iii How to Use this Manual Many people read their owne r ’ s manual from beginning to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you do this, it will help you learn about the features and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and words work together to explain things quickl y .
iv V ehicle Damage W arnings Also, in this book you will find these notices: NOTICE: These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle. In the notice area, we tell you about something that can damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty , and it could be costly .
v These are some examples of vehicle symbols you may find on your vehicle:.
1- 1-1 Section 1 Seats and Seat Restraints Here you’ll find information about the seats in your vehicle and how to use your safety belts properly . Y ou can also learn about some things you should not do with air bags and safety belts.
1-2 Seats and Seat Controls This section tells you about the seats -- how to adjust them -- and also about reclining seatbacks and head restraints. Manual Front Seats CAUTION: Y ou can lose control of the vehicle if you try to adjust a manual driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving.
1-3 Six-W ay Power Seat (If Equipped) If your vehicle has this feature, the power seat control is located on the outboard side of the driver ’ s seat. This control allows you to move the seat up, down, forward or backward. It will also move the front or rear of the seat cushion up or down.
1-4 Reclining Front Seatbacks Y our vehicle has the following reclining front seatback lever . T o adjust the seatback, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat. Move the seatback to where you want it and release the lever . Check to see that the handle returns to the original position and that the seatback is securely locked.
1-5 CAUTION: 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 you’re r eclined like this. The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against your body .
1-6 Rear Seats Folding Rear Seatback (Option) T o fold down the rear seatback, do the following: 1. Open the trunk and pull one or both of the tethers located on the driver ’ s side of the trunk. The left tether will open the larger side of the seatback.
1-7 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 Restraint System (SRS), or air bag system.
1-8 Y ou 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. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most crashes are in between.
1-9 Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn’t stop..
1-10 The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield ... or the instrument panel ....
1-1 1 or the safety belts! W ith safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces.
1-12 Q: If my vehicle has air bags, why should I have to wear safety belts? A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in most of them in the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts -- not instead of them.
1-13 How to W ear Safety Belts Properly Adults This part is only for people of adult size. Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding in your vehicle, see the part of this manual called “Children.
1-14 If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle the belt. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
1-15 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’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.
1-16 Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt adjuster to the height that is right for you. T o move it down, squeeze the release button and move the height adjuster to the desired position. Y ou can move the adjuster up just by pushing up on the shoulder belt guide.
1-17 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly as much protection this way . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury .
1-18 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong place. CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be ther e, not at the pelvic bones.
1-19 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. CAUTION: Y ou 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 .
1-20 Q: What’ s wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . CAUTION: Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you wouldn’t have the full width of the belt to spread impact for ces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer to fix it.
1-21 T o 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. Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women.
1-22 The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother . When a safety belt is worn properly , it’ s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly .
1-23 CAUTION: Air bags inflate with great for ce, faster than the blink of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating air bag, as you would be if you were leaning forward, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts help keep you in position before and during a crash.
1-24 How the Air Bag System W orks Where ar e the air bags? The driver ’ s air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger ’ s air bag is in the instrument panel on the passenger ’ s side.
1-25 CAUTION: If something is between an occupant and an air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing sever e injury or even death.
1-26 How does an air bag restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near - frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel.
1-27 Y our vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which records information about the air bag system. The module records information about the readiness of the system, when the system commands air bag inflation and driver ’ s safety belt usage at deployment.
1-28 Rear Seat Passengers It’ s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts. Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle in a crash.
1-29 If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, tilt the latch plate and keep pulling until you can buckle it. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end of this section.
1-30 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’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen.
1-31 Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and Small Adults Rear shoulder belt comfort guides will provide added safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for small adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide better positions the belt away from the neck and head.
1-32 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. 3. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must be under the belt and the guide on top.
1-33 4. Buckle, position and release the safety belt as described in “Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions” earlier in this section. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder . T o remove and store the comfort guides, squeeze the belt edges together so that you can take them out of the guides.
1-34 Lap Belt When you sit in the center seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor . T o make the belt longer , tilt the latch plate and pull it along the belt. T o make the belt shorter , pull its free end as shown until the belt is snug.
