Relay is equipped with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system in all second-row seating positions. This system provides two lower anchors and a top tether anchor to be used to secure a child seat to the vehicle seat structure. A top tether is also provided in the center position of the third-row. These anchorages are designed to make it easier to properly install compatible child safety seats.

For post-crash assistance and other safety and security needs, OnStar is a segment exclusive and is standard in all Relay models. For 2007, the Relay receives OnStar Gen 7 hardware with optional Turn-by-Turn navigation. Turn-by-Turn is the first factory-installed, fully integrated GPS navigation system from OnStar. Turn-by-Turn allows consumers to talk to a live advisor, who in turn sends complete step-by-step directions to customers' vehicles through their OnStar system. These audio directions automatically play through the vehicle's stereo as needed, triggered by the OnStar system's GPS capabilities. This enables drivers to be led to their destination while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. For more information about OnStar, see the OnStar Overview in the Product Information Guide corporate book.


Interior refinements

Saturn Relay's interior styling is refined and upscale, with close attention paid to fit and finish. The interior includes a sporty three-spoke steering wheel, with Ebony rim and center trim matching the upper part of the instrument panel and the upper door trim. Relay 3 models have a leather-wrapped steering wheel with redundant audio controls.

Saturn Relay uses a light maple color wood grain for its radio and HVAC trim plate and on the door switch plates. Relay interiors are available in an Ebony upper / Medium Gray lower color combination and an Ebony upper / Medium Cashmere lower combination.

Standard features on Relay 2 include power heated outside mirrors; power windows and locks; remote keyless entry; front passenger visor vanity mirror; and an overhead rail system for accessory storage modules. 2007 Relay 3 adds body-color door handles; a six-way power driver's seat; rear HVAC; and a Preferred Package that includes the rear cargo-area storage module, floor mats, power rear quarter windows, illuminated visor vanity and a theft-deterrent system.

Taking comfort to a higher level, the Relay offers an optional factory-installed remote vehicle starter system, allowing the driver to get a head start on heating or cooling the car's interior from a range of about 196 feet (60m). The remote vehicle starter system is activated from the remote key fob by first pressing the "lock" button, then pressing and holding the remote start button for 1.5 seconds. This two-step process helps prevent inadvertent activation, locks the car and engages the anti-theft system.

A universal home remote feature, standard on Relay 3, allows drivers to program home devices such as lights and garage doors for added convenience and security.


Clean, SUV-like styling

Saturn Relay's exterior combines clean and contemporary design with a sturdy, SUV-like stance. Wide, prominent, exposed C-pillars - an SUV styling cue - reinforce the Relay's strong yet refined look. Standard 17-inch, six-lug wheels and wide tires also contribute to a robust, aggressive SUV-like stance.

The optional exterior silver roof rails complete the picture. These uniquely designed rails are tubular-shaped with a satin finish, which help give the vehicle a rugged, purposeful stance.

The Relay 2 features standard steel wheels with a composite center bolt-on disc, a six-spoke design and the Saturn emblem in the middle. The uplevel Relay 3 has six-spoke bright silver painted aluminum wheels that feature Saturn's emblem. New colors for 2007 are Silver Plum, Polar Blue Metallic, Gold Mist and Cocoa.
