Head Restraints
Adjust your head restraint so that the top of the restraint
is closest to the top of your head. This position
reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.
The head restraint can be adjusted to four positions.
To raise the restraint, pull up on the restraint. To lower
the restraint, push in the release button while you
push down on the restraint.

Rear Seat Operation
{CAUTION:
If a head restraint is not installed on the
seatback or stored in the vehicle properly, it
could be thrown about the vehicle in a crash
or sudden maneuver. People in the vehicle
could be injured. Remove the head restraints
only when you need to fold the seat, and be
sure that the head restraints are stored
securely in their proper storage location. When
the seat is returned to the passenger position,
be sure the head restraints are installed
properly.

Operation Tips
·Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the ¯ow of air into your vehicle.
·Use of non-GM approved hood de¯ectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
·Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more
effectively.
·If the air¯ow seems low when the fan is at the
highest setting, the passenger compartment
air ®lters, if equipped, may need to be replaced. For
more information, see ªPassenger Compartment
Air Filterº following and
Short Trip/City Scheduled
Maintenance on page 6-7.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
All models come equipped from the factory with a slot in
the ventilation system that is ready to accept passenger
compartment air ®lters. These ®lters are available for
purchase from your dealer. You will need to install
two ®lters to provide the proper ®ltration.
Both outside and recirculated air ¯ows through these
®lters and removes certain contaminates including pollen
and dust particles.
Reductions in air¯ow which occur more quickly in dusty
areas, may indicate that the ®lters need to be replaced
earlier than listed in the maintenance schedule. For how
often to replace your air ®lters, see
Maintenance
Requirements on page 6-2.
The access panel for the air ®lters is behind the
glove box.