1-35 Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
1-36 CAUTION: People should never hold a baby in their arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby doesn’t weigh much -- until a crash. During a crash a baby will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it. CAUTION: (Continued) CAUTION: (Continued) For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12 - lb.
1-37 CAUTION: Children who ar e up against, or very close to, any air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Air bags plus lap - shoulder belts offer outstanding protection for adults and older children, but not for young childr en and infants.
1-38 CAUTION: Newborn infants need complete support, including support for the head and neck. This is necessary because a newborn infant’ s neck is weak and its head weighs so much compared with the rest of its body .
1-39 Restraint Systems for Children An infant car bed (A), a special bed made for use in a motor vehicle, is an infant restraint system designed to restrain or position a child on a continuous flat surface. Make sure that the infant’ s head rests toward the center of the vehicle.
1-40 A forward - facing child seat (C - E) provides restraint for the child’ s body with the harness and also sometimes with surfaces such as T - shaped or shelf - like shields. A booster seat (F - G) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle’ s safety belt system.
1-41 Q: How do child restraints work? A: A child restraint system is any device designed for use in a motor vehicle to restrain, seat, or position children. A built - in child restraint system is a permanent part of the motor vehicle. An add - on child restraint system is a portable one, which is purchased by the vehicle’ s owner .
1-42 Where to Put the Restraint Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. General Motors, therefore, recommends that child restrai.
1-43 In Canada, the law requires that forward - facing child restraints have a top strap, and that the strap be anchored. In the United States, some child restraints also have a top strap. If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be anchored.
1-44 Lower Anchorages and T op T ethers for Children (LA TCH System) Y our vehicle has the LA TCH system. Y ou’ll find anchors (A) in the rear outside seating positions.
1-45 W ith this system, use the LA TCH system instead of the vehicle’ s safety belts to secure a child restraint. CAUTION: If a LA TCH - type child restraint isn’t attached to its anchorage points, the restraint won’t be able to protect a child sitting ther e.
1-46 Securing a Child Restraint Designed for the LA TCH System 1. Find the anchors for the seating position you want to use, where the bottom of the seatback meets the back of the seat cushion. 2. Put the child restraint on the seat. 3. Attach the anchor points on the child restraint to the anchors in the vehicle.
1-47 T ilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed. If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’ s face or neck, put it behind the child restraint. 3. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
1-48 4. T o tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder belt while you push down on the child restraint. If you’re using a forward - facing child restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt.
1-49 Securing a Child Restraint in the Center Rear Seat Position Y ou’ll be using the lap belt. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say . See the earlier part about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1-50 4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 5. T o tighten the belt, pull its free end while you push down on the child restraint.
1-51 Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position Y our vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never put a rear - facing child restraint in this seat. Here’ s why: CAUTION: A child in a rear - facing child restraint can be seriously injur ed or killed if the right front passenger’ s air bag inflates.
1-52 4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.
1-53 6. T o tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor while you push down on the child restraint. Y ou may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt. 7. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure.
1-54 Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle’ s safety belts. If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can wear a lap - shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.
1-55 CAUTION: Never do this. Here two childr en are wearing the same belt. The belt can’t properly spr ead the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injur ed. A belt must be used by only one person at a time.
1-56 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 on the child’ s abdomen.
1-57 Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle’ s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender . It’ s free. When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear , so the extender will be long enough for you.
2- 2-1 Section 2 Featur es and Controls Here you can learn about the many standard and optional features on your vehicle, and information on starting, shifting and braking. Also explained are the instrument panel and the warning systems that tell you if everything is working properly -- and what to do if you have a problem.
2-2 Windows CAUTION: Leaving childr en in a vehicle with the windows closed is dangerous. A child can be over come by the extreme heat and can suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat str oke. Never leave a child alone in a vehicle, especially with the windows closed in warm or hot weather .
2-3 Manual Windows On a vehicle with manual windows, use the window crank to open and close each window . Power W indows (If Equipped) The power window switches are located on the armrest on the driver ’ s door . In addition, each passenger door has a switch for its own window .
2-4 Keys CAUTION: Leaving childr en in a vehicle with the ignition key is dangerous for many r easons. A child or others could be badly injured or even killed. They could operate the power windows or other controls or even make the vehicle move. Don’t leave the keys in a vehicle with children.
