network capacity and reception when the service is needed, and technology that is compatible with the OnStar® service. Not all services are available everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed areas, or at all times. OnStar® service that involves location information about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS satellite signals are unobstructed and available in that place as well. Your vehicle must have a working electrical system (including adequate battery power) for the OnStar® equipment to operate. There are other problems OnStar® cannot control that may prevent OnStar® from providing OnStar® service to you at any particular time or place. Some examples are damage to important parts of your vehicle in an accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather or wireless phone network congestion. Your Responsibility You may need to increase the volume of your radio to hear the OnStar® advisor. If the light next to the OnStar® buttons is red, this means that your system is not functioning properly and should be checked by a dealer. If the light appears clear (no light is appearing), your OnStar® subscription has expired. You can always press the blue OnStar® button to conﬁrm that your OnStar® equipment is active.

Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in programming the transmitter. Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future programming. You only need the original remote control transmitter for ﬁxed code programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed buttons should be erased for security purposes. See “Erasing your Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or security device you are programming. When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. 149 Programming Universal Home Remote — Fixed Code Fixed Code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced prior to 1996. Fixed code uses the same coded signal every time, which is manually programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code. If you do not know if your garage door opener is a ﬁxed code or rolling code device, open your garage door opener’s remote control battery cover. Your garage door opener is a ﬁxed code device if there is a panel of switches. If not, your garage door opener is a rolling code device. 150 Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Remove the battery cover of the hand-held transmitter. Press and release all three buttons at the same time to put the device into programming mode. Example of Switch Settings 2. Write down the eight to 12 coding switch settings from left to right. When the switch is in the up position, write “on,” and when a switch is in the down position, write “off”. If a switch is set between the up and down position, write “middle”. 3. Enter these positions into the Universal Home Remote System as follows. Example 4. The indicator light will blink slowly. In order from left to right, and within two and one-half minutes, enter each switch setting into the Universal Home Remote System. Push one button for each switch as follows: (cid:127) Left button = “on” switch position. (cid:127) Right button = “off” switch position. (cid:127) Middle button = “middle” switch position. 151 5. After entering the switch settings, press and release all three buttons at the same time. The indicator lights will turn on. 6. Press and hold the button you would like to use to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light above the selected button should slowly blink. You may need to hold the button from ﬁve to 55 seconds. 7. Immediately release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete. 8. Press and release the button again. The garage door should move, conﬁrming that programming is successful and complete. To program another device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 8, choosing a different function button in Step 7 than what you used for the garage door opener. Programming Universal Home Remote — Rolling Code Rolling code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced after 1996 and are code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every time your remote control garage door opener is used. Programming a rolling code garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before you begin. If you do not follow these actions, the device will time out and you will have to repeat the procedure. Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press the two outside buttons at the same time for one to two seconds, and immediately release them. 152 2. Go to the garage. Locate the garage door motor head and press and release the “learn” button. After pressing the “learn” button, you have 10 to 30 seconds to complete Step 4 depending on your garage control unit. If you cannot locate the “learn” button, refer to the owners guide for your garage door opener. 3. Press and hold the button you would like to use to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light, above the selected button, should slowly blink. You may need to hold the button from ﬁve to 20 seconds. 4. Immediately release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete. 5. Press and release the button again. The garage door should move, conﬁrming that programming is successful and complete. To program another device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 6, choosing a different function button in Step 4 than what you used for the garage door opener. Using Universal Home Remote Press and hold the appropriate button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. 153 Reprogramming Universal Home Remote Buttons You can reprogram any of the three buttons by repeating the instructions. Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons You should erase the programmed buttons when you sell the vehicle or terminate your lease. To erase either rolling code or ﬁxed code on the Universal Home Remote device, do the following: 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons at the same time for approximately 20 seconds, until the indicator lights, located directly above the buttons, begin to blink rapidly. 2. Once the indicator lights begin to blink, release both buttons. The codes from all button will be erased. For additional information on Universal Home Remote, see Customer Assistance Offices on page 496. 154 Universal Home Remote System Operation (With One Triangular LED) Your vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote System. If there is one triangular Light Emitting Diode (LED) above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions below. If your vehicle has three round LED above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions under Universal Home Remote System Operation (with three round LED). Do not use the Universal Home Remote with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. If you have a newer garage door opener with rolling codes, please be sure to follow Steps 6 through 8 to complete the programming of your Universal Home Remote Transmitter. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the Universal Home Remote. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in the programming steps. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future Universal Home Remote programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed Universal Home Remote buttons should be erased for security purposes. See “Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section or, for assistance, see Customer Assistance Offices on page 496. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate operator you are programming. When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. It is recommended that a new battery be installed in your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Programming Universal Home Remote Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press and hold down the two outside Universal Home Remote buttons, releasing only when the Universal Home Remote indicator light begins to ﬂash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons. 2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Universal Home Remote buttons while keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired Universal Home Remote button and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until Step 4 has been completed. Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian Programming” later in this section. 155 4. The indicator light will ﬂash slowly at ﬁrst and then rapidly after Universal Home Remote successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons. 6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal Home Remote button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on continuously, programming is complete and your device should activate when the Universal Home Remote button is pressed and released. To program the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under “Programming Universal Home Remote.” Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of the programmed channels. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with Steps 6 through 8 following to complete the programming of a rolling-code device, most commonly, a garage door opener. 7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8. 8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the programmed Universal Home Remote button for two seconds, then release. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time, and depending on the brand of the garage door opener or other rolling code device, repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming. The Universal Home Remote should now activate the rolling-code device. To program the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming Universal Home Remote.” Do not repeat Step 1, as this will erase all previous programming from the Universal Home Remote buttons. 156 Gate Operator and Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to time out or quit after several seconds of transmission. This may not be long enough for Universal Home Remote to pick up the signal during programming. Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured to time out in the same manner. If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming Universal Home Remote” procedures, regardless of where you live, replace Step 3 under “Programming Universal Home Remote” with the following: Continue to press and hold the Universal Home Remote button while you press and release every two seconds (cycle) the hand-held transmitter button until the frequency signal has been successfully accepted by the Universal Home Remote. The Universal Home Remote indicator light will ﬂash slowly at ﬁrst and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming Universal Home Remote” to complete. Using Universal Home Remote Press and hold the appropriate Universal Home Remote button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons To erase programming from the three Universal Home Remote buttons do the following: 1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to ﬂash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold the two outside buttons for longer than 30 seconds. 2. Release both buttons. The Universal Home Remote is now in the training (learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2 under “Programming Universal Home Remote” shown earlier in this section. Individual buttons cannot be erased, but they can be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single Universal Home Remote Button” following this section. 157 Reprogramming a Single Universal Home Remote Button To program a device to Universal Home Remote using a Universal Home Remote button previously trained, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the desired Universal Home Remote button. Do not release the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to ﬂash after 20 seconds.

