After looking at it again I discovered there are three of them, one in the middle and on each side. There is an emblem on the plastic clip attached to the nylon string that looks like and open book with either a person with a huge head or an old style gas pump. There is nothing in the manual about this but maybe it is used with child seats??? I'm just curious, I know I had a car years ago that had a pull string in the trunk and it was to shut off the fuel pump in case of a crash.

I have a 2010 Equinox on order to be built next week 8-24-8-28, it is a 1LT, 4 cyl.
It does not come with the Fog lights on the 1LT, will I be able to buy them and install them or have them installed at a later time.?
Also can I get Splash Guards and where, for the 2010 Equinox? 
Thank you

I bet the fog lights through the dealer will cost you an arm and a leg plus the wiring to make them work and the switch. Splash Guards for the nox I'm guessing will take quite a few months before they start coming availible. When I bought my Colorado in 04 it had been out for almost a year and there still wasn't much availible for it. I wanted wheels and there just wasn't much out there for a reasonable price. I bet the nox will be the same.

I have a 2010 Equinox (1LT 4 cyl) on order, too, and was pretty excited about it until I started reading some of these threads !!! Now I don't know if I'll go through with it. Probably will (not sure) but now I'm feeling rather sick about it. It's due in a couple of weeks.
At any rate, I find it interesting that on Chevy's website, when you choose "Specs & Features", the 1LT 4 cyl FWD, has Splash Guards as an option for $89 (as well as a long list of other options) but the 1LT4 AWD does not.
I don't understand why you can get all that with the FWD but not the AWD. Why is there such a big difference in the options (it seems) just because the drive train is different ? Why can you order Splash Guards for the FWD and not the AWD, and why wouldn't they make SPLASH GUARDS ? That is something so basic it should be included with the base price.  It seems pretty ridiculous that you might not be able to get splash guards for a YEAR ! Can anyone answer those questions for me ( BTW, I am female but I'm not blond ).

Relax! It will be a great car if my experience is any indication. I have a 2006 with over 30,000 trouble free miles. That new 4 cylinder engine sounds fantastic and inline 4's are inherently reliable and easy to maintain. The 05's had some teething problems but after that the Equinox's reliability is average. (Which these days is very good!) All of this is in my opinion.

You have to remember for the most part the people who hang out here are like yourselves trying to find out info on their future purchase. The people here are also the ones for the most part having/had problems with their nox but the majority of owners are happy with their nox and don't hang out here. You will find this to be true on all forums. From what I have gathered the drive train on these new ones are for the most part completely different than of old and I have driven 2 of them and also an 2006 back then and didn't like the 06 but the 10 is on my wifes short list.

That's a very good point ! I think I'm going to take your advice to relax about it. And think I'll stop reading this forum for now. I'll report in after I've had it for a while with a review and back here if any problems. Hopefully, I won't have to do that. Thanks !

Please don't relax on any Chevy vehicle as the quality is awful.Listen for every sound that is unfamiliar. This is usually the start of a bigger problem for this vehicle!!!

Trusting Chevy- Gm and it's performance Issues concerning the Chevy equinox is like asking Bernie Madoff to handle your life savings. You will get wiped out one way or the other. The FTC has made an inquiry this time is looking into design vehicle design defects on all Chevy Equinox made between 2005 and 2010.Gm has not responded as Usual. Please note I have had 3 sets of rotors going only 15,000 miles in 3 years. You be the Judge.
