Important Safety Precautions

NOTICE

Additional electronic equip-

ment, such as a CB radio, cellu-

lar phone, navigation package 

or two-way radio, may interfere 

with the operation of your vehi-

cle’s engine, radio or other elec-

tronic systems and even 

damage them. Please consult 

with an authorized GM dealer 

before installing electronic 

equipment.

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 danger-

ous. Make sure to lock all doors 

while riding in the vehicle.
Turn the cruise control switch 

off when you are not using it.
