Safety Belts Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone This section of the manual describes how to use safety belts properly . It also describes some things not to do with safety belts. { W ARNING: Do not let anyone ride where a safety belt cannot be worn properly .
In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law requires wearing safety belts. Here is why: Y ou never know if you will be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you do not know if it will be a serious one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up, a person would not survive.
Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. 2-14.
The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... or the instrument panel... 2-15.
or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces.
Q: If I am a good driver , and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Y ou may be an excellent driver , but if you are in a crash — even one that is not your fault — you and your passenger(s) can be hurt. Being a good driver does not protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers.
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.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The lap belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your lap belt is too loose. In a crash, you could slide under the lap belt and apply force on your abdomen.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong buckle. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not on the pelvic bones.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt goes over an armrest like this. The belt would be much too high. In a crash, you can slide under the belt. The belt force would then be applied on the abdomen, not on the pelvic bones, and that could cause serious or fatal injuries.
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is behind the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, you would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. Y our body could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury .
Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is twisted across the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly , or ask your dealer to fix it.
Lap-Shoulder Belt All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder except for the center front passenger position (if equipped), which has a lap belt. See Lap Belt on page 2 ‑ 32 for more information. The following instructions explain how to wear a lap-shoulder belt properly .
4. If equipped with a shoulder belt height adjuster , move it to the height that is right for you. See “ Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment ” later in this section for instructions on use and important safety information. 5. T o make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster The vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for the driver and right front passenger seating positions. Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the belt is centered on the shoulder . The belt should be away from the face and neck, but not falling off the shoulder .
Here is how to install a comfort guide to the safety belt: 1. Remove the guide from its storage pocket on the rear side of the seatback. 2. Place the guide over the belt, and insert the two edges of the belt into the slots of the guide.
3. Be sure that the belt is not twisted and it lies flat. The elastic cord must be under the belt and the guide on top. { W ARNING: A safety belt that is not properly worn may not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured.
4. Buckle, position, and release the safety belt as described earlier in this section. Make sure that the shoulder belt crosses the shoulder . T o remove and store the comfort guide, squeeze the belt edges together so that the safety belt can be removed from the guide.
Lap Belt This part is only for the lap belt. T o learn how to wear a lap-shoulder belt, see Lap-Shoulder Belt on page 2 ‑ 26 . The vehicle may have a center seating position. When you sit in the center front seating position, you have a lap safety belt, which has no retractor .
Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer will order you an extender . When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear , so the extender will be long enough for you.
The manufacturer's instructions that come with the booster seat, state the weight and height limitations for that booster . Use a booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until the child passes the below fit test: . Sit all the way back on the seat.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never allow two children to wear the same safety belt. The safety belt can not properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, the two children can be crushed together and seriously injured. A safety belt must be used by only one person at a time.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never allow a child to wear the safety belt with the shoulder belt behind their back. A child can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, the child would not be restrained by the shoulder belt.
Infants and Y oung Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never hold an infant or a child while riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an infant or a child will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it during a crash. For example, in a crash at only 40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will suddenly become a 1 10 kg (240 lb) force on a person's arms.
{ W ARNING: Never do this. Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat.
Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner , are available in four basic types.
{ W ARNING: A young child's hip bones are still so small that the vehicle's regular safety belt may not remain low on the hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body area that is unprotected by any bony structure.
A booster seat (C-D) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's safety belt system. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window .
When securing an add-on child restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the restraint which may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so if they are not available, obtain a replacement copy from the manufacturer .
Where to Put the Restraint According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system or infant restraint system secured in a rear seating position.
{ W ARNING: A child in a child restraint in the center front seat can be badly injured or killed by the frontal airbags if they inflate. Never secure a child restraint in the center front seat. It is always better to secure a child restraint in a rear seat.
Lower Anchors Lower anchors (A) are metal bars built into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors for each LA TCH seating position that will accommodate a child restraint with lower attachments (B). T op T ether Anchor A top tether (A, C) anchors the top of the child restraint to the vehicle.
Some child restraints that have top tethers are designed for use with or without the top tether being attached. Others require the top tether always to be attached. In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child restraints have a top tether , and that the tether be attached.
The top tether anchors are located under the covers on the rear seatback filler panel. Pull open the cover to access the anchors. Be sure to use an anchor located on the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where the child restraint will be placed.
