SATURN ACCESSORIES ADD SPARKLE TO NEWLY REVITALIZED VEHICLE LINEUP

Saturn’s dramatically revitalized portfolio includes the Saturn Aura midsize sedan, all-new Saturn Vue and Outlook crossover SUVs. Saturn’s new direction combines bold new styling and fun-to-drive characteristics with the brand’s legendary, superb dealer experience.

“Saturn customers can add style and a little of their own personality to their vehicle with the wide selection of accessories we offer,” said Nancy Philippart, executive director, GM Accessories. “These accessories offer the best fit, function and durability that complement the lifestyles of Saturn customers.”

Outlook

Remote start – Great for quick getaways, cold mornings or just showing off a little. It starts the engine remotely with the vehicle key fob from up to 200 feet away.

Chrome tubular assist steps – These side steps help to make it even easier to take advantage of the Outlook’s low-step in height. They make reaching the available roof rails easy, too. A chrome appearance nicely complements the Outlook’s exterior.

Integrated roof-rack crossrails – These attach to the longitudinal rails atop the Outlook and help secure cargo to the roof, providing more elbow room on the inside.

19-inch chrome wheels – Available in six- and 10-spoke designs, these cast wheels feature a lustrous, durable chrome finish. All designs are available with a choice of matching Saturn logo center caps and chrome lug nuts.

Heated seats – Owners can enjoy the comfort of heated seats even if the vehicle is equipped with a cloth interior. (Heated seats are standard on Outlooks with leather interior.) The accessory feature contains three heat levels and activates with the touch of a button, providing consistent and controlled warmth.

Aura

17-inch wheels – With a polished finish, these 17-inch forged wheels are especially eye-catching. The package includes four wheels, 20 lug nuts and caps and installation.

Front end cover – Helps protect the Aura from bug and rock damage. Two-piece design allows for coverage over both the leading edge of the hood and the front bumper.

Highway safety kit – Because it’s always a good idea to be prepared, this highway emergency kit includes jumper cables, flashlight, gloves, electrical tape, screwdriver, rain poncho and a roadside emergency banner to alert passersby.

Premium all-weather floor mats – Keep mud, snow – and whatever else might be hitching a ride on shoe soles – off the carpets with custom-fitted floor mats.

Vue

Tubular assist steps – Stylish tubular assist steps help make it easier to get in and out of the Vue. Constructed of high-strength stainless steel, they have traction-gripping step pads on the top surfaces, and are available in chrome or black-painted finishes.

Highway safety kit – Be prepared with this highway emergency kit that includes jumper cables, flashlight, gloves, electrical tape, screwdriver, rain poncho and a roadside emergency banner to alert passersby.

Roof-mounted luggage cross rail package – Attach it the Vue’s roof rails to help carry extra gear. Saturn retailers can help you with the attachments needed to haul a bike, kayak, skis or overstuffed suitcase. It’s compatible with the standard integrated roof rails.
