OnStar service is subject to the OnStar terms and
conditions included in the OnStar Subscriber

place where OnStar has an agreement with a wireless
service provider for service in that area. OnStar service
also cannot work unless the vehicle is 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.

or if the airbags or ACR system deploy. This information
usually includes the vehicle's GPS location and, in the
event of a crash, additional information regarding the
crash that the vehicle was involved in (e.g. the direction
from which the vehicle was hit). When the virtual
advisor feature of OnStar hands-free calling is used, the
vehicle also sends OnStar the vehicle's GPS location
so they can provide services where it is located.
Location information about the vehicle is only available
if the GPS satellite signals are unobstructed and

To save your positions in memory, do the following:1. Adjust the driver's seat, including the seatback recliner, both outside mirrors, steering wheel, and
the throttle and brake pedals to a comfortable
position.
See Outside Power Foldaway Mirrors
on
page 3‑40and Adjustable Throttle and Brake

recall the mirror positions.
2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps sound.
A second seating, mirror, steering wheel position, and
throttle and brake pedal position can be programmed by
repeating the above steps and pressing button 2.
To recall the memory positions, the vehicle must be in
P (Park). Press and release either button 1 or button 2
corresponding to the desired driving position. The seat,
outside mirrors, steering wheel position, and adjustable
throttle and brake pedals will move to the position
previously stored. You will hear a single beep. If you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to enter
your vehicle and the remote recall memory feature is
on, automatic seat, mirror, steering wheel position, and

Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor in
front of you. The lap part of the belt should be worn low
and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a
crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones and
you would be less likely to slide under the lap belt.If you slid under it, the belt would apply force on your
abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder
and across the chest. These parts of the body are best
able to take belt restraining forces.
The shoulder belt locks if there is a sudden stop or
crash.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder
belt except for the center front passenger position (if
equipped), which has a lap belt. SeeLap Belt
on
page 2‑31for more information.
The following instructions explain how to wear a
lap-shoulder belt properly. 1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can sit up straight. To see how, see “Seats”in the
Index.
2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not let it get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly.
If the shoulder portion of a passenger belt is pulled
out all the way, the child restraint locking feature
may be engaged. If this happens, let the belt go
back all the way and start again.
Engaging the child restraint locking feature may
affect the passenger sensing system, if equipped.
See Passenger Sensing System
on page 2‑66for
more information. If the belt stops before it reaches the buckle, for
the rear center seating position, tilt the latch plate
and keep pulling the safety belt until it can be
buckled.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
If you find that the latch plate will not go fully into
the buckle, see if you are using the correct buckle.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt
Extender
on page 2‑32.
Position the release button on the buckle so that
the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
