This is not a trans flush which is probably what you've heard to avoid. Its unnerving to do it the first time but after I got started it worked like a charm and was easy. Something I read on another board and saved. This technique uses 4 less quarts than a triple pan drain and fill and leaves you with almost 100 % new fluid instead of 87% with a triple pan drain: Just because the feature was added so to speak doesn't mean that it wasn't cost cutting, even if it is done very poorly.There is a technical service bulletin on the Amsoil web page (TSB: DT-) and here is another reference on a ATF service. Hence, the awful attempt at cost cutting. However, by putting the ambient lights in the car, GM made the car seem more unique and interesting and added another feature that they could use for marketing. The ambient light system is more than likely a lot cheaper to put in a vehicle than the heated seats, saving GM a few bucks per car. Anyone who has owned a GM car in recent years knows that they will de-content a car in any way that you can possibly imagine, but they will still try and make you believe its the same vehicle. So they instead use the heated seat wiring for a more or less pointless set of cheap two color lights, but they avoid having to spend the money to make the heated seats and the sensing system work together. GM, in their never ending wisdom and desire to save money, likely opted to drop the heated seats after the addition of the passenger sensing system because they probably didn't want to spend the money to make both the heated seats and passenger sensing system work in the new seat. Yes.you seem to have missed the AWFUL part. Definitely wish my '06 had them.you will certainly appreciate them in the winter.Ĭost cutting? ADDING lights and getting rid of the heated seats? if it was cost cutting, the lights wouldn't have been there at all. ![]() I had heard that a few very early '06 Redline models had the heated seats, but that they were removed as an option on the '06 Redlines later in the year due to concerns that the black suede inserts in the seats would bleed on light clothing when they were heated. We have heated seats in our '04 with regular leather and it is definitely a nice feature to have on a cold morning. The footwell lighting is definitely a fun option, but its not really terribly functional. I actually would have taken heated seats over the footwell lighting. Haha.the whole igloos thing isn't true?!?!? I kept looking for them when I visited. Obviously the engineers at Saturn had the usual stereotype view of Canada, like we all live in igloos and such, so the decided we needed heaters more than funky lights. two switches in the middle, two change holes on the outside, on either side. I tried putting up pics, but it wouldn't let me until I had 15 posts. does the red stripe along the side mean it's a redline? Or is it just a random choice of color that has me hopeful? Is there anything in my manual or on the original sticker that can tell me for sure? ![]() I have the sticker, and it doesn't have anything having to do with "redline" on it, but it has an AWD 3.5L SOHC V-6, and a lot of features that google tells me the redline should have, like a 6-way drivers seat, and extra things like heated seats, sunroof, a chrome package, etc. It doesn't have the grill that looks like it's gonna swallow up everything on the road. I had no clue that could mean anything, until I came across these forums.īut here's the thing, the front panel doesn't look like your redlines. It has a red and black stripe running along the body of the car, placed underneath the windows. ![]() I bought a used 2007 Saturn Vue from a dealer about a month ago.