{ W ARNING: Do not attach more than one child restraint to a single anchor . Attaching more than one child restraint to a single anchor could cause the anchor or attachment to come loose or even break during a crash. A child or others could be injured.
2. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that the top tether be attached, attach and tighten the top tether to the top tether anchor , if equipped. Refer to the child restraint instructions and the following steps: 2. 1. Find the top tether anchor .
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Seat Position When securing a child restraint in a rear seating position, study the instructions that came with the child restraint to make sure it is compatible with this vehicle.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Position the release button on the buckle so that the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary . 4. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.
5. T o tighten the belt, push down on 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.
Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child restraint.
If the child restraint has the LA TCH system, see Lower Anchors and T ethers for Children (LA TCH) on page 2 ‑ 45 for how and where to install the child restraint using LA TCH.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Position the release button on the buckle so that the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary . 5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock.
6. T o tighten the belt, push down on 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.
Airbag System The vehicle has the following airbags: . A frontal airbag for the driver . . A frontal airbag for the right front passenger . . A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver . . A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the right front passenger .
Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system: { W ARNING: Y ou can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt — even if you have airbags. Airbags are designed to work with safety belts, but do not replace them.
{ W ARNING: Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them.
Where Are the Airbags? The driver frontal airbag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger frontal airbag is in the instrument panel on the passenger's side.
Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar The seat-mounted side impact airbags for the driver and right front passenger are in the side of the seatbacks closest to the door .
{ W ARNING: If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury or even death.
Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash speeds. For example: . If the vehicle hits a stationary object, the airbags could inflate at a different crash speed than if the vehicle hits a moving object.
Seat-mounted side impact and roof-rail airbags are not intended to inflate in frontal impacts, near-frontal impacts, rollovers, or rear impacts. A seat-mounted side impact airbag is intended to deploy on the side of the vehicle that is struck. Both roof-rail airbags will deploy when either side of the vehicle is struck.
What Will Y ou 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 deploy .
{ W ARNING: A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may have also damaged important functions in the vehicle, such as the fuel system, brake and steering systems, etc. Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after a moderate crash, there may be concealed damage that could make it difficult to safely operate the vehicle.
Passenger Sensing System The vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the right front passenger position. The passenger airbag status indicator will be visible on the overhead console when the vehicle is started. United States Canada The words ON and OFF , or the symbol for on and off, are visible during the system check.
A label on the sun visor says, “ 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. { W ARNING: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger airbag inflates.
When the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger frontal airbag and seat ‐ mounted side impact airbag, the off indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbags are off. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 4 ‑ 49 .
If the On Indicator is Lit for a Child Restraint If a child restraint has been installed and the on indicator is lit: 1. T urn the vehicle off. 2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle. 3. Remove any additional items from the seat such as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers.
If the Off Indicator is Lit for an Adult-Size Occupant If a person of adult-size is sitting in the right front passenger seat, but the off indicator is lit, it could be because that person is not sitting properly in the seat.
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.
Adding Equipment to Y our Airbag-Equipped V ehicle Q: Is there anything I might add to or change about the vehicle that could keep the airbags from working properly? A: Y es. 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 .
Restraint System Check Checking the Restraint Systems Safety Belts Now and then, check that the safety belt reminder light, safety belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and anchorages are all working properly . Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts that might keep a safety belt system from doing its job.
Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash { W ARNING: A crash can damage the restraint systems in your vehicle. A damaged restraint system may not properly protect the person using it, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash.

Y our Driving, the Road, and the V ehicle Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “ always expect the unexpected. ” The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt — See Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone on page 2 ‑ 12 .
For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical, psychological, and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive.
Keeping pace with the traffic and allowing realistic following distances eliminates a lot of unnecessary braking. That means better braking and longer brake life. If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but do not pump the brakes.
Remember: ABS does not change the time needed to get a foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, there will not be enough time to apply the brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
The ST ABILITRAK NOT READY message may be displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC) and the T raction Control System (TCS)/StabiliT rak warning light on the instrument panel cluster comes on after first driving the vehicle and exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h) for 30 seconds.
T o turn the system off or on, press and release this button located in front of the shift lever . TCS automatically comes on whenever the vehicle is started. T o limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, always leave the system turned on.
Steering Power Steering If power steering assist is lost because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, the vehicle can be steered but it will take more effort. Magnetic Speed V ariable Assist Steering System This system continuously adjusts the effort felt when steering at all vehicle speeds.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, it can be turned a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly , and just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have avoided the object.
