1-3 Memory Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature the controls are
located on the driver's door,
and are used to program and
recall memory settings for
the driver's seating and
outside mirror positions.
Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback recliner
and lumbar) and both of the outside mirrors to the
desired position. Then press and hold button 1
(for driver 1) for three seconds. A double chime will
sound to let you know that the position has been stored.
A second mirror and seating position can be
programmed by repeating the procedure with a
second driver and pressing button 2 for three seconds.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), a single chime will sound,
and the memory position will be recalled.If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver's seat
and mirror positions will be recalled if programmed to
do so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the memory controls.
The seat and mirror positions can also be recalled by
placing the key in the ignition if programmed to do
so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls or
memory buttons.
Two personalized exit positions can be set by first
recalling the driver's position (by pressing 1 or 2),
then positioning the seat in the desired exit position for
that driver. Then press and hold the button with the exit
symbol for three seconds. A double chime will sound to
let you know that the position has been stored. With the
vehicle in PARK (P), the exit position for that driver
can be recalled by pressing the exit button. The mirrors,
power lumbar and recline positions will not be stored
or recalled for the exit positions. If no exit position is
stored, the default is all the way rearward.

Programming for automatic seat and mirror movement
can be done through the Driver Information Center
(DIC). You can choose to either select or not select
automatic seat and mirror movement by using the
remote keyless entry transmitter, by placing your
key in the ignition, or when exiting the vehicle. For
programming information, see ªVehicle Programming
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.
Heated Front Seats (Option)
Your vehicle may have
heated front seats. The
buttons used to control
this feature are located
on the front door armrests.
The engine must be running
for the heated seat feature
to work.To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button with
the heated seat symbol. Press the button to cycle through
the temperature settings of high, medium and low, and
to turn the heated seat off. The indicator lights will glow
to designate the level of heat selected: three for high,
two for medium and one for low. The low setting warms
the seatback and cushion until the seat temperature is
near body temperature. The medium and high settings
heat the seatback and seat cushion to a slightly higher
temperature. You will be able to feel heat in about
two minutes.
To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with
the heated seatback symbol. An indicator light on the
seatback switch will glow to designate that only the
seatback is being heated. Additional presses will cycle
through the heat levels for the seatback only. Press the
horizontal button again to heat the whole seat.
The feature will shut off automatically when the ignition
is turned off.

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.
Right Front Passenger Position
To learn how to wear the right front passenger's
safety belt properly, see ªDriver Positionº earlier
in this section.
The right front passenger's safety belt works the same
way as the driver's safety belt
-- except for one thing.
If you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out all
the way, you will engage the child restraint locking
feature. If this happens, just let the belt go back all the
way and start again.
Air Bag Systems
This part explains the frontal and side impact air
bag systems.
Your vehicle has four air bags
-- a frontal air bag for the
driver, another frontal air bag for the right front
passenger, a side impact air bag for the driver, and
another side impact air bag for the right front passenger.
Frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of
injury from the force of an inflating frontal air bag. But
these air bags must inflate very quickly to do their job
and comply with federal regulations.

1-30 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Air bags affect how your vehicle should be serviced.
There are parts of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your dealer and the service manual
have information about servicing your vehicle and the
air bag systems. To purchase a service manual, see
ªService and Owner Publicationsº in the Index.
CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They are
probably part of the air bag systems. Be sure to
follow proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is qualified
to do so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.
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. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

Keys
CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. 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.

This vehicle has one
double
-sided key for the
ignition and door locks.
It will fit with either
side up.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer provides
the owner with a pair of identical keys and a key
code number.
The key code number tells your dealer or a qualified
locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep this number in
a safe place. If you lose your keys, you'll be able to have
new ones made easily using this number. Your selling
dealer should also have this number.NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have an
extra key.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call the
GM Roadside Assistance Center. See ªRoadside
Assistanceº in the Index.
If your vehicle is equipped with the OnStar system
with an active subscription and you lock your keys
inside the vehicle, OnStar may be able to send a
command to unlock your vehicle. See ªOnStarº
in the Index for more information.

Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
You can use the remote keyless entry system.
You can use your key to unlock your door from
the outside.
You can lock or unlock the door from the inside by
sliding the manual lever forward or rearward. When the
door is unlocked, you can see a red area on the lever.
The manual lever on each rear door works only that
door's lock.
