5-10 Instruments and Controls
The airbag readiness light comes on
for several seconds when the
vehicle is started. If the light does
not come on then, have it fixed
immediately.
{ WarningIf the airbag readiness light stays
on or comes on and flashes after
the vehicle is started or comes on
while driving, it means the airbag
system might not be working
properly. The airbags in the
vehicle might not inflate in a
crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid
injury, have the vehicle serviced
right away. Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
{ WarningThe front passenger airbag is
designed to automatically turn off
under some conditions. Read this
section carefully to learn how it
operates. Proper use of the seat,
safety belt, and child restraints is
necessary for most effective
protection. Failure to follow all
instructions in this manual
concerning the use of seats,
safety belts, and child restraints
can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident. The passenger airbag status
indicator is under the climate
controls.

8-4 Climate Controls Operation Tips .
Clear away any ice, snow,
or leaves from the air inlets at
the base of the windshield that
may block the flow of air into the
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 the
vehicle more effectively. Maintenance Service This vehicle may have the new
environmentally friendly refrigerant,
R1234yf. This refrigerant has a
significantly reduced global warming
impact on the environment,
compared to the traditional
automotive refrigerant, R-134a. All
vehicles have a label underhood
that identifies the refrigerant used in
the vehicle. The refrigerant system should only
be serviced by trained and certified
technicians. The air conditioning
evaporator should never be repaired
or replaced by one from a salvage
vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure
proper and safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants
should be reclaimed with proper
equipment. Venting refrigerants
directly to the atmosphere is harmful
to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite,
or other health-based concerns.

Driving and Operating 9-13Using heavier suspension
components to get added
durability might not change your
weight ratings. Ask your dealer
to help you load your vehicle the
right way.
If you put things inside your
vehicle – like suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else –
they will go as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop
or turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, they will keep going.
{ Warning
Things inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash. .
Put things in the cargo
area of the vehicle. In the
cargo area, put them as
(Continued) Warning (Continued)
far forward as possible.
Try to spread the weight
evenly. .
Never stack heavier
things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats. .
Do not leave an
unsecured child restraint
in the vehicle. .
Secure loose items in the
vehicle. .
Do not leave a seat folded
down unless needed.
Also, check the tires for proper
inflation pressure. Refer to the Tire
and Loading Information label. Starting and
Operating New Vehicle Break-In
{ CautionThe vehicle does not need an
elaborate break-in. But it will
perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines for the
first 2 000 km (1,200 mi): .
Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow. .
Avoid quick starts. Avoid
accelerating at full-throttle in
any gear. Do not exceed
4000 rpm. .
Avoid downshifting to brake
or slow the vehicle. .
Avoid making hard stops.
During this time the new
brake linings are not yet
broken in. Hard stops with

Load Range.
(7) Service Description :
The
service description indicates the
load index and speed rating of a
tire. If two numbers are given as
in the example, 120/116, then
this represents the load index for
single versus dual wheel usage
(single/dual). The speed rating is
the maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load. This
does not apply to Goodyear
LT225/75R16 G949 RSA and
Goodyear LT225/75R16 G933
RSD commercial truck tires; see
the dual tire and single tire
maximum load and load range
letter designations on the tire
sidewall.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air Pressure :
The amount of
air inside the tire pressing
outward on each square inch of the tire. Air pressure is
expressed in kPa (kilopascal)
or psi (pounds per square inch).
Accessory Weight :
The
combined weight of optional
accessories. Some examples of
optional accessories are
automatic transmission, power
windows, power seats, and air
conditioning.
Aspect Ratio :
The relationship
of a tire's height to its width.
Belt :
A rubber coated layer of
cords between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing
materials.
Bead :
The tire bead contains
steel wires wrapped by steel
cords that hold the tire onto
the rim. Bias Ply Tire :
A pneumatic tire
in which the plies are laid at
alternate angles less than
90 degrees to the centerline of
the tread.
Cold Tire Pressure :
The
amount of air pressure in a tire,
measured in kPa (kilopascal)
or psi (pounds per square inch)
before a tire has built up heat
from driving. See Tire Pressure
on page 10-35 .
Curb Weight :
The weight of a
motor vehicle with standard and
optional equipment including the
maximum capacity of fuel, oil,
and coolant, but without
passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings :
A code molded