Passing Passing another vehicle on a two-lane road can be dangerous. T o reduce the risk of danger while passing: . Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for situations that might affect a successful pass. If in doubt, wait. . W atch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines that could indicate a turn or an intersection.
It is important to slow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited. While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking, including reducing vehicle speed by shifting to a lower gear .
Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle traction and affect your ability to stop and accelerate. Always drive slower in these types of driving conditions and avoid driving through large puddles and deep ‐ standing or flowing water .
Before Leaving on a Long T rip T o prepare your vehicle for a long trip, consider having it serviced by your dealer before departing. Things to check on your own include: . Windshield Washer Fluid: Reservoir full? Windows clean — inside and outside? .
Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or through mountains is different than driving on flat or rolling terrain. Tips for driving in these conditions include: . Keep the vehicle serviced and in good shape. . Check all fluid levels and brakes, tires, cooling system, and transmission.
Winter Driving Driving on Snow or Ice Drive carefully when there is snow or ice between the tires and the road, creating less traction or grip. Wet ice can occur at about 0°C (32°F) when freezing rain begins to fall, resulting in even less traction.
Blizzard Conditions Being stuck in snow can be in a serious situation. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby . If possible, use the Roadside Service on page 8 ‑ 7 . T o get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe: . T urn on the Hazard Warning Flashers on page 4 ‑ 3 .
Repeat this until help arrives but only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold. Moving about to keep warm also helps. If it takes some time for help to arrive, now and then when you run the engine, push the accelerator pedal slightly so the engine runs faster than the idle speed.
Loading the V ehicle It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry . This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory ‐ i nstalled options.
The T ire and Loading Information label also shows the tire size of the original equipment tires (C) and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D). For more information on tires and inflation see Tires on page 6 ‑ 50 and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6 ‑ 59 .
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
Example 2 Item Description T otal A V ehicle Capacity Weight for Example 2 = 1,000 lbs (453 kg) B Subtract Occupant Weight @ 150 lbs (68 kg) × 5 = 750 lbs (340 kg) C Available Cargo Weight = 250 lbs .
positions. The combined weight of the driver , passengers, and cargo should never exceed your vehicle's capacity weight. Certification Label A vehicle specific Certification label is attached to the rear edge of the driver's door . This label shows the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called the Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
Notice : Overloadin g the vehicle may cause damage. Repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty . Do not overload the vehicle. If you put things inside your vehicle, like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else, they will go as fast as the vehicle goes.
T owing T owing Y our V ehicle Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if the disabled vehicle must be towed. See Roadside Service on page 8 ‑ 7 . T o tow the vehicle behind another vehicle for recreational purposes (such as behind a motorhome), see “ Recreational V ehicle T owing ” following.
Dinghy T owing Notice: If the vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground, the drivetrain components could be damaged. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty . Do not tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. The vehicle was not designed to be towed with all four wheels on the ground.
5. Remove the key from the ignition. 6. Secure the vehicle to the dolly . 7. Release the parking brake. T owing a T railer The Cadillac Professional V ehicle cannot tow a trailer . { W ARNING: The driver can lose control when pulling a trailer if the correct equipment is not used or the vehicle is not driven properly .
Pulling A T railer Here are some important points: . There are many different laws, including speed limit restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure the rig will be legal, not only where you live but also where you will be driving. A good source for this information can be state or provincial police.
Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming only the driver is in the tow vehicle and it has all the required trailering equipment. The weight of additional optional equipment, passengers and cargo in the tow vehicle must be subtracted from the maximum trailer weight.
Hitches It is important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are a few reasons why the right hitch is needed. Here are some rules to follow: . The rear bumper on the vehicle is not intended for hitches.
Driving with a T railer T owing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Get to know the rig before setting out for the open road. Get acquainted with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer .
T urn Signals When T owing a T railer The arrows on the instrument panel flash whenever signaling a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up, the trailer lamps also flash, telling other drivers the vehicle is turning, changing lanes or stopping.
Leaving After Parking on a Hill 1. Apply and hold the brake pedal while you: . start the engine, . shift into a gear , and . release the parking brake. 2. Let up on the brake pedal. 3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks. 4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.

Automatic T ransmission Fluid When to Check and Change Automatic T ransmission Fluid A good time to check the automatic transmission fluid level is when the engine oil is changed.
