environment-friendly.
Production waste is recycled, with
some of the waste material recovered for re-use. Water requirements have been reduced to help
conserve natural resources.
All information, illustrations and
specifications in this manual are
based on the latest product information available at the time of
printing. We reserve the right to
make changes in the product without further notice.
The illustrations throughout the
manual are typical and are not
intended to be exact representations of any part of your vehicle.
Please be aware that the vehicle
you purchased may not be
equipped with each option that is
explained in this manual.
This Owner's Manual is supplemented by a "Maintenance Schedule and Warranty and Owner
Assistance Information" booklet.

FOR CONTINUING SATISFACTION AND QUALITY, KEEP YOUR
GM VEHICLE ALL GM. GENERAL
MOTORS PARTS ARE IDENTIFIED
BY ONE OF THESE TRADEMARKS:
Use this manual to learn about the
features of your new vehicle and
how they operate.
The manual is intended to be used
as a reference guide to help you to
quickly identify and use the various
features of your vehicle. For this
reason, the manual is organized
according to feature location as
opposed to feature operation.
It also includes some very important safety and maintenance information and even deals with some
problems you may have while
driving.
This manual is divided into five
sections:
• Section 1: Instrumentation
and Controls
To get a general understanding of
how the content of this manual is
organized, imagine yourself sitting
in the driver's seat. Your attention
is first focused on the instrument
panel directly in front of you, then
up and out to the mirrors,
windows and doors and continuing back around the vehicle to the
rear cargo area, then up to the
overhead area and the roof. The
content of this manual is organized to follow this order. The vast
majority of your vehicle's instruments and controls are built into
these areas, and are discussed first
in this manual, in Section 1.

Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION AND NOTICE BOXES
CAUTIONS and NOTICES alert you
to conditions that may result in
injury, or that may damage your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Means: This can hurt people.
NOTICE
Means: This can damage your
vehicle.
Seating Position
CAUTION
Do not adjust the driver's seat
when the vehicle is moving.
The seat could jerk and cause a
loss of control.
Sitting in a reclined position
when your vehicle is in motion
can be dangerous. Even if you
buckle up, your safety belts
can't do their job when the
seatback is excessively reclined.
Safety Belts
CAUTION
Always wear your safety belt. Be
sure it is adjusted properly at all
times.
Do not let anyone ride where
they cannot wear a safety belt
properly. If you are in a crash
and you are not wearing a safety belt, you can be seriously
injured or killed. In the same
crash, you might not be injured
if you are buckled up. Always
fasten your safety belt, and
check that your passengers'
belts are fastened properly, too.
. . . 6
AKENG45_STS Page 7 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
CAUTION (Continued)
Wearing a safety belt improperly could cause serious injury.
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 to your abdomen. This
could cause serious or even fatal
injuries.
Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
Wear your belt fitted closely
against the body. Do not wear
your shoulder belt under your
arm. Make sure the belt is not
twisted across your body.
You could be seriously injured if
your belt is buckled in the
wrong place. Always buckle
your belt into the buckle nearest you.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION (Continued)
A safety belt must be used by
only one person at a time. Do
not allow two children to share
the same belt.
Accident statistics show that
children are safer if they are
restrained in the rear seat.
7 . . .
AKENG45_STS Page 8 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
A pregnant woman should
wear a lap-shoulder belt, and
the lap portion should be worn
as low as possible throughout
the pregnancy.
Air Bags
CAUTION
Both the safety belt restraint
system and the air bag restraint
system are designed to best
protect adults.
Anyone who is up against, or
very close to, an inflating air
bag could be seriously injured
or killed.
CAUTION (Continued)
Be sure that if children are too
small to be well restrained by
the safety belt system, that they
are secured in an appropriate
child restraint.
The presence of an airbag is not
a substitute for a safety belt and
is only effective in conjunction
with the safety belts.
. . . 8
AKENG45_STS Page 9 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
CAUTION (Continued)
Air bags are designed to be
used with the safety belts. Even
with an air bag, if you are in a
crash and not wearing a safety
belt, your injuries could be
much worse.
If you are too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously
injure you. Safety belts help
keep you in position in case an
air bag inflates in a collision.
The driver should sit as far back
as possible while still able to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The path of an inflating air bag
must be kept clear of any
objects at all times.
CAUTION (Continued)
When an air bag inflates, it
leaves dust in the air. This dust
could cause breathing problems for people with a history of
asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone in
the vehicle should get out as
soon as it is safe to do so. If you
are unable to get out of the
vehicle, then open a window or
door.
Important Safety Precautions
Children and Safety Restraints
CAUTION
Never hold a baby in your arms
while riding in a vehicle. During
a crash a baby will become so
heavy you can't hold it. For
example, in a crash at only 40
km/h, a 5.5 kg baby will
suddenly become a 110 kg
force on your arms. The baby
would be almost impossible to
hold. Secure the baby in an
infant restraint.
9 . . .
AKENG45_STS Page 10 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
A rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat could be pushed
into the seatback by the front
passenger's air bag if it inflates.
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured if this happens. In vehicles with the front passenger's
inflatable restraint system,
always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.
. . . 10
CAUTION
Infants who must use rearfacing child restraints cannot
ride safely in passenger air bagequipped vehicles that do not
have rear seats.
If, however, you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front passenger seat, be
sure to move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go.
Leaving Your Vehicle
CAUTION
Avoid leaving your vehicle while
the engine is running.
Do not leave children in the
vehicle with the ignition key.
They could operate the power
windows or other controls and
could even make the vehicle
move. A child or others could
be injured or even killed.

Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
It is very dangerous to leave
children inside the vehicle for
any extended period of time especially in hot weather. When
you leave the vehicle, take your
children with you.
Vehicles with Automatic
Transmissions
CAUTION (Continued)
If your vehicle is equipped with
an automatic transmission,
observe the following precautions to ensure proper and safe
operation. Otherwise, the vehicle may move suddenly and/or
cause an accident.
CAUTION (Continued)
• Be sure the shift lever is in P
(Park) and the parking brake
is firmly applied when you
leave your vehicle.
• Keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal and do not race
the engine when shifting out
of P (Park) or N (Neutral).
• Do not shift into
(Reverse) when the engine
is racing.
• Do not shift into
while the vehicle is moving.
Read Section 3, "Starting and
Operating Instructions", for
more information.

Important Safety Precautions
Exhaust Warnings
CAUTION
• Things that can burn can
touch hot exhaust parts
under your vehicle and ignite.
Don't park over papers,
leaves, dry grass or other
things that can burn.
• Engine exhaust can kill. It
contains carbon monoxide
(CO) gas, which you can't see
or smell. It can cause unconsciousness and death.
. . . 12
CAUTION (Continued)
• Do not idle the engine in a
closed-in place, such as the
garage. Carbon monoxide
(CO) gas could get into your
vehicle.
• Idling the engine with the
windows closed and the air
conditioning fan off (if
equipped), may allow dangerous exhaust fumes into
your vehicle.
CAUTION (Continued)
• It can also be very dangerous
to drive with the trunk, rear
windows, hatch or rear doors
open. If you must drive with
one of these open or with
their seal broken, make sure
all other windows are closed
and turn the fan on to the
highest speed using any setting that brings in outside air.
Doing this will force outside
air into the vehicle.
• Make sure that no window,
door, trunk or hatch at the
rear of the vehicle is open if
you are pulling a trailer.
AKENG45_STS Page 13 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
• Engine exhaust may also be
entering your vehicle if:
– your exhaust system
sounds strange or different
– your vehicle gets rusty
underneath
– your vehicle has been
damaged or improperly
serviced
– the base of your vehicle,
especially your exhaust
pipe, is blocked by snow or
debris
CAUTION (Continued)
If you suspect that exhaust is
entering your vehicle, drive
with all the windows open, turn
the air conditioning (if
equipped) on to any setting
that circulates outside air and
have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
Water and Your Vehicle
CAUTION
After a car wash or driving
through a puddle, the brakes
may not work well. Apply light
pedal pressure until the brakes
work normally.
Do not drive through deep
puddles. If water enters into an
air inlet, it might damage the
engine. If you must drive
through a puddle, drive carefully so as not to allow the water to
splash against the underbody of
the vehicle.
13 . . .
AKENG45_STS Page 14 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
Flowing or rushing water
creates strong forces. If you try
to drive through flowing water,
as you might at a low water
crossing, your vehicle can be
carried away. As little as six
