2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER child lock

Sliding Door Security Lock
Your vehicle is equipped with sliding door security locks
that helps prevent young children or other passengers
from opening the sliding door(s) using the inside
door handle. To use one of these locks, do the following:
1. Open the sliding door.
2. On the inside of the
sliding door(s), on the
front edge of the
door will be a lock.
Push the lever
up to engage the lock.
3. Close the door.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the other door.If your vehicle has power sliding door(s), you can
prevent power opening of the sliding door from the
passenger power sliding door (PSD) activation switch by
pressing the PSD second row passenger override
(deactivation) switch located on the overhead console.
SeePower Sliding Door (PSD) on page 2-17.
If you want to open the sliding door while the security
lock is on, unlock and open the door from the outside.
You should let adults and older children know how
the security lock works, and how to cancel the lock. If
you do not, adults or older children who ride in the rear
will not be able to open the sliding door from the
inside while the security lock feature is in use.
Canceling the Sliding Door
Security Lock
1. Unlock the sliding door and open the door from the
outside.
2. Push the security lock lever all the way down.
3. Close the door.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the other door.
The sliding door lock will now work normally.

If the power sliding door has been manually locked, you
must unlock the PSD before it can be opened.
Notice:If you leave the power sliding door on when
you go through an automatic car wash, the door may
accidentally open. Be sure the power sliding door is
turned off when going through a car wash.
If the power sliding door(s) is open or in the process of
closing when you shift out of PARK (P), a chime will
sound. This is a warning that the sliding door(s) is not
completely closed. Also, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will indicate if the door is open. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-51. Stop the vehicle
and close the door.
{CAUTION:
If you shift the transaxle out of PARK (P) and
accelerate before the power sliding door
latches closed, the door may reverse to the
open position. A child or others could fall out
of the vehicle and be injured. Always make
sure the power sliding door is closed and
latched before you drive away.If an object obstructs the power sliding door(s) while it is
closing, the door will automatically reverse to the
open position, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
Resistance must be as strong as the force of the closing
door, or stronger. The force of the closing door
increases signicantly as the door approaches the
latched position.
The driver’s side sliding door is designed to open only a
little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens, do
not try to force the sliding door. When the fuel ller door
is closed, the driver’s side sliding door can be opened
normally.

Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over a hill and nd
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. You
can avoid these problems by braking — if you can stop
in time. But sometimes you cannot; there is not room.
That is the time for evasive action — steering around the
problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes.
SeeBraking on page 4-6. It is better to remove as much
speed as you can from a possible collision. Then
steer around the problem, to the left or right depending
on the space available.An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock positions, you
can turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without
removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer
quickly, and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving
at all times and wear safety belts properly.

Maintenance Footnotes
#Lubricate the suspension, steering linkage, transaxle
shift linkage, and the underbody contact points and
linkage.
(a)Visually inspect brake lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chang, etc. Inspect
disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface
condition. Inspect other brake parts, including calipers,
parking brake, etc. Check parking brake adjustment.
(b)Visually inspect front and rear suspension and
steering system for damaged, loose, or missing parts,
signs of wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect power
steering lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding,
leaks, cracks, chang, etc.
(c)Visually inspect hoses and have them replaced if they
are cracked, swollen, or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
ttings and clamps; replace with genuine GM parts as
needed. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test
of the cooling system and pressure cap and cleaning the
outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is
recommended at least once a year.
(d)Visually inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking.
Replace wiper blades that appear worn or damaged
or that streak or miss areas of the windshield.(e)Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and anchorages
are working properly. If your vehicle has a built-in
child restraint, make sure the harness straps, latch
plates, buckle, clip, child head restraint, and anchorages
are working properly. Look for any other loose or
damaged safety belt system parts. If you see anything
that might keep a safety belt system from doing its
job, have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts
replaced. Also look for any opened or broken airbag
coverings, and have them repaired or replaced.
The airbag system does not need regular maintenance.
(f)Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood latch
assemblies, secondary latches, pivots, spring anchor
and release pawl, hood and door hinges, rear folding
seats, liftgate hinges, fuel door hinge, power sliding door
cable, and sliding door track(s). More frequent
lubrication may be required when exposed to a corrosive
environment. Applying silicone grease on weatherstrips
with a clean cloth will make them last longer, seal
better, and not stick or squeak.
(g)If you drive regularly under dusty conditions, inspect
the lter at each engine oil change.