Checking the Fluid Level Prepare the vehicle as follows: 1. Park the vehicle on a level place. Keep the engine running. 2. With the parking brake applied, place the shift lever in P (Park). 3. With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift lever through each gear range, pausing for about three seconds in each range.
4. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower level. The fluid level must be in the cross-hatched area. 5. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the dipstick back in all the way and turn the handle clockwise. 6. Reinstall the engine air cleaner/filter assembly .
Cooling System The cooling system allows the engine to maintain the correct working temperature. 4.6L L37 Engine shown, 4.6L LD8 Engine similar 6-24.
A. Coolant Surge T ank with Pressure Cap B. Electric Engine Cooling Fans { W ARNING: An electric engine cooling fan under the hood can start up even when the engine is not running and can cause injury . Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from any underhood electric fan.
Engine Coolant The cooling system in the vehicle is filled with DEX-COOL ® engine coolant. This coolant is designed to remain in the vehicle for five years or 150,000 miles (240 000 km), whichever occurs first. The following explains the cooling system and how to check and add coolant when it is low .
Checking Coolant The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking the coolant level. Check to see if coolant is visible in the coolant recovery tank. If the coolant inside the coolant recovery tank is boiling, do not do anything else until it cools down.
{ W ARNING: Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system can blow out and burn you badly . They are under pressure, and if you turn the surge tank pressure cap — even a little — they can come out at high speed. Never turn the cap when the cooling system, including the surge tank pressure cap, is hot.
4.6L L37 Engine shown, 4.6L LD8 Engine similar 4. With the coolant surge tank cap off, start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine cooling fans. By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant surge tank may be lower .
Y ou may decide not to lift the hood when this warning appears, but instead get service help right away . See Roadside Service on page 8 ‑ 7 . If you do decide to lift the hood, make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Then check to see if the engine cooling fans are running.
If No Steam Is Coming From The Engine Compartment If an engine overheat warning is displayed but no steam can be seen or heard, the problem may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot when the vehicle: . Climbs a long hill on a hot day .
Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode If an overheated engine condition exists and the message ENGINE OVERHEA TED STOP ENGINE is displayed, an overheat protection mode which alternates firing groups of cylinders helps prevent engine damage. In this mode, you will notice a loss in power and engine performance.
How to Check Power Steering Fluid T o check the power steering fluid: 1. T urn the key off and let the engine compartment cool down. 2. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean. 3. Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. 4. Replace the cap and completely tighten it.

Brakes Brake Fluid The brake master cylinder reservoir is filled with DOT 3 brake fluid. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6 ‑ 14 for reservoir location and access. There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in the reservoir might go down: .
What to Add Use only new DOT 3 brake fluid from a sealed container . See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7 ‑ 9 . Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area around the cap before removing it. This helps keep dirt from entering the reservoir .
Brake Wear This vehicle has disc brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound can come and go or be heard all the time the vehicle is moving, except when applying the brake pedal firmly .
Replacing Brake System Parts The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
{ W ARNING: A battery that is not properly vented can let sulfuric acid fumes into the area under the rear seat cushion. These fumes can damage the rear seat safety belt systems. Y ou might not be able to see this damage and the safety belts might not provide the protection needed in a crash.
V ehicle Storage { W ARNING: Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas that can explode. Y ou can be badly hurt if you are not careful. See Jump Starting on page 6 ‑ 40 for tips on working around a battery without getting hurt. Infrequent Usage: Remove the black, negative ( − ) cable from the battery to keep the battery from running down.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are not touching each other . If they are, it could cause a ground connection you do not want. Y ou would not be able to start your vehicle and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems.
Y ou will not see the battery of your vehicle under the hood. It is located under the rear passenger's seat. Y ou will not need to access the battery for jump starting. The remote terminals are for that purpose. { W ARNING: An electric fan can start up even when the engine is not running and can injure you.
5. Check that the jumper cables do not have loose or missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could be damaged too. Before you connect the cables, here are some basic things you should know . Positive (+) will go to positive (+) or to a remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
Notice: If the jumper cables are connected or removed in the wrong order , electrical shorting may occur and damage the vehicle. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty . Always connect and remove the jumper cables in the correct order , making sure that the cables do not touch each other or other metal.

T o remove and replace the wiper blade element: 1. The wiper blade element has two notches at one end which are engaged by the bottom claw set of the wiper blade. At the notched end of the wiper blade, pull the wiper blade element from the wiper blade assembly .