inches of flowing water can
carry away a smaller vehicle. If
this happens, you and other
vehicle occupants could drown.
Don't ignore police warning
signs, and otherwise be very
cautious about trying to drive
through flowing water.
Driving on Hills
CAUTION
If you need to stop on a hill, do
not hold the vehicle there with
the accelerator pedal. This
could damage the transmission.
Apply the brakes to hold the
vehicle in position.
When you are going down a
steep hill, use a lower shift
range, along with the brakes, to
control the vehicle's speed.
Do not coast downhill in
Neutral or with the ignition off.
The brakes could overheat and
you could have an accident.
Vehicle Loading
CAUTION
Do not load your vehicle in
excess of the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating or either Gross
Axle Weight Rating. If you do,
parts on your vehicle could
break and it could change the
way your vehicle handles. Overloading could result in loss of
vehicle control and personal
injury. It can also shorten the
service life of your vehicle.
. . . 14
AKENG45_STS Page 15 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike and injure people
in a sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash. Put things in the cargo
area of your vehicle and try to
spread the weight evenly.
Never stack things inside the
vehicle any higher than the
seatbacks. Do not leave unsecured child restraints inside the
vehicle. Try to secure anything
that is carried inside the vehicle.
Fuel and Other Flammable
Materials
CAUTION
Turn off the engine before
refueling.
When you open the fuel filler
cap, open it slightly at first to
release the pressure inside the
tank, then turn it all the way.
Never fill a portable fuel
container while it is in your
vehicle.
Dispense gasoline only into
approved containers.
Do not smoke while pumping
gasoline.
Do not carry combustible materials, such as gasoline, in the
vehicle.
CAUTION (Continued)
Do not put paper or flammable
items in an ashtray. They may
catch fire from a cigarette.
To allow room for fuel expansion in the fuel tank (caused by
heat from the engine), fill the
tank only until the pump's automatic nozzle shuts off.
15 . . .
AKENG45_STS Page 16 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
Batteries
CAUTION
Vehicle batteries can hurt you.
They contain acid and electricity that can burn and gas that
can explode or ignite. Use care
and follow any applicable
instructions when working near
a battery.
Do not let battery fluid touch
your skin. If you do get it in your
eyes or on your skin, flush the
place with water and get medical help immediately.
Do not use a match or flame
near a vehicle's battery. If you
need more light, use a
flashlight.
CAUTION (Continued)
Every new GM vehicle uses an
AC Delco
no maintenance. However, if
another battery has filler caps,
be sure the right amount of
fluid is there. If it is low, add
water to make sure that there is
no explosive gas present.
®
battery that requires
Towing Your Vehicle
CAUTION
To help avoid injury to you or
others:
• Do not let anyone ride in a
vehicle that is being towed.
• Do not tow faster than safe or
posted speeds.
• Be sure to secure any loose or
damaged parts.
• Never get under a vehicle
after it has been lifted.
• Always use separate safety
chains on each side of the
vehicle.

