Heated Seats (Option) Head Restraints
This feature will quickly heat the lower cushions and
lower back
of the driver and front passenger seats for
added comfort.
Press the button once to turn the heater on high. The HI
indicator light below the button will glow. Press it again
to turn the heater on low. The
LO indicator light below
heater off. The heater will turn off automatically when
the ignition is turned
off.
1 Y the button will glow. Press it a third time to turn the Slide the
head restraint up or down
so that the top of the
restraint is closest to the top
of your ears. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The head restraints tilt forward and rearward also.
There are four different positions. Just grasp the top of
the restraint and move it forward the way you want
it to
go until you hear a click. It will then be locked into that
position until you need to move it again. Pulling it
forward past the last position will allow the headrest to
return to its full rear position.

How to Wear 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 Aurora, see the part of this manual called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. The shoulder portion
of the belt has an energy management loop. It is
designed to open and help protect you in certain crashes.
If
it opens, you will see a label on the safety belt that
says to replace the belt. Be sure to do
so. If you don’t,
the safety belt won’t work properly and won’t protect
you
in another crash. For more information on replacing
safety belts after a crash, see “Replacing Safety Belts”
in
the Index.
Here’s how to wear the lap-shoulder belt properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.
ProCarManuals.com

You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will
go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint.
(See “Seats” in the Index.)
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
5. 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.

Automatic Transaxle
Your automatic transaxle has a shift lever located on the
console between the seats.
There are several shift positions for your shift lever.
PARK (P): This locks your front wheels. It's the best
position to use when
you start your engine because your
vehicle can't move easily.

Extended Idling with Automatic Electronic Climate Control
Extended idling is not recommended. See “Engine
Exhaust’’
in the Index.
Steering Wheel Touch Controls for Climate Control
Some heating and
cooling controls can be
adjusted at
the steering
wheel. Other touch
controls also operate some audio controls.
See “Steering Wheel
Touch Controls for
Audio System” later
in
this section. Press
the upper part
of the fan symbol to increase the fan
speed; press the lower part of the control to reduce the
fan speed.
Press
TEMP once to display the set temperature. Then press
the upper part of the control to raise the inside temperature \
setting; press the lower part to lower the setting.
Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your Aurora’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when
it is moving. Outside
air will
also enter the vehicle when the heater or the air
conditioning fan is running.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or
any other obstruction (such
as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air
to circulate throughout your
vehicle.