Tires Y our new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by a leading tire manufacturer . If you ever have questions about your tire warranty and where to obtain service, see your vehicle W arranty booklet for details. For additional information refer to the tire manufacturer .
Tire Sidewall Labeling Useful information about a tire is molded into its sidewall. Passenger Car Tire Example (A) Tire Size : The tire size is a combination of letters and numbers used to define a particular tire's width, height, aspect ratio, construction type and service description.
(E) Tire Ply Material : The type of cord and number of plies in the sidewall and under the tread. (F) Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) : Tire manufacturers are required to grade tires based on three performance factors: treadwear , traction and temperature resistance.
(B) Tire Ply Material : The type of cord and number of plies in the sidewall and under the tread. (C) Tire Identification Number (TIN) : The Tire Identification Number (TIN). The TIN shows the manufacturer and plant code, tire size, and date the tire was manufactured.
Light T ruck Tir e Example (A) Tire Size : The tire size code is a combination of letters and numbers used to define a particular tire's width, height, aspect ratio, construction type and service description. See the “ T ire Size ” illustration later in this section for more detail.
(F) Tire Ply Material : The type of cord and number of plies in the sidewall and under the tread. (G) Single Tire Maximum Load : Maximum load that can be carried and the maximum pressure needed to support that load when used as a single. For information on recommended tire pressure see Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6 ‑ 59 .
Tire T erminology 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 pounds per square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa). Accessory Weight : This means the combined weight of optional accessories.
Intended Outboard Sidewall : The side of an asymmetrical tire, that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle. Kilopascal (kPa) : The metric unit for air pressure. Light T ruck (L T ‐ Metric) Tire : A tire used on light duty trucks and some multipurpose passenger vehicles.
Radial Ply Tire : A pneumatic tire in which the ply cords that extend to the beads are laid at 90 degrees to the centerline of the tread. Rim : A metal support for a tire and upon which the tire beads are seated. Sidewall : The portion of a tire between the tread and the bead.
Inflation - Tire Pressure T ires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively . Notice: Do not let anyone tell you that under ‐ inflation or over ‐ inflation is all right. It is not. If your tires do not have enough air (under ‐ inflation), you can get the following: .
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check tire pressure. Y ou cannot tell if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they are under ‐ inflated. Check the tire's inflation pressure when the tires are cold.
High-Speed Operation { W ARNING: Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h (100 mph) or higher , puts an additional strain on tires. Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive heat build up and can cause sudden tire failure. Y ou could have a crash and you or others could be killed.
Tire Pressure Monitor System The T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your vehicle's tires and transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada See Radio Frequency Statement on page 8 ‑ 20 for information regarding Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and RSS-210/21 1 of Industry Canada. Tire Pressure Monitor Operation This vehicle may have a T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
A T ire and Loading Information label, attached to your vehicle, shows the size of your vehicle's original equipment tires and the correct inflation pressure for your vehicle's tires when they are cold. See Loading the V ehicle on page 5 ‑ 18 , for an example of the Tire and Loading Information label and its location on your vehicle.
. One or more TPMS sensors are missing or damaged. The DIC message and the TPMS malfunction light should go off when the TPMS sensors are installed and the sensor matching process is performed successfully . See your dealer/retailer for service. . Replacement tires or wheels do not match your vehicle's original equipment tires or wheels.
The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below: 1. Set the parking brake. 2. T urn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the engine off. 3. Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter's lock and unlock buttons at the same time for approximately five seconds.
Tire Inspection and Rotation We recommend that you regularly inspect your vehicle's tires, including the spare tire, for signs of wear or damage. See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 6 ‑ 69 for more information. T ires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km).
Five ‐ Tire Rotation Pattern A five ‐ tire rotation pattern may be used for your professional vehicle, if it has a full ‐ size spare tire and wheel assembly that matches the original equipment tires and wheels in size, type and brand. The correct five ‐ tire rotation pattern is shown.
When It Is Time for New T ires V arious factors, such as maintenance, temperatures, driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road conditions influence when you need new tires. One way to tell when it is time for new tires is to check the treadwear indicators, which will appear when your tires have only 1/16 inch (1.
Buying New Tires GM has developed and matched specific tires for your vehicle. The original equipment tires installed on your vehicle, when it was new , were designed to meet General Motors Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) system rating.