AKENG45_STS Page 17 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
Engine Compartment
CAUTION
Steam from an overheated
engine can burn you badly.
Stay away from the engine if
you see or hear steam coming
from it.
Be careful when working
around the engine compartment. Some engine parts can
get very hot and could burn
you.
CAUTION (Continued)
Exercise extreme caution
around the electric engine fan.
It sometimes starts by itself,
even when the engine is not
running.
Cooling System
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the
coolant is leaking. If the vehicle
loses all coolant, it could cause
an engine fire and you could be
burned.
Adding only plain water or a
liquid other than the recommended coolant can be
dangerous. The engine could
overheat, but you would not
get the overheat warning. The
engine could catch on fire and
you or others could be burned.
CAUTION
Under some conditions the
ethylene glycol in engine coolant is combustible. To avoid
being burned,
ant on the exhaust system or on
hot engine parts. If you have
any doubt, have this operation
performed by a qualified
technician.
do not spill cool-
17 . . .
AKENG45_STS Page 18 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION (Continued)
Steam and scalding liquids from
a hot cooling system can blow
out and burn you badly. Never
turn the cap when the engine
and cooling system are hot.
Changing a Flat Tire
CAUTION
Changing a tire can cause injury. The vehicle can slip off the
jack and injure you or other
people.
Getting under a vehicle when it
is jacked up is dangerous. If the
vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed.
Never get under a vehicle when
it is supported only by a jack.
CAUTION (Continued)
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on
the parts to which it is fastened,
can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The
wheel could come off and cause
an accident. When you change
a wheel, remove any rust or dirt
from the places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, you could use a
cloth or a paper towel to do
this; but be sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later, if necessary,
to get all the rust or dirt off.
. . . 18
AKENG45_STS Page 19 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
System Problems
CAUTION
Driving with the brake warning
light on can lead to an accident.
Have the brakes checked immediately if the brake warning
light stays on.
Do not keep driving with low oil
pressure. Your engine could
overheat and may catch on fire.
You or others could be burned.
Check the oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle
serviced.
CAUTION
If any warning light on the
instrument panel illuminates
while you are driving, immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place, and follow the instructions in this manual.
If the engine stalls while you are
driving, the power-assisted
brake and steering systems will
not work properly, and braking
and steering will require
substantial effort. Try to pull
over to a safe place before your
vehicle stops.
NOTICE
Additional electronic equipment, such as a CB radio, cellular phone, navigation package
or two-way radio, may interfere
with the operation of your vehicle's engine, radio or other electronic systems and even
damage them. Please consult
with an authorized GM dealer
before installing electronic
equipment.

AKENG45_STS Page 20 Monday, April 28, 2008 11:38 AM
Important Safety Precautions
Additional Safety Cautions
CAUTION
Drinking and driving is very
dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness and
judgment can be affected by
even a small amount of alcohol.
You can have a serious, or even
fatal collision if you drive after
drinking. Please don't drink and
drive or ride with a driver who
has been drinking. Ride home
in a cab or designate a driver
who will not drink.
CAUTION (Continued)
Medical research shows that
alcohol in a person's system can
make crash injuries worse. This
is especially true of injuries to
the brain, spinal cord or heart.
This means that when any
person who has been drinking whether a driver or a passenger
- is in a crash, that person's
chance of being killed or
permanently disabled is higher
than if the person had not been
drinking.
CAUTION
Unlocked doors can be dangerous. Make sure to lock all doors
while riding in the vehicle.
Turn the cruise control switch
off when you are not using it.

Engine Oil Pressure Warning
Light
This light should come on briefly
as you start the engine, as a check
to show you it is working properly.
If it doesn't come on, then have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn
you if there is a problem.
If you have a problem with the oil,
this light may stay on after you
start the engine, or come on while
you are driving. This indicates that
oil is not going through the engine
quickly enough to keep it lubricated. The engine could be low on
oil, or could have some other oil
problem. Have it fixed right away.
Sometimes when the engine is
idling at a stop, the light may blink
on and off. This is normal.
A chime may also sound when the
light comes on.
CAUTION
Do not keep driving with low oil
pressure. Your engine could
overheat and may catch on fire.
You or others could be burned.
Check the oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle
serviced.
NOTICE
Engine damage due to neglected oil problems can be costly to
repair and is not covered by
your warranty.
