{CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds, after the ignition is
turned off and the battery is disconnected,
an airbag can still in ate during improper
service. You can be injured if you are
close to an airbag when it in ates. Avoid
yellow connectors. They are probably part
of the airbag system. Be sure to follow
proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is
quali ed to do so.
The airbag system does not need regular
maintenance.
Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:Is there anything I might add to the
exterior of the vehicle that could keep the
airbags from working properly?
A:Yes. If you add things that change your
vehicle’s frame, bumper system, height,
front end or side sheet metal, they may keep
the airbag system from working properly.
Also, the airbag system may not work properly
if you relocate any of the airbag sensors. If
you have any questions about this, you should
contact Customer Assistance before you
modify your vehicle. The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in
Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure in this manual. SeeCustomer
Satisfaction Procedure on page 452.

Q:Because I have a disability, I have to get
my vehicle modi ed. How can I nd out
whether this will affect my airbag system?
A:Changing or moving any parts of the
front seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing
and diagnostic module, steering wheel,
instrument panel, the inside review mirror,
or airbag wiring can affect the operation of
the airbag system. If you have questions, call
Customer Assistance. The phone numbers
and addresses for Customer Assistance
are in Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure in this manual. SeeCustomer
Satisfaction Procedure on page 452.
Your dealer/retailer and the service manual have
information about the location of the airbag
sensors, sensing and diagnostic module and
airbag wiring.
Restraint System Check
Checking the Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder
light and all your belts, buckles, latch plates,
retractors 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. SeeCare of Safety Belts on page 411.
Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a
belt is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.

If you ever notice a decrease in the keyless
access transmitter range, try doing one of the
following:
Check the distance. You may be too far from
your vehicle. You may need to stand closer
during rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects
may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to
the left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
Check to determine if battery replacement
is necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under
Keyless Access System Operation on page 73.
Check to make sure that an electronic device
such as a cellular phone or lap top computer is
not causing interference.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer/
retailer or a quali ed technician for service.
Keyless Access System Operation
Your vehicle has a keyless access system
that allows you to lock and unlock your doors,
unlock your hatch/trunk lid and disarm or arm
your theft-deterrent system. The range distance
is as much as 100 feet (30 m) away.
Your vehicle comes standard with two transmitters,
and up to four can be matched to your vehicle. See
“Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle” later in
this section.
Q(Lock):Press this button to lock the doors.
The light on the door will ash once. If this button
is pressed two times, the doors will lock, the
light will ash and the horn will sound.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
These vehicle accessories can be used for up to
10 minutes after the engine is turned off:
Audio System
Power Windows
These features continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the engine is turned off or until either door
is opened. If a door is opened, the power windows

Starting the Engine
Move the shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N)
for an automatic transmission. For a manual
transmission the vehicle can be started in

you are already moving, use the NEUTRAL position
only. To restart an automatic transmission when
you are already moving, use NEUTRAL (N).Notice:Do not try to shift to PARK (P) if
your vehicle is moving. If you do, you could
damage the transmission. Shift to PARK (P)
only when your vehicle is stopped.
The keyless access transmitter must be inside the
vehicle for the ignition to work.
Cell phone chargers can interfere with the
operation of the Keyless Access System. Battery
chargers should not be plugged in when starting
or turning off the engine.
To start your vehicle, do the following:
1. For an automatic transmission, with your foot
on the brake pedal, press the START button
located on the instrument panel. For a manual
transmission, while pressing in the clutch,
press the START button.
If there is not a keyless access transmitter in
the vehicle or if there is something causing
interference with it, the DIC will display
NO FOBS DETECTED. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 214for more
information.

OnStar®Hands-Free Calling
OnStar®Hands-Free Calling allows eligible
OnStar®subscribers to make and receive calls
using voice commands. Hands-Free Calling is
fully integrated into the vehicle, and can be
used with OnStar
®Pre-Paid Minute Packages.
Hands-Free Calling may also be linked to a
Verizon Wireless service plan in the U.S. or a Bell
Mobility service plan in Canada, depending on
eligibility. To nd out more, refer to the OnStar
®
Owner’s Guide in the vehicle’s glove box, visit
www.onstar.com or www.onstar.ca, or speak
with an OnStar
®advisor by pressing the
OnStar®button or calling 1-888-4-ONSTAR
(1-888-466-7827).
OnStar®Virtual Advisor
OnStar®Virtual Advisor is a feature of OnStar®
Hands-Free Calling that uses your minutes to
access location-based weather, local traffic reports,
and stock quotes. By pressing the phone button
and giving a few simple voice commands, you can
browse through the various topics. See the
OnStar
®Owner’s Guide for more information.
(Only available in the continental U.S.)
How OnStar®Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar®services,
your vehicle’s OnStar®system has the capability
of recording and transmitting vehicle information.
This information is automatically sent to an
OnStar
®Call Center at the time of an OnStar®
button press, Emergency button press or if
your airbags or AACN system deploys. The vehicle
information usually includes your GPS location
and, in the event of a crash, additional information
regarding the accident that your vehicle has
been involved in (e.g. the direction from which
your vehicle was hit). When you use the Virtual
Advisor feature of OnStar
®Hands-Free Calling,
your vehicle also sends OnStar®your GPS
location so that we can provide you with
location-based services.

OnStar®service cannot work unless your vehicle is
in a place where OnStar®has an agreement with a
wireless service provider for service in that area.
OnStar
®service also cannot work unless you are
in a place where the wireless service provider
OnStar
®has hired for that area has coverage,
network capacity and reception when the service is
needed, and technology that is compatible with the
OnStar
®service. Not all services are available
everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed
areas, or at all times.
OnStar
®service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available
in that place as well.Your vehicle must have a working electrical
system (including adequate battery power) for the
OnStar
®equipment to operate. There are other
problems OnStar®cannot control that may prevent
OnStar®from providing OnStar®service to you
at any particular time or place. Some examples are
damage to important parts of your vehicle in an
accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather
or wireless phone network congestion.
Your Responsibility
You may need to increase the volume of your radio
to hear the OnStar®advisor. If the light next to the
OnStar®buttons is red, this means that your system
is not functioning properly and should be checked
by a dealer. If the light appears clear (no light is
appearing), your OnStar
®subscription has expired.
You can always press the OnStar®button to
con rm that your OnStar®equipment is active.
