Seats and Seat Controls
This section tells you about the seats in your vehicle and
how to adjust them. It also tells you about reclining front
seatbacks.
CAUTION:
You can lose control of the vehicle if you try to
adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The
sudden movement could startle and confuse you,
or make you push a pedal when you don't want
to. Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle
is not moving.
Bucket Seats (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has bucket seats, also known as static
seats, you can adjust them forward or rearward with the
lever located at the front of the seat.
To adjust the seat, pull the lever up to release the seat
bottom. Slide the seat to where you want it and release
the lever. Then try to move the seat with your body, to
make sure the seat is locked in place.

2-49 Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will return
automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don't
flash but just stay on, check the turn signal flasher and
circuit breaker. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in
the Index.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the circuit breaker and for
burned
-out bulbs. (See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº
in the Index.)
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high beam or high
to low beam, pull the multifunction lever all the way
toward you, then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this light on the
instrument panel cluster
will also be on.

2-50 Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield
wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
(Off): Turn the band on the lever to this symbol to
turn off the windshield wipers.
(Mist): For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to
this symbol. Hold it there until the wipers start, then let
go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want
more cycles, hold the band on mist longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to one of the four delay settings to
choose the delay time. The further the band is turned
upward, the longer the delay will be. The further the
band is turned downward, the shorter the delay will be.
(Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed,
turn the band toward you to the first solid band below
the delay settings.
(High Speed): For high-speed wiping, turn the
band further, to the second solid band below the delay
settings. To stop the wipers, move the band to off.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. For
more information, see ªWindshield Wiper Blade
Replacementº in the Index.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The
windshield wiper motor is protected from overload by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. Although the circuit is protected from electrical
overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause
wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windshield before using your windshield wipers.

Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle has an ashtray and a cigarette lighter
located in the center floor console. To open the
removeable ashtray, flip open the top.
NOTICE:
If you store paper or other things that burn in your
ashtrays, they could be set on fire by cigarettes or
other smoking materials. That could cause a fire
and possibly damage your vehicle. Do not store
papers and other things that burn in your ashtrays.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way and let
it go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself.
NOTICE:
Holding a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it's heating can make it overload, damaging
the lighter and the heating element. Just push the
lighter all the way in and let it go. When it's
done, it will pop back out by itself.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can swing down the visors. You
can also swing them out to block glare from the side.
Accessory Power Outlets
With accessory power outlets, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
The accessory power outlets are located on the
passenger's side of the instrument panel.
To use an outlet, pull the cover down. When not using it,
always cover the outlet with the protective cap.
These circuits are protected by a fuse and have
maximum current levels.
NOTICE:
When using the accessory power outlets,
maximum load of any electrical equipment
should not exceed 14 amps. Be sure to turn off
any electrical equipment when not in use.
Leaving electrical equipment on for extended
periods can drain the battery.

2-66
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result in
blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information on
accessory power outlets.
NOTICE:
Adding some electrical equipment to your vehicle
can damage it or keep other things from working
as they should. This wouldn't be covered by your
warranty. Check with your dealer before adding
electrical equipment, and never use anything that
exceeds the amperage rating.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the equipment.
NOTICE:
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.
Trailer Connections (C4/C5 Models
Only) (If Equipped)
Heavy-Duty Trailer Wiring Package
Your vehicle may be equipped with an eight-wire trailer
towing harness. This harness, with a seven
-pin universal
heavy
-duty trailer connector, is attached to a bracket on
the platform hitch.
The Center High
-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL) wire is
tied next to the trailer wiring harness for use with a trailer.

Service
Your dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to
be happy with it. We hope you'll go to your dealer for
all your service needs. You'll get genuine GM parts and
GM
-trained and supported service people.
We hope you'll want to keep your GM vehicle all GM.
Genuine GM parts have one of these marks:
Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you'll
want to use the proper service manual. It tells you much
more about how to service your vehicle than this manual
can. To order the proper service manual, see ªService
and Owner Publicationsº in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See ªMaintenance Recordº in the Index.
CAUTION:
You 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 replacement parts
and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.

Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. ªEnglishº and ªmetricº
fasteners can be easily confused. If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall off. You could be hurt.

6-78 Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the
lights to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker inside the motor and a circuit breaker or fuse in
the fuse block. If the motor overheats, the wipers will
stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
an electrical problem, be sure to get it fixed.
Fusible Links
A fusible link is a short piece of wire several gauge sizes
smaller than the circuit it protects. It will melt in an
overload situation, opening the circuit.
Your starter and other circuits have these fusible links.
The size is printed on the insulation. If the insulation is
burned beyond recognition, consult your GM dealer for
the proper size. Replace a fusible link with one of the
same size and insulation type. Fusible link insulation is a
special purpose high
-temperature material.
The hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit and
starter circuit are protected by a fusible link. Vehicles
with a diesel engine have a fusible link for the intake
heater feed circuit.

6-79 Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens. This
protects the circuit until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
maxi
-fuses and fusible links. This greatly reduces the
chance of a fire caused by an electrical problem. There
may be a fuse taped to the wiring harness near the
hydraulic brake booster.
