Other safety and security features include standard OnStar Communication System, remote keyless entry system including a panic alarm, and engine immobilizer with PASSKey III theft deterrent feature.

For 2007, OnStar-equipped Sky models will feature a new service called OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation, 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.



Saturn Sky Red Line

2007 Sky Red Line performance variant gets a power boost from an Ecotec turbocharged 2.0L engine, GM's first direct injection offering in North America. It produces 260 horsepower** (194 kW) at 5300 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque** (353 Nm) from 2500 to 5200 rpm, making it GM's highest specific output engine ever at 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement (130 hp / 97 kW per liter) and the most powerful production engine in the Ecotec family.

Gasoline direct injection technology helps the Ecotec engine produce more power while maintaining the lower fuel consumption of a small displacement port-injected engine.

With direct injection, fuel is delivered directly to the combustion chamber to create a more complete burn of the air/fuel mixture. Less fuel is required to produce the equivalent horsepower, especially at normal cruising speeds, than a conventional port-injection combustion system.

Direct injection technology works well with turbocharging and helps deliver a great balance of power and economy.

2007 Sky Red Line builds on the strong chassis and equipment of the Sky, with additional hardware to increase the vehicle's performance. Technical elements standard on the Sky Red Line includes:

- Limited-slip differential
- StabiliTrak electronic stability control
- Performance-tuned suspension

The Red Line also features several unique interior and exterior differences compared to the Sky roadster, including dual polished aluminum exhaust outlets and 18-inch polished aluminum alloy wheels. The front lower fascia has unique styling elements, including functional brake cooling vents and a larger mesh pattern in the lower grille for improved air flow. Red Line headlamp appearance also is different, with black bezels replacing the Sky's bright chrome.

The interior features a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, metallic sill plates, stainless steel pedal covers, Sky Red Line-specific gauges and a digital boost gauge included in the Driver Information Center.

Sky safety features also found on 2007 Sky Red Line include dual-stage frontal air bags, GM's Passenger Sensing System, four-wheel disc brakes with standard ABS, side-impact door beams, three-point safety belts with pretentioners and load-limiting retractors, and more.

2007 Sky models are built at GM's Wilmington, Del., assembly plant using a modular assembly process and implementing the GMS lean manufacturing production system with a focus on quality.
