1 A NOTE ON CHILD SAFETY: Always use safety belts and the correct child restraint for your child’s age and size. Even in vehicles
equipped with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant,
child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active air bag. See
the Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information. 2 Call 1-888-4ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827), visit
onstar.com and see page 7 within this catalog for details and system limitations. 3 XM is available only in the 48 contiguous
United States. Required $12.95 monthly subscription sold separately after three trial months. All fees and programming subject to
change. For more information, visit gm.xmradio.com. 4 The Bluetooth word mark is a registered trademark owned by Bluetooth
SIG, Inc. and any use of such mark by Chevrolet is under license. Go to gm.com/bluetooth to find out which Bluetooth phones
are compatible with the vehicle. 5 Use only GM-approved tire and wheel combinations. For important tire and wheel
information, go to gmaccessorieszone.com or see your dealer for details.
