GENERAL MOTORS, GM, the GM Emblem, HUMMER, the name HUMMER, H2 and the H2 Design are registered trademarks of General Motors Corporation.

This manual includes the latest information at the time it was printed. We reserve the right to make changes after that time without further notice. For vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada, substitute the name “General Motors of Canada Limited” for HUMMER whenever it appears in this manual.

This manual describes features that may be available in this model, but your vehicle may not have all of them. For example, more than one entertainment system may be offered or your vehicle may have been ordered without a front passenger or rear seats.

Keep this manual in the vehicle, so it will be there if it is needed while on the road. If the vehicle is sold, leave this manual in the vehicle.

How to Use This Manual

Many people read the owner manual from beginning to end when they ﬁrst receive their new vehicle. If this is done, it can help you learn about the features and controls for the vehicle. Pictures and words work together in the owner manual to explain things.

Index

A good place to quickly locate information about the vehicle is the Index in the back of the manual. It is an alphabetical list of what is in the manual and the page number where it can be found.

Safety Warnings and Symbols

There are a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore the warning.

{CAUTION:

These mean there is something that could hurt you or other people.

In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions. If you do not, you or others could be hurt.

You will also ﬁnd a circle with a slash through it in this book. This safety symbol means “Do Not,” “Do Not do this” or “Do Not let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Vehicle Symbols

Also, in this manual you will ﬁnd these notices:

Notice: These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle.

A notice tells about something that can damage the vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could be costly. But the notice will tell what to do to help avoid the damage.

When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in different words.

There are also warning labels on the vehicle. They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

The vehicle has components and labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown along with the text describing the operation or information relating to a speciﬁc component, control, message, gage, or indicator.

If you need help ﬁguring out a speciﬁc name of a component, gage, or indicator, reference the following topics:

• Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1

• Features and Controls in Section 2

• Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3

• Climate Controls in Section 3

• Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators in

Section 3

• Audio System(s) in Section 3

• Engine Compartment Overview in Section 5

These are some examples of symbols that may be found on the vehicle:

Front Seats

Power Seats

The power seat controls are located on the outboard edge of the front seats.

To adjust the seat, do any of the following:

• Move the seat forward or rearward by sliding

the horizontal control forward or rearward.

• Raise or lower the front part of the seat

cushion by moving the front of the horizontal control up or down.

• Raise or lower the rear part of the seat

cushion by moving the rear of the horizontal control up or down.

• Raise or lower the entire seat by moving the

entire horizontal control up or down.

• Use the vertical control to recline the seatback.

See Power Reclining Seatbacks on page 12.

Your seats may have a memory function which allows seat settings to be saved and recalled. See Memory Seat and Mirrors on page 10 for more information.

Power Lumbar

Your vehicle’s seats have power lumbar.

You can increase or decrease lumbar support in an area of the lower seatback with this control, located on the outboard sides of the front seat(s).

To increase support, press and hold the front of the control. To decrease support, press and hold the rear of the control. Let go of the control when the lower seatback reaches the desired level of support.

You can also reshape the side wing area of the lower seatback for more lateral support.

To increase support, press and hold the top of the control. To decrease support, press and hold the bottom of the control. Let go of the control when the lower seatback reaches the desired level of support.

Your vehicle may have a memory function which allows seat settings to be saved and recalled. See Memory Seat and Mirrors on page 10 for more information.

Heated Seats

If your vehicle has this feature, the buttons are located on the front doors. The engine must be running for the heated seats to work.

To heat the entire seat, press the horizontal button with the heated seat and seatback symbol. Press the button to cycle through the temperature settings of high, medium and low and to turn the heated seat off. Indicator lights will come on to designate the level of heat selected: three for high, two for medium, and one for low.

To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with the heated seatback symbol. An indicator light on the seatback button will come on to designate that only the seatback is being heated.

Additional presses of the seatback button will cycle through the heat levels for the seatback only. Press the horizontal button again to heat the whole seat.

The heated seats will be canceled after the ignition is turned off. If you still want to use the heated seat feature after you restart your vehicle, you will need to press the heated seat button again.

Memory Seat and Mirrors

If your vehicle has this feature, the controls for the memory function are located on the driver’s door.

These buttons are used to program and recall memory settings for the driver’s seat and both the driver’s and passenger’s outside mirrors. The settings for these features can be saved for up to two drivers.

