4. With the head restraint facingrearward, insert the head
restraint posts into the holes in
the top of the seatback.
5. Push the head restraint down.
6. Try to move the head restraint to make sure that it is locked in
place.
7. When the child restraint is removed, reinstall the head
restraint before the seating
position is used.
{Warning
With head restraints that are not
installed and adjusted properly,
there is a greater chance that
occupants will suffer a neck/spinal
injury in a crash. Do not drive until
the head restraints for all occupants
are installed and adjusted properly.
Replacing LATCH System
Parts After a Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH
system in the vehicle. A damaged
LATCH system may not properly
secure the child restraint, resulting
in serious injury or even death in a
crash. To help make sure the
LATCH system is working properly
after a crash, see your dealer to
have the system inspected and any
necessary replacements made as
soon as possible. If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a crash,
new LATCH system parts may be
needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH system
was not being used at the time of the
crash.
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Rear Seat)
When securing a child restraint with
the seat belts in a rear seat position,
study the instructions that came with
the child restraint to make sure it is
compatible with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) 0106 for
how and where to install the child
restraint using LATCH. If a child
restraint is secured in the vehicle
using a seat belt and it uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) 0106 for
top tether anchor locations.

114 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top tether must
be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have a
top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
If the child restraint or vehicle seat
position does not have the LATCH
system, you will be using the seat belt
to secure the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came
with the child restraint.
If more than one child restraint needs
to be installed in the rear seat, be sure
to readWhere to Put the Restraint
0 105.
1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
For the third row outboard
seating positions, if the head
restraint interferes with the
proper installation of the child
restraint, the head restraint may be removed. See
“Head Restraint
Removal and Reinstallation ”
under Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System)
0 106.
2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of
the vehicle's seat belt through or
around the child restraint. The
child restraint instructions will
show you how.
3. Push the latch plate into thebuckle until it clicks.
If the latch plate will not go fully
into the buckle, check to see if
the correct buckle is being used. Position the release button on
the buckle, away from the child
restraint, so that the seat belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
4. Pull the shoulder belt all the way
out of the retractor to set the
lock. When the retractor lock is
set, the belt can be tightened but
not pulled out of the retractor.

5. To tighten the belt, push downon the child restraint, pull the
shoulder portion of the belt to
tighten the lap portion of the
belt and feed the shoulder belt
back into the retractor. When
installing a forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful to use
your knee to push down on the
child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the
retractor to make sure the
retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat
Steps 4 and 5. 6. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. Refer to the instructions
that came with the child
restraint and see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) 0106.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To check,
grasp the child restraint at the
seat belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and back
and forth. When the child
restraint is properly installed,
there should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt and let
it return to the stowed position. If the
top tether is attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.
If the head restraint was removed for
a third row outboard seating position,
reinstall it before the seating position
is used. See “Head Restraint Removal and Reinstallation
”under Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 0106 for additional
information on reinstalling the head
restraint properly.
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Front Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is
a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint 0105.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
under certain conditions.
See Passenger Sensing System 093 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0138
for more information, including
important safety information.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great if the
airbag deploys.

Position the release button on
the buckle, away from the child
restraint, so that the seat belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.5. Pull the shoulder belt all the wayout of the retractor to set the

Try to pull the belt out of the
retractor to make sure the
retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat
Steps 5 and 6. 7. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To check,
grasp the child restraint at the
seat belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and back
and forth. When the child
restraint is properly installed,
there should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.
If the airbag is off, the OFF indicator
in the passenger airbag status
indicator will come on and stay on
when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed
and the ON indicator is lit, see “If the
On Indicator Is Lit for a Child
Restraint ”under Passenger Sensing
System 093.

122 STORAGE
Roof Rack System
{Warning
If something is carried on top of the
vehicle that is longer or wider than
the roof rack—like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress —the wind
can catch it while the vehicle is
being driven. The item being carried
could be violently torn off, and this
could cause a collision and damage
the vehicle. Never carry something
longer or wider than the roof rack
on top of the vehicle unless using a
GM certified accessory carrier.
If equipped, the roof rack can be used
to load items. For roof racks that do
not have crossrails included,
GM Certified crossrails can be
purchased as an accessory. See your
dealer for additional information.
Caution
Loading cargo on the roof rack that
weighs more than 100 kg (220 lb) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the
vehicle may damage the vehicle.
Load cargo so that it rests evenly
between the crossrails, making sure
to fasten cargo securely.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo
when driving, check to make sure
crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle’s center of
gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking, or abrupt maneuvers,
otherwise it may result in loss of
control. If driving for a long distance,
on rough roads, or at high speeds,
occasionally stop the vehicle to make
sure the cargo remains in its place.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle
capacity when loading the vehicle. For
more information on vehicle capacity
and loading, see Vehicle Load Limits
0 196. A Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) is located above the rear
window glass. Make sure items loaded
on the roof of the vehicle do not block
or damage the CHMSL.

windshield.
The wiper operations return to normal
when the transmission is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle speed has
increased.

warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
Lm:Push the paddle marked with
the windshield washer symbol at the
top of the turn signal lever to spray
washer fluid and activate the wipers.
The wipers will continue until the
paddle is released or the maximum

may occur depending on how long the
windshield washer had been activated.
See Washer Fluid 0290 for
information on filling the windshield
washer fluid reservoir.