2-5 One key is used for the ignition and all other locks. When a new vehicle is delivered, the key has a bar - coded key tag. This tag may be removed by your dealer before it is delivered. Each tag has a key code on it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith how to make extra keys.
2-6 Door Locks CAUTION: Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Passengers -- especially childr en -- can easily open the doors and fall out of a moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the handle won’t open it. Y ou increase the chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if the doors aren’t locked.
2-7 Power Door Locks W ith the power door locks, you can unlock or lock all the doors on your vehicle using either the driver ’ s or front passenger ’ s door lock switch. Pull up on the switch to unlock all the doors. Push down on it to lock all the doors.
2-8 Customizing the Automatic Door Locks One of four operating modes may be selected and programmed by the driver: Mode 1: All doors automatically lock when the transaxle is shifted out of P ARK (P). The doors will remain locked unless manually unlocked or the lock button is pressed.
2-9 Delayed Locking This feature will allow the driver to delay the actual locking of the vehicle. This feature will not operate if the key is left in the ignition.
2-10 The rear doors on your vehicle cannot be opened from the inside when this feature is in use. If you want to open a rear door while the security lock is on, do the following: 1. Unlock the door from the inside. 2. Then open the door from the outside.
2-1 1 Remote Keyless Entry System (If Equipped) If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and unlock your doors or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
2-12 Operation The following functions are available with the keyless entry system: (Lock): All doors will automatically lock when this button on the transmitter is pressed.
2-13 Programmable Horn Chirp When you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors or use the delayed locking feature, the parking lamps will flash twice.
2-14 Battery Replacement Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless entry transmitter should last about four years. Y ou 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 .
2-15 T runk T o unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the key and turn the trunk lock cylinder . When closing the trunk, close from the center to ensure it fully latches. CAUTION: It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle.

3-29 Care of Y our Compact Discs Handle discs carefully . Store them in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
4- 4-1 Section 4 Y our Driving and the Road Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in varying weather conditions.
4-2 Defensive Driving The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively . Please start with a very important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle up. See “Safety Belts” in the Index. Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.
4-3 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 V ision Attentiveness.
4-4 It’ s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example, if the same person drank three double martinis (3 ounces or 90 ml 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 will have a somewhat lower BAC level.
4-5 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 .
4-6 Control of a V ehicle Y ou have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator .
4-7 This is a mistake. Y our brakes may not have time to cool between hard stops. Y our brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy braking. If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking.
4-8 The anti - lock system can change the brake pressure faster than any driver could. The computer is programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. This can help you steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly .
4-9 Steering Power Steering If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but it will take much more effort. Steering Tips Driving on Curves It’ s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
4-10 Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you.
4-1 1 Off - Road Recovery Y ou may find that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy .
4-12 Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you’re awaiting an opportunity . For one thing, following too closely reduces your area of vision, especially if you’re following a larger vehicle. Also, you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops.
4-13 Loss of Control Let’ s review what driving experts say about what happens when the three control systems (brakes, steering and acceleration) don’t have enough friction where the tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked. In any emergency , don’t give up.
4-14 Driving at Night Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Here are some tips on night driving. Drive defensively .
4-15 Y ou can be temporarily blinded by approaching headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little.
4-16 The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see. Even if your windshield wiper blades are in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see road signs and traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge of the road and even people walking.
4-17 Hydroplaning doesn’ t happen often. But it can if your tires do not have much tread or if the pressure in one or more is low . It can happen if a lot of water is standing on the road. If you can see reflections from trees, telephone poles or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the water ’ s surface, there could be hydroplaning.
4-18 City Driving One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. Y ou’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going.
4-19 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.
4-20 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. Drive on to the next exit. The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply . The exit speed is usually posted.
4-21 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 .
4-22 Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from driving in flat or rolling terrain. If you drive regularly in steep country , or if you’re planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make your trips safer and more enjoyable.
4-23 CAUTION: Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) or with the ignition off is dangerous. Y our brakes will have to do all the work of slowing down. They could get so hot that they wouldn’t work well. Y ou would then have poor braking or even none going down a hill.
4-24 Winter Driving Here are some tips for winter driving: Have your vehicle in good shape for winter . Y ou may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk.