To store the memory settings, do the following:

Easy Exit Seat

1. While the vehicle is in PARK (P), adjust the driver’s seat, including the seatback recliner, lumbar, and side wing area, and both outside mirrors to your preference.

2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 button of the memory control for three seconds. A double chime will sound to let you know that the position has been stored.

To repeat the procedure for a second driver, follow the preceding steps, but press the other numbered memory control button.

Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while the vehicle is in PARK (P), a single chime will sound and the memory position will be recalled.

To stop recall movement of the memory seat feature at any time, press one of the memory buttons or power seat controls.

The controls for this memory function are located on the driver’s door.

B(Easy Exit Seat): This button is used to

program and recall the desired driver’s seat position when exiting or entering the vehicle. The seat position can be saved for up to two drivers.

To store the seat exit position, do the following:

1. Press and release the 1 or 2 button. The seat will move to the stored memory position.

2. Adjust the seat to the desired exit position.

3. Press and hold the exit button of the memory control for three seconds. A double chime will sound to let you know that the position has been stored for the selected button 1 or 2.

To repeat the procedure for a second driver, follow the preceding steps, but press the other numbered memory control button.

To use the seat exit position, do one of the following:

• Press the exit button on the memory control,

• If this feature is activated in the DIC, removing

the key from the ignition will move the seat to the exit position.

See “Easy Exit Seat” under DIC Vehicle Customization on page 234 for more information on activating this feature in the DIC.

Power Reclining Seatbacks

The front seats have power reclining seatbacks. The control used to operate the seatbacks are located on the outboard side of the seats.

• To recline the seatback, press the control

toward the rear of the vehicle.

• To raise the seatback, press the control

toward the front of the vehicle.

{CAUTION:

Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts cannot do their job when you are reclined like this.

The shoulder belt cannot do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.

The lap belt cannot do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.

For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.

Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving.

Head Restraints

Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint is at the same height as the top of the occupant’s head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.

Pull the head restraint up to raise it. Push the head restraint down to lower it.

Each front head restraint can also be tilted forward to four positions by pulling on it. A click will sound after each tilt position is reached. Pull the head restraint forward, past the last position, to release it to the upright position.

The rear seat head restraints are also adjustable up and down, but they do not tilt.

Rear Seats

Heated Seats

60/40 Split Bench Seat

The 60/40 split bench seats can be folded to give you more cargo space.

If your vehicle has this feature, the buttons used to control this feature are located on the back of the center console. The engine must be running for the heated seat feature to work.

To heat the seat cushion, press the button to cycle through the temperature settings of high and low. Press the button a third time to turn the feature off. An indicator light will glow for each heat setting when the feature is operating.

The heated rear seats will shut off automatically when the ignition is turned off.

Folding the Seatbacks

The seatbacks are equipped with rearward folding head restraints (SUV only). When the seatback is being folded down, the head restraint will automatically fold rearward.

To fold the rear seat, do the following:

1. Make sure that nothing is under or in front of

the seat.

2. Pull up on the strap loop located at the rear of the seat cushion and pull the seat cushion up and fold it forward.

Notice: Folding a rear 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 rear seat.

3. Pull the seatback forward and fold it down until it is ﬂat.

If the seatback cannot fold ﬂat because it interferes with the cushion, try moving the front seat forward and/or bringing the front seatback more upright.

4. Repeat the steps for the other half of the 60/40 split bench seat.

Returning the Seats to an Upright Position

{CAUTION:

If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked.

{CAUTION:

A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.

To return the seat(s) to the upright position, do the following:

1. Lift the seatback up and push it rearward all the way.

2. Lower the seat cushion until it latches into position.

3. Pull forward on the seatback and up on the seat cushion to make sure the seat is securely in place.

4. Return the head restraints (SUV only) to the upright position.

Third Row Seat (SUV)

Entering or Exiting the Third Row Seat

If your vehicle has a third row seat, you must fold the second row seat down before entering or exiting the third row. See “Folding the Seatbacks” under 60/40 Split Bench Seat on page 15 earlier in this section for instructions.

The third row seatback can be folded and the entire seat can be tilted or removed from the vehicle.

Folding the Seatback

To fold the seatback, do the following:

1. Pull up on the release lever labeled 1, located on the rear of the seatback, and push the seatback forward.

Unfolding the Seatback

{CAUTION:

If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked.