{ W ARNING: If you use bias-ply tires on the vehicle, the wheel rim flanges could develop cracks after many miles of driving. A tire and/or wheel could fail suddenly , causing a crash.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: T readwear 200 T raction AA T emperature A.
T raction – AA, A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavemen t as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
Wheel Replacement Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the wheel leaks air , replace it. Some aluminum wheels can sometimes be repaired.
Notice: The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance to the body and chassis. If your vehicle is a professional model, the wheels have a unique offset and bolt hole diameter .
If a Tire Goes Flat It is unusual for a tire to blowout while you are driving, especially if you maintain your vehicle's tires properly . If air goes out of a tire, it is much more likely to leak out slowly .
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit { W ARNING: Idling a vehicle in an enclosed area with poor ventilation is dangerous. Engine exhaust may enter the vehicle. Engine exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
Read and follow all of the tire sealant and compressor kit instructions. The kit includes: A. On/Off Button B. Selector Switch (Sealant/Air or Air Only) C. Pressure Relief Button D. Pressure Gauge E. Air Only Hose (Black) F . Sealant/Air Hose (Clear) G.
Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit to T emporarily Seal and Inflate a Punctured Tire Follow the directions closely for correct sealant usage. When using the tire sealant and compressor kit during cold temperatures, warm the kit in a heated environment for 5 minutes.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using the air compressor . 8. T urn the selector switch (B) clockwise to the Sealant + Air position. 9. Press the on/off (A) button to turn the tire sealant and compressor kit on. The compressor will inject sealant and air into the tire.
16. If the flat tire was able to inflate to the recommended inflation pressure, remove the maximum speed label from the sealant canister and place it in a highly visible location. The label is a reminder not to exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until the damaged tire is repaired or replaced.
Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit without Sealant to Inflate a Tire (Not Punctured) T o use the air compressor to inflate a tire with air only and not sealant: Always do a safety check first. See If a Tire Goes Flat on page 6 ‑ 76 . 1. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit from its storage location.
9. Press the on/off (A) button to turn the compressor on. The compressor will inflate the tire with air only . 10. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure using the pressure gauge (D). The recommended inflation pressure can be found on the Tire and Loading Information label.
3. Pull up on the canister (A) to remove it. 4. Replace with a new canister which is available from your dealer . 5. Push the new canister into place. 6. Screw the connector (B) to the canister (A). 7. Slide the plastic cover back on. Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit Storage The tire sealant and compressor kit is located in the trunk.
Changing a Flat Tire If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. See Hazard Warning Flashers on page 4 ‑ 3 . { W ARNING: Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you or other people.
Removing the Spare Tire and T ools The equipment needed is in the trunk. T o access the equipment: 1. Open the trunk. See T runk on page 3 ‑ 12 for more information. 2. Press the area at the front of the handle located on the cover so that the back edge raises.
4. T urn the wing nut to remove the retainer that holds the wrench and jack. 5. Remove the wheel wrench, jack and spare tire from the trunk. See Spare Tire on page 6 ‑ 95 for more information. The tools to be used are the jack (A) and the wheel wrench (B).
Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire 1. Do a safety check before proceeding. See Changing a Flat Tire on page 6 ‑ 85 for more information. 2. For models having aluminum wheels with a center wheel cover , use the flat end of the wheel wrench to gently pry the wheel covers off.
4. Find the jacking location from the diagram above and use the corresponding cutouts located in the plastic molding. The front location is (A) 8.5 inches (21 cm) from the rear edge of the front wheel well, and the rear location (B) is 3.5 inches (8.5 cm) from the front edge of the rear wheel well.
5. T urn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the jack lift head until the jack fits under the vehicle. 6. Raise the jack until the metal flange fits firmly into the channel of the jack head. 7. Put the spare tire near you. 8. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack handle clockwise.
10. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel bolts, mounting surfaces, and spare wheel. { W ARNING: Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose after time. The wheel could come off and cause an accident.
13. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely . { W ARNING: Wheel nuts that are improperly or incorrectly tightened can cause the wheels to become loose or come off. The wheel nuts should be tightened with a torque wrench to the proper torque specification after replacing.
5-Wheel Nuts 8-Wheel Nuts 14. T ighten the wheel nuts firmly in a crisscross sequence as shown. If your vehicle is equipped with wheel nut covers, screw the nut covers on with your fingers, then tighten one-quarter turn with the wheel wrench.
