2006 HUMMER H2 Owner ManualM

Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will nd these notices:
Notice:These mean there is something that could
damage your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that can damage the
vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered
by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could be costly. But
the notice will tell what to do to help avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors
or in different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle. They use
the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown along
with the text describing the operation or information
relating to a specic component, control, message,
gage, or indicator.

Heated Seats
If your vehicle has this
feature, the buttons are
located on the front doors.
The engine must be
running for the heated
seats to work.
To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button with
the heated seat and seatback symbol. Press the button to

and low and to turn the heated seat off. Indicator lights
will be lit to designate the level of heat selected: three for
high, two for medium, and one for low.

Reclining Seatbacks
The front seats have a recline feature which is described
earlier. SeePower Seats on page 1-2.{CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle
is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you
buckle up, your safety belts cannot do their
job when you are reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its job. In a
crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or
other injuries.
The lap belt cannot do its job either. In a crash
the belt could go up over your abdomen. The
belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic
bones. This could cause serious internal
injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your safety
belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving.

Rear Seats
Heated Seats

feature, the buttons used
to control this feature

the heated seat feature
to work.

through the temperature settings of high and low. Press
the button a third time to turn the feature off. An
indicator light will glow for each heat setting when the
feature is operating.
The heated rear seats will shut off automatically when
the ignition is turned off.
60/40 Split Bench Seat
The 60/40 split bench seats can be folded to give you
more cargo space.
Folding the Seatbacks
The seatbacks (SUV only) are equipped with rearward
folding head restraints. When the seatback is being
folded down, the head restraint will automatically
fold rearward.

the seat.

loop located at the rear
of the seat cushion
and pull the seat
cushion up and fold
it forward.
3. Pull the seatback forward and fold it down until it
is at.
If the seatback cannot fold at because it interferes
with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward
and/or bringing the front seatback more upright.
4. Repeat the steps for the other half of the 60/40 split
bench seat.

forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could
cause injury to the person sitting there. Always
push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is
locked.

A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not provide
the protection needed in a crash. The person

routed and attached, and are not twisted.To return the seat(s) to the upright position, do
