

when the i gnition is turned off.
