and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll
find that pictures and words work together to explain
things.

Safety Warnings and Symbols
You
will find a number
of
safety cautions in this book.
We use a box and the word
CAUTION
to
tell
you about
things that could hurt you
if
you were to ignore the
warning.
-
These mean there
is
something that
could
hurt
you
or
other people.
I
I
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 don’t, you
or others could be hurt.
You
will also find a circle
with a slash through it in
this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,’’
“Don’t do this” or
“Don’t
let
this happen.”
...
Ill
Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these notices:
Notice:
These mean there
is
something that could
damage your vehicle.
A notice will tell you about something that can damage
your vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be
covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.
But the notice will tell you 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.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use
the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
Your vehicle has components and labels that use
symbols instead of text. Symbols, used on your vehicle,
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

Power Reclining Seatbacks
The vertical power seat control described earlier allows
the seatback
to
recline.
But don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your
vehicle
is
moving.
Sitting in a reclined position whel. ;our vehicle
is in motion can be dangerous. Even
if
you
buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job
when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job. In a crash,
you could go into
it,
receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt can’t 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.

Head Restraints
Adjust your head restraint
so
that the top of the restraint
is closest to the top
of
your head. This position
reduces the chance
of
a
neck injury in a crash.

Rear
Seats
Rear Seat Operation
Your vehicle may have a folding rear seat which lets
you fold the seatbacks down for more cargo space.
Pull up on the
loop
located where the seat cushion
meets the seatback to fold the seat cushion up and out
of the way. This will allow the seatback to fold flat
and increase the cargo area.
The rear seatback levers
are located on the
outboard side of the rear
seatbacks.
Pull the seatback toward you as you lift up on the lever.
The head restraint will automatically fold out of the
way when the seatback is folded down.
To
raise the seatbacks, lift up the seatbacks and push
on them until they
lock
into the upright position.
Push and pull on the seatbacks to make sure that they
are latched securely. Then fold the bottom seat
cushion back into place.
1-6
To return the head restraint to the upright position,
reach behind the seat and pull the restraint up until it
locks into place. Push and pull on the head restraint to
make sure that it is latched securely.
Rear Seats
(Envoy
XL)
The second row seat is a
65/35
split seat which may be
folded and tumbled. Use this feature for gaining
access to the third row seats.
To fold and tumble the second row seat(s), do the
following:
1.
Push the head restraints fully down.
2. Fold the seatback flat on the seat by pushing down
on the front part of the lever. The lever is located
on the outboard side
of the seat (indicated as
1
on
the handle side cover).
3.
Release the rear set of seat hooks from the floor
pins by pushing down
on
the rear part of the lever
(indicated as
2
on the handle side cover). This
enables the seat to be tumbled forward.

In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law
says
to
wear safety belts. Here’s why: They
work.
1-9
You
never know
if
you’ll be in a crash.
If
you do have a
crash, you don’t 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 wouldn’t 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
30
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’s just a seat
on wheels.
1-10
Put
someone on
it.
Get it
up
to speed. Then stop the vehicle.
The rider doesn't stop.

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’s why
safety belts make such good sense.
Questions and Answers About
Safety Belts
Q:
Won’t
I
be trapped in the vehicle after an
accident if
I’m wearing a safety belt?
A:
You could be
-
whether you’re wearing a safety
belt or not. But you can unbuckle
a
safety belt,
even
if
you’re 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 air bags, why should
I
have to
wear safety belts?
A:
Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in
most of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only;
so
they work
with
safety belts
-
not instead of them. Every air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the use of
safety belts. Even
if
you’re in a vehicle that has
air bags, you
still
have
to
buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.