To return the seatback to the passenger position, do the following:

1. Pull up on the release lever labeled 1 and then pull up on the seatback until the seatback locks into the upright position.

2. Push forward on the seatback to make sure it is locked into position.

Tilting the Seat

1. Fold the seatback forward using the instructions listed previously.

2. Unlatch the seat from the ﬂoor by pulling up on the lever labeled 2, located on the rear of the seat.

3. Lift the rear of the seat up from the ﬂoor and push it forward until it locks into place. You will not be able to unlatch the seat from the ﬂoor unless the seatback is folded down.

The seat will now remain locked in the upright position.

Returning the Seat from a Tilted to an Upright Position

{CAUTION:

If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked.

To return the seatback to an upright position, do the following:

1. Pull the lever labeled 3 toward you.

2. While still holding lever 3 toward you, grasp the top of the seat and pull it toward you slightly.

3. Let go of lever 3 and pull the seat completely down.

4. Push down on the seat ﬁrmly. Try pulling it up to be sure it is locked into place.

5. Pull up on the release lever labeled 1 and then pull up on the seatback until the seatback locks into the upright position.

Removing the Seat

To remove the seat, do the following:

1. Open the liftgate.

2. Fold the seatback forward onto the seat cushion by using the lever labeled 1. The seat cannot be removed unless the seatback is folded.

3. To unlatch the rear of the seat from the ﬂoor, pull up on the release lever labeled 2, at the rear of the seat, and lift the rear of the seat up from the ﬂoor.

4. Squeeze the release handle while pulling the seat out of the slots on the ﬂoor.

5. While holding the rear of the seat up, roll the seat out of the vehicle.

Installing the Seat

{CAUTION:

If the seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatback to be sure it is locked.

{CAUTION:

A seat that is not locked into place properly can move around in a collision or sudden stop. People in the vehicle could be injured. Be sure to lock the seat into place properly when installing it.

To install the seat, do the following:

1. While holding the rear of the seat up, slide the front wheels into the slots on the ﬂoor. The front latches should lock into place. If the latches do not lock, try tilting the rear of the seat upward.

2. Once the latches are engaged, pull up on the lever labeled 3 to allow the seat to drop into place.

3. Pull up on the lever labeled 1 to return the seatback to its upright position.

4. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked into place. The seatback cannot be raised to the upright position unless the seat is secured to the ﬂoor.

Safety Belts

Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone

This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts.

{CAUTION:

Do not let anyone ride where he or she cannot wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash and you are not wearing a safety belt, your injuries can be much worse. You can hit things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be, if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.

{CAUTION:

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.

Your vehicle has a light that comes on as a reminder to buckle up. See Safety Belt

Reminder Light on page 206.

In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here is why: They work.

You never know if you will be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you do not know if it will be a bad one.

A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up, a person would not survive. But most crashes are in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed.

After more than 40 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter... a lot!

Why Safety Belts Work

When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes.

Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a seat on wheels.

Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The

rider does not stop.

The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield...

or the instrument panel...

or the safety belts!

With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That is why safety belts make such good sense.

Questions and Answers About Safety Belts

Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after an

accident if I am wearing a safety belt?

A: You could be — whether you are wearing a

safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you are upside down. And your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.

Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I

have to wear safety belts?

A: Airbags are supplemental systems only; so

they work with safety belts — not instead of them. Every airbag system ever offered for sale has required the use of safety belts. Even if you are in a vehicle that has airbags, you still have to buckle up to get the most protection. That is true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and other collisions.

Q: If I am a good driver, and I never drive far

from home, why should I wear safety belts?

A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you are

in an accident — even one that is not your fault — you and your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver does not protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers.

Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph (65 km/h).

Safety belts are for everyone.

How to Wear Safety Belts Properly

This part is only for people of adult size.

Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding in your vehicle, see

Older Children on page 46 or Infants and Young Children on page 49. Follow those rules for

everyone’s protection.

First, you will want to know which restraint systems your vehicle has.

We will start with the driver position.

Driver Position

Lap-Shoulder Belt

The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear it properly.

1. Close and lock the door.

2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see how, see “Seats” in the Index.

3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not let it get twisted.

The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly.

4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. If the belt is not long enough, see Safety Belt Extender on page 45.

Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

5. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt.

It may be necessary to pull stitching on the safety belt through the latch plate to fully tighten the lap belt on smaller occupants.
