3-6 Seats and Restraints
Front Seat Armrest
There is an armrest on the inboard
side of the driver seat. To raise or
lower the armrest, push up or pull
down on the armrest.
Folding Seatback The front passenger seatback may
fold flat. { WarningIf you fold the seatback forward to
carry longer objects, such as skis,
be sure any such cargo is not
near an airbag. In a crash, an
inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This
could cause severe injury or even
death. Secure objects away from
the area in which an airbag would
inflate. For more information, see
Where Are the Airbags? on
page 3-17 and Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9-9 .
{ Warning
Things you put on this seatback
can strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.
Remove or secure all items
before driving. { CautionFolding a seat with the safety
belts still fastened may cause
damage to the seat or the safety
belts. Always unbuckle the safety
belts and return them to their
normal stowed position before
folding a seat.
To fold the seatback:
1. Lower the head restraint all the
way. See Head Restraints on
page 3-2 .
2. Move the seat as far back as
possible. See Seat Adjustment
on page 3-3 .

3-12 Seats and Restraints
To unlatch the belt, push the button
on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
Before a door is closed, be sure the
safety belt is out of the way. If a
door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
safety belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt
height adjuster for the driver.
Adjust the height so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt should be close to, but not
contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment
could reduce the effectiveness of
the safety belt in a crash. See How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly on
page 3-9 .
To adjust, pull out the adjustment
button (1) and move the height
adjuster (2) to the desired position
so the belt passes over the center of
the shoulder. The belt should be
away from your face and neck, but
not falling off your shoulder. Release the adjustment button (1) to
lock the shoulder belt height
adjuster into position.
After the height adjuster is set to the
desired position, make sure it is
locked in place. Try to move the
height adjuster up or down without
pulling out on the button (1).
Safety Belt Pretensioners This vehicle has safety belt
pretensioners for front outboard
occupants. Although the safety belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they
are part of the safety belt assembly.
They can help tighten the safety
belts during certain types of frontal
crashes if the threshold conditions
for pretensioner activation are met.
Safety belt pretensioners can also
help tighten the safety belts in a
side crash or rollover event.
When a pretensioner activates,
smoke is released and a loud noise
may be heard. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire.

3-20 Seats and Restraints Warning (Continued) extend their hand out of the
window or lean against
the door. .
Do not use seat covers on
the seatbacks. They may
interfere with seat-mounted
side impact airbag inflation.
What Makes an Airbag
Inflate? In a deployment event, the sensing
system sends an electrical signal
triggering a release of gas from the
inflator. Gas from the inflator fills the
airbag causing the bag to break out
of the cover. The inflator, the airbag,
and related hardware are all part of
the airbag module.
For airbag locations, see Where Are
the Airbags? on page 3-17 .How Does an Airbag
Restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or
near frontal collisions, even belted
occupants can contact the steering
wheel or the instrument panel. In
moderate to severe side collisions,
even belted occupants can contact
the inside of the vehicle.
Airbags supplement the protection
provided by safety belts by
distributing the force of the impact
more evenly over the
occupant's body.
Rollover capable roof-rail airbags
are designed to help contain the
head and chest of occupants in the
front outboard seating positions.
The rollover capable roof-rail
airbags are designed to help reduce
the risk of full or partial ejection in
rollover events, although no system
can prevent all such ejections.
But airbags would not help in many
types of collisions, primarily
because the occupant's motion is not toward those airbags. See When
Should an Airbag Inflate? on
page 3-18 .
Airbags should never be regarded
as anything more than a supplement
to safety belts.
What Will You See after
an Airbag Inflates? After the frontal airbags and
seat-mounted side impact airbags
inflate, they quickly deflate, so
quickly that some people may not
even realize an airbag inflated.
Roof-rail airbags may still be at least
partially inflated for some time after
they inflate. Some components of
the airbag module may be hot for
several minutes. For location of the
airbags, see Where Are the
Airbags? on page 3-17 .
The parts of the airbag that come
into contact with you may be warm,
but not too hot to touch. There may
be some smoke and dust coming
from the vents in the deflated
airbags. Airbag inflation does not

from the seat, such as blankets,
cushions, seat covers, seat
heaters, or seat massagers.
3. Place the seatback in the fully
upright position.
4. Have the person sit upright in
the seat, centered on the seat
cushion, with legs comfortably
extended.
5. Restart the vehicle and have the
person remain in this position for
two to three minutes after the off
indicator is not lit.
{ Warning
If the front outboard passenger
airbag is turned off for an
adult-sized occupant, the airbag
will not be able to inflate and help
protect that person in a crash,
resulting in an increased risk of
serious injury or even death. An
adult-sized occupant should not

passenger seat, if the passenger
airbag off indicator is lit.
Additional Factors Affecting
System Operation Safety belts help keep the
passenger in position on the seat
during vehicle maneuvers and
braking, which helps the passenger
sensing system maintain the
passenger airbag status. See
“ Safety Belts ” and “ Child Restraints ”
in the Index for additional
information about the importance of
proper restraint use.
A thick layer of additional material,
such as a blanket or cushion,
or aftermarket equipment such as
seat covers, seat heaters, and seat
massagers can affect how well the
passenger sensing system
operates. We recommend that you
not use seat covers or other aftermarket equipment except when
approved by GM for your specific
vehicle. See Adding Equipment to
the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on
page 3-29 for more information
about modifications that can affect
how the system operates.
{ WarningStowing of articles under the
passenger seat or between the
passenger seat cushion and
seatback may interfere with the
proper operation of the passenger
sensing system.
{ Warning .
Do not place any objects on
the steering wheel pad or on
the instrument panel. Also, do
not place any objects
between any occupant and
the steering wheel or

front seats by placing
material on the seat cushion
or by installing additional trim
material, such as seat covers,
on the seat that are not
specifically designed to
assure proper airbag
operation. Additionally, do not
stow any objects under the
front passenger seat or the
seat cushion and seatback.
Such objects may interfere
with the proper operation of
the passenger sensing
system sensor (weight
sensor). .
No unauthorized changes
should be made to any
components or wiring of the
safety belt system. This may
affect the front airbag system.
(Continued) Warning (Continued) Tampering with the safety belt
system may result in serious
personal injury. .
Work on and around the front
airbag system should be
done by your dealer.
Installation of electrical
equipment should also be
done by your dealer. The
supplemental airbag system
wiring harnesses should not
be modified or disconnected;
airbag wiring harness
connectors are yellow and
orange for easy identification.
Unauthorized electrical test
equipment and probing
devices should not be used
on the airbag system. .
A cracked windshield should
be replaced immediately by a
qualified repair facility.
A cracked windshield could
affect the function of the
supplemental airbag system. Servicing the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle Airbags affect how the vehicle
should be serviced. There are parts
of the airbag system in several
places around the vehicle. Your
dealer and the service manual have
information about servicing the
vehicle and the airbag system. To
purchase a service manual, see
Service Publications Ordering
Information on page 13-11 .
{ WarningFor up to three minutes after the
vehicle is turned off and the
battery is disconnected, an airbag
can still inflate during improper
service. You can be injured if you
are close to an airbag when it
inflates. Avoid yellow connectors.

front-facing direction. Always
follow the booster seat
manufacturer ’ s instructions. 3. The booster seat should be
positioned on the vehicle seat so
that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove
the head restraint to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the
head restraint is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to
reinstall the head restraint when
the booster seat is removed. For
more information, see Head
Restraints on page 3-2 for head
restraint adjustment, removal,
and installation information.
If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head
restraint and it is interfering with
the proper booster seat fit, try a
different booster seat.
