Getting to Know Your LaCrosse

16

Opening the Vehicle Hood

Pull the hood release handle located

under the driver’s side of the instrument

panel. 

Under the leading edge of the hood

itself, push the secondary hood release

handle up and to the right. Lift the hood.

See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Passenger Air Bag 

Status Indicator

Your vehicle’s passenger-sensing air

bag system has a status indicator locat-

ed in the instrument panel center stack.

With the key in Run or Start, the indica-

tor blinks on/off for several seconds as a

system check. Following, the light will

stay on or off to indicate passenger-side

air bag status. If it shows that the air

bag is on, it means that the air bag is

enabled (could inflate). If it shows that

the air bag is off, the passenger air bag

is disabled. If all lights remain on or off

after several seconds, see your dealer-

ship for service. IMPORTANT: See your

Owner Manual for full safety information

and cautions.

See Sections 1 and 3 of your Owner Manual.

Passenger Compartment 

Air Filter

The filter is located in the engine com-

partment below the air inlet grille, near

the passenger-side wiper arm. It traps

most of the pollen from the air that

enters the air conditioning module. 

See your Owner Manual for Scheduled

Maintenance and replacement 

instructions.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist

(if equipped)

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)

detects objects up to 5 feet (1.5 m)

behind the vehicle when the shift lever 

is in the Reverse position and vehicle

speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h).

Three color-coded lights inside the 

vehicle, above the rear window, provide

distance and system information to the

driver. See your Owner Manual for full

operation details.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Antilock Brake System 

(if equipped)

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps

to prevent a braking skid. The ABS

warning light illuminates briefly when the

engine is started. Momentary motor or

clicking noises and slight brake pedal

movement is normal as the system

checks itself at startup.

See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