4-25 Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have good traction. However , if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can have a very slippery situation. Y ou’ll have a lot less traction or “grip” and will need to be very careful.
4-26 If Y ou’re Caught in a Blizzard If you are stopped by heavy snow , you could be in a serious situation. Y ou should probably stay with your vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near help and you can hike through the snow .
4-27 CAUTION: Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle. This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas to get inside. CO could overcome you and kill you. Y ou can’t see it or smell it, so you might not know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from around the base of your vehicle, especially any that is blocking your exhaust pipe.
4-28 Recreational V ehicle T owing Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle behind another vehicle -- such as behind a motorhome. The two most common types of recreational vehicle towing .
4-29 Dinghy T owing T o tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, follow these steps: 1. Position the vehicle to tow and then secure it. 2. T urn the ignition switch to OFF .
4-30 NOTICE: Make sur e that the towing speed does not exceed 65 mph (1 10 km/h), or your vehicle could be badly damaged. NOTICE: Do not tow your vehicle from the r ear . Y our vehicle could be badly damaged and the repairs would not be covered by your warranty .
4-31 Dolly T owing T o tow your vehicle with a dolly and two wheels on the ground, follow these steps: 1. Put the front wheels on a dolly . 2. Put the vehicle in P ARK (P). 3. Set the parking brake and then remove the key . 4. Clamp the steering wheel in a straight - ahead position with a clamping device designed for towing.
4-32 Loading Y our V ehicle T wo labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry . The Tire - Loading Information label found on the rear edge of the driver ’ s side door tells you the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for the tires on your vehicle.
4-33 CAUTION: Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR, or either the maximum front or r ear GA WR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, and it can change the way your vehicle handles. These could cause you to lose control and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.
4-34 T owing a T railer CAUTION: If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive properly , you can lose control when you pull a trailer . For example, if the trailer is too heavy , the brakes may not work well -- or even at all. Y ou and your passengers could be seriously injured.
4-35 If Y ou Do Decide T o Pull A T railer If you do, here are some important points: There are many different laws, including speed limit restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure your rig will be legal, not only where you live but also where you’ll be driving.
4-36 W eight of the T railer T ongue The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight to measure because it affects the total or gross weight of your vehicle. The Gross V ehicle W eight (GVW) includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you may carry in it, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle.
4-37 Hitches It’ s important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, lar ge trucks going by and rough roads are a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch. Here are some rules to follow: The rear bumper on your vehicle is not intended for hitches.
4-38 Driving with a T railer T owing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer .
4-39 Making T urns NOTICE: Making very sharp turns while trailering could cause the trailer to come in contact with the vehicle. Y our vehicle could be damaged. A void making very sharp turns while trailering. When you’re turning with a trailer , make wider turns than normal.
4-40 Driving On Grades NOTICE: Do not tow on steep continuous grades exceeding 6 miles (9.6 km). Extended, higher than normal engine and transaxle temperatures may r esult and damage your vehicle. Frequent stops ar e very important to allow the engine and transaxle to cool.
4-41 When Y ou Are Ready to Leave After Parking on a Hill 1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down while you: start your engine, shift into a gear , and release the parking brake. 2. Let up on the brake pedal. 3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
5- 5-1 Section 5 Pr oblems on the Road Here you’ll find what to do about some problems that can occur on the road. 5 - 2 Hazard W arning Flashers 5 - 2 Other W arning Devices 5 - 3 Jump Starting 5 -.
5-2 Hazard W arning Flashers Y our hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They also let police know you have a problem. Y our front and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off. The hazard warning flasher is located near the center of the instrument panel.
5-3 Jump Starting If your battery has run down, you may want to use another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your vehicle. Be sure to follow the steps below to do it safely . CAUTION: Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous because: They contain acid that can burn you.
5-4 2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other . If they are, it could cause a ground connection you don’t want. Y ou wouldn’t be able to start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems.
5-5 CAUTION: Using a match near a battery can cause battery gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this, and some have been blinded. Use a flashlight if you need more light. Be sur e the battery has enough water . Y ou don’t need to add water to the ACDelco battery installed in every new GM vehicle.
5-6 6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery . Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one. 7. Don’t let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery .
5-7 8. Now connect the black negative ( - ) cable to the negative ( - ) terminal of the good battery . Use a remote negative ( - ) terminal if the vehicle has one. Don’t let the other end touch anything until the next step. The other end of the negative ( - ) cable doesn’ t go to the dead battery .
5-8 10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for a while. 1 1. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery . If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs service. NOTICE: Damage to your vehicle may result fr om electrical shorting if jumper cables are r emoved incorrectly .
5-9 T o disconnect the jumper cables from both vehicles, do the following: 1. Disconnect the black negative ( - ) cable from the vehicle that had the dead battery . 2. Disconnect the black negative ( - ) cable from the vehicle with the good battery . 3.
5-10 If Steam Is Coming From Y our Engine CAUTION: Steam from an overheated engine can burn you badly , even if you just open the hood. Stay away from the engine if you see or hear steam coming from it. Just turn it off and get everyone away from the vehicle until it cools down.
5-1 1 If No Steam Is Coming From Y our Engine An overheat warning, along with a low coolant light, can indicate a serious problem. See “Low Coolant Light” in the Index. If you get an engine overheat warning with no low coolant light, but see or hear no steam, the problem may not be too serious.
5-12 Cooling System When you decide it’ s safe to lift the hood, here’ s what you’ll see: A. Electric Engine Cooling Fans B. Coolant Surge T ank with Pressure Cap CAUTION: An electric engine cooling fan under the hood can start up even when the engine is not running and can injure you.
5-13 The coolant level should be at or above the FULL COLD mark. If it isn’t, you may have a leak at the pressure cap or in the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator , water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system. CAUTION: Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine parts, can be very hot.
5-14 How to Add Coolant to the Coolant Surge T ank NOTICE: This vehicle has a specific coolant fill pr ocedur e. Failure to follow this pr ocedure could cause your engine to overheat and be severely damaged. If you haven’t found a problem yet, check to see if coolant is visible in the surge tank.
5-15 CAUTION: Adding only plain water to your cooling system can be dangerous. Plain water , or some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil before the pr oper coolant mixture will. Y our vehicle’ s coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture.
5-16 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Y ou can remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. T urn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise (left) about two or two and one - half turns.
5-17 3. Then fill the coolant surge tank with the proper mixture, to the hash mark on the label. W ait about five minutes, then check to see if the level is below the hash mark. If the level is below the hash mark, add additional coolant to bring the level up to the hash mark.
5-18 If a Tir e Goes Flat It’ s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you maintain your tires properly . If air goes out of a tire, it’ s much more likely to leak out slowly .
5-19 The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and change a tire. Removing the Spare T ire and T ools The equipment you’ll need is in the trunk. 1. T urn the center retainer nut on the compact spare tire cover counterclockwise to remove it.
5-20 3. T urn the wing nut counterclockwise and remove it. Then lift off the adapter and remove the compact spare tire. See “Compact Spare T ire” later in this section for more information about the compact spare tire. 4. Remove the jack and wrench from the trunk.
5-21 Removing the Flat Tir e and Installing the Spare Tir e 1. If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel cover or hubcap that has plastic wheel nut caps, then loosen the plastic nut caps (you may need to use the wheel wrench to loosen them). Do not pry off wheel covers or center caps that have plastic wheel nut caps.
5-22 4. Then use the wrench to loosen all the wheel nuts. Don’t remove them yet. 5. Position the jack and raise the jack head until it fits firmly into the notch in the vehicle’ s frame nearest the flat tire.
5-23 CAUTION: Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you could be badly injured or killed. Never get under a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack. CAUTION: Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly positioned can damage the vehicle and even make the vehicle fall.
5-24 9. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel bolts, mounting surfaces and spare wheel. CAUTION: Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts become loose after a time. The wheel could come off and cause an accident.
5-25 CAUTION: Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts. If you do, the nuts might come loose. Y our wheel could fall off, causing a serious accident. 10. Install the compact spare tire. Put the wheel nuts back on with the cone end of the nuts toward the wheel.
5-26 12. T ighten the wheel nuts firmly in a crisscross sequence, as shown. CAUTION: Incorr ect wheel nuts or impr operly tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become loose and even come off. This could lead to an accident. Be sure to use the corr ect wheel nuts.
