Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:Is there anything I might add to or changeabout the vehicle that could keep the airbagsfrom 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. Changing or moving any parts
of the front seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing
and diagnostic module, steering wheel, instrument
panel, roof-rail airbag modules, ceiling headliner
or pillar garnish trim, overhead console, front
sensors, side impact sensors, or airbag wiring can
affect the operation of the airbag system.
In addition, your vehicle has a passenger sensing
system for the right front passenger’s position,
which includes sensors that are part of the
passenger’s seat. The passenger sensing system
may not operate properly if the original seat
trim is replaced with non-GM covers, upholstery or
trim, or with GM covers, upholstery or trim
designed for a different vehicle. Any object, such as
an aftermarket seat heater or a comfort enhancing
pad or device, installed under or on top of the
seat fabric, could also interfere with the operation of
the passenger sensing system. This could either
prevent proper deployment of the passenger
airbag(s) or prevent the passenger sensing system
from properly turning off the passenger airbag(s).
SeePassenger Sensing System on page 2-67.
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 8-2.
Q:Because I have a disability, I have to getmy vehicle modified. How can I find out whetherthis will affect my airbag system?
A: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. See
Customer Satisfaction Procedure on page 8-2.

Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of approximately 40 km/h(25 mph) or more can be maintained without keepingyour foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not workat speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). A cruise controllight appears in the instrument panel cluster when thecruise control is on.
When the brakes are applied, the cruise controlshuts off.
{WARNING:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not
use the cruise control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads.
On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TractionControl System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin,the cruise control automatically turns off. SeeTractionControl System (TCS) on page 5-6. When roadconditions let you safely use it again, the cruise controlcan be turned back on.
Setting Cruise Control
{WARNING:
If you leave your cruise control on when you are
not using cruise, you might hit a button and go
into cruise when you do not want to. You could be
startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise
control switch off until you want to use cruise
control.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control works on hills dependsupon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of thehills. When going up steep hills, you might have tostep on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’sspeed. When going downhill, you might have to brake orshift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speeddown. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gearends cruise control. If you need to apply the brakeor shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhillslope, you might not want to attempt to use thecruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the brakepedal, or press the cancel button on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased whenthe cruise control or the ignition is turned off.

2. This device must accept any interference received,including interference that may cause undesiredoperation of the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other thanan authorized service facility could void authorization touse this equipment.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an enhancement totraditional cruise control. It allows you to keep cruisecontrol engaged in moderate traffic conditions withouthaving to constantly reset your cruise control.ACC uses radar to detect a vehicle directly ahead inyour path, within a distance of 100 m (330 ft), andoperates at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). When it isengaged by the driver, the system can apply limitedbraking or acceleration of the vehicle automatically tomaintain a selected follow distance to the vehicle ahead.Braking is limited to 2.45 m/sec2 (0.25 g’s) ofdeceleration, which is comparable to moderate
4-15

application of the vehicle’s brakes. To disengage ACC,apply the brake. If no vehicle is in your path, thevehicle will react like traditional cruise control.
{WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control will not apply hard braking
or bring the vehicle to a complete stop. It will not
respond to stopped vehicles, pedestrians or
animals. When you are approaching a vehicle or
object, Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time
to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a collision.
Your complete attention is always required while
driving and you should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more information, see
Defensive Driving on page 5-2.
{WARNING:
•On winding roads, Adaptive Cruise Control
may not detect a vehicle ahead. You couldcrash into a vehicle ahead of you. Do not useAdaptive Cruise Control on winding roads.
•Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to
slow your vehicle enough to avoid a crashwhen you are driving in conditions wherevehicles may suddenly slow or stop ahead ofyou, enter your lane, or cross your vehicle’spath. If you are driving in these conditions, donot use Adaptive Cruise Control. The warningbeep and alert symbol may indicate that youare driving in conditions where AdaptiveCruise Control should not be used. See“Alerting the Driver” in this section.
•On slippery roads, fast changes in tire traction
can cause needless wheel spinning, and youcould lose control. Do not use cruise controlon slippery roads.
WARNING: (Continued)

Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until thesystem determines there is not a vehicle in front of you.At that point, your vehicle speed will increase to theset speed.
Decreasing Set Speed While Using ACC
Press the SET– button until you reach the lower speeddesired, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press theSET– button. Each time this is done, the set speeddecreases by 1 km/h (1 mph) slower.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the ACC is set at a desired speed and thenthe brakes are applied. This will turn off the ACC. But itdoes not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle speed reaches about 40 km/h (25 mph)or more, press the +RES button. ACC will be engagedwith the previously chosen set speed.
Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP)
When the system detects a slower moving vehicle, it willadjust your vehicle’s speed and maintain the followdistance (gap) you select.
Use the plus and minus buttons on the steering wheelto adjust the follow distance.
Press the plus button to increase the distance or theminus button to decrease the distance. The first buttonpress shows the current follow distance setting onthe DIC. The current follow distance setting willbe maintained until it is changed.
There are six follow distances to choose from. Thefollow distance selection ranges from near to far(one second to two seconds follow time). The distancemaintained for a selected follow distance will varybased on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speedthe further back your vehicle will follow. Considertraffic and weather conditions when selecting the followdistance. The range of selectable distances may notbe appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions.If you prefer to travel at a follow distance farther thanACC allows, disengage the system and drive manually.

There is also an interiortemperature sensorlocated next to the steeringwheel that measures thetemperature of the airinside the vehicle.
There is also an exterior temperature sensor locatedbehind the front grille. This sensor reads the outside airtemperature and helps maintain the temperatureinside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehiclecould cause a false reading in the displayedtemperature.
In order to prevent false temperature readings atstartup, the displayed temperature will not change untilthe following occurs:
•Vehicle speed is above 16 km/h (10 mph) for
5 minutes.
•Vehicle speed is above 51 km/h (32 mph) for 2 and
a half minutes.
The climate control system uses the information fromthese sensors to maintain your comfort setting byadjusting the outlet temperature, fan speed, and the airdelivery mode. The system may also supply coolerair to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. Therecirculation mode will also be used as needed tomaintain cool outlet temperatures.
Outlet Adjustment
For the front outlets, use the thumbwheel located beloweach outlet to change the direction of the airflow. Use thethumbwheel located next to the outlets to shut the airflowor to open the outlets and re-direct the air.
For the rear outlets, slide the lever left or right and up ordown to change the direction of the airflow.
Operation Tips
•Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that mayblock the flow of air into your vehicle.
•Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors 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 moreeffectively.