5-27 Storing the Flat Tir e and T ools CAUTION: Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment in the passenger compartment of the vehicle could cause injury . In a sudden stop or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store all these in the proper place.
5-28 Storing the Spare T ire and T ools CAUTION: Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment in the passenger compartment of the vehicle could cause injury . In a sudden stop or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store all these in the proper place.
5-29 Compact Spare T ire Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated when your vehicle was new , it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly . It should be 60 psi (420 kPa). After installing the compact spare on your vehicle, you should stop as soon as possible and make sure your spare tire is correctly inflated.
5-30 If Y ou’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow In order to free your vehicle when it is stuck, you will need to spin the wheels, but you don’t want to spin your wheels too fast. The method known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re stuck, but you must use caution.
6- 6-1 Section 6 Service and Appearance Car e Here you will find information about the care of your vehicle. This section begins with service and fuel information, and then it shows how to check important fluid and lubricant levels. There is also technical information about your vehicle, and a part devoted to its appearance care.
6-2 Service Y our dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to be happy with it. W e hope you’ll go to your dealer for all your service needs. Y ou’ll get genuine GM parts and GM - trained and supported service people. W e hope you’ll want to keep your GM vehicle all GM.
6-3 CAUTION: Y ou can be injured and your vehicle could be damaged if you try to do service work on a vehicle without knowing enough about it. Be sure you have sufficient knowledge, experience, the proper r eplacement parts and tools before you attempt any vehicle maintenance task.
6-4 Gasoline Specifications It is recommended that gasoline meet specifications which were developed by the American Automobile Manufacturers Association and endorsed by the Canadian V ehicle Manufacturers’ Association for better vehicle performance and engine protection.
6-5 Additives Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low emissions may contain an octane - enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT); ask the attendant where you buy gasoline whether the fuel contains MMT . General Motors does not recommend the use of such gasolines.
6-6 Filling Y our T ank CAUTION: Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns violently , and that can cause very bad injuries. Don’t smoke if you’re near gasoline or r efueling your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from gasoline.
6-7 While refueling, hang the tethered fuel cap inside the fuel door . T o remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise). The fuel cap has a spring in it; if you let go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right. CAUTION: If you get gasoline on yourself and then something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
6-8 When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the right (clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. Make sure you fully install the cap. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
6-9 Checking Things Under the Hood CAUTION: An electric fan under the hood can start up and injure you even when the engine is not running. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from any underhood electric fan. CAUTION: Things that burn can get on hot engine parts and start a fire.
6-10 2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and lift the secondary hood release handle before lifting the hood. 3. Lift the hood. 4. Release the hood prop rod from its retainer and put the hood prop into the slot marked PROP ROD. Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps are on properly .
6-1 1 Engine Compartment Overview When you open the hood, you’ll see the following: A. Engine Coolant Surge T ank B. Power Steering Fluid Reservoir C. Engine Oil Fill Cap D. Engine Oil Dipstick E. Brake Fluid Reservoir F . Engine Compartment Fuse Block G.
6-12 Engine Oil If the CHECK OIL light appears on the instrument cluster , it means you need to check your engine oil level right away . For more information, see “Check Oil Light” in the Index. Y ou should check your engine oil level regularly; this is an added reminder .
6-13 When to Add Engine Oil If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add at least one quart of oil. But you must use the right kind. This part explains what kind of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity , see “Capacities and Specifications” in the Index.
6-14 What Kind of Engine Oil to Use Oils recommended for your vehicle can be identified by looking for the starburst symbol. This symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Do not use any oil which does not carry this starburst symbol.
6-15 As in the chart shown previously , SAE 5W - 30 is best for your vehicle. However , you can use SAE 10W - 30 if it’ s going to be 0 F ( - 18 C) or above. These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity , or thickness. Do not use other viscosity oils, such as SAE 20W - 50.
6-16 If none of them is true, use the long trip/highway maintenance schedule. Change the oil and filter every 7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months -- whichever occurs first. Driving a vehicle with a fully warmed engine under highway conditions will cause engine oil to break down slower .
6-17 T o check or replace the engine air cleaner/filter: 1. Remove the four screws on the cover , then pull the cover back. 2. Remove the engine air cleaner/filter and check or replace it. 3. Replace the cover tightly . Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to replace the air filter .