This can cause you to lose control. What you are carrying could be violently torn off, and this could cause you or other drivers to have a collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You may be able to carry something like this inside. But, never carry something longer or wider than the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle. If you have the luggage carrier with crossrails you can load things on top of your vehicle. If you do load things on the top of your vehicle, you must load them on the luggage carrier crossrails. Some vehicles may not have the crossrails. Notice: Damage may be caused to the roof of your vehicle if anything is placed directly on the roof. 161 When you carry cargo on the luggage carrier of a proper size and weight, put it on the slats and distribute the weight evenly. Then slide the crossrail, if the vehicle has one, up against the rear of the load to keep it from moving. You can then tie it down. Cargo containers must be loaded on the crossrails only. Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and loading, see Loading Your Vehicle on page 332. To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are driving, check now and then to make sure the luggage carrier and cargo are still securely fastened. Loading things onto the luggage carrier can interfere with the performance of your XM™ Satellite Radio System, if the vehicle has one. Notice: Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that weighs more than 220 lbs (100 kg) or hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle may damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that it rests on the slats as far forward as possible and against the side rails, making sure to fasten it securely. 162 Your luggage carrier has release levers within the end of each crossrail support. To adjust the crossrail(s), the sunroof stop (A), if the vehicle has one, must be removed. To remove the sunroof stop, do the following: 1. Find the tool (B) located in a bag in the glove box labeled TOOL KIT-ACSRY. 2. Use the tool to remove the screw located in the side rail assembly in front of the front crossrail. 3. Repeat for the other side. 4. Put the tool and the screws back in the plastic bag in the glove box. 163 To adjust the crossrails, lift the release levers on each side to unlock them. Slide the crossrails forward or backward, as needed, to accommodate loads of various sizes. After repositioning the crossrails, push the release lever down. This will lock the crossrails in place. Notice: Opening the sunroof when the luggage rack crossrails are not in the full-rear position could cause damage to the sunroof or luggage rack. Verify the luggage rack crossrails are in the full-rear position before opening the sunroof. When you are done using the crossrails you must replace the sunroof stop.

Press the button to make the front and rear turn signal lamps ﬂash on and off. Press the button again to turn the ﬂashers off. When the hazard warning ﬂashers are on, your turn signals will not work. Other Warning Devices If you carry reﬂective triangles, you can set them up at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle. Horn Press near or on the horn symbols on your steering wheel pad to sound the horn. 176 Tilt Wheel A tilt wheel lets you adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can raise the steering wheel to the highest level to give your legs more room when you enter and exit the vehicle. The lever that lets you tilt the steering wheel is located on the left side of the steering column. To tilt the wheel, hold the wheel and pull the lever. Then move the wheel to a comfortable position and release the lever to lock the wheel in place. Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following: (cid:127) G Turn and Lane-Change Signals. See Turn and Lane-Change Signals on page 178. (cid:127) 5 3 Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 179. (cid:127) Flash-to-Pass. See Flash-to-Pass on page 179. (cid:127) WIPER N Windshield Wipers. See Windshield Wipers on page 179. 177 (cid:127) L PUSH Windshield Washer. See Windshield Washer on page 180. (cid:127) CRUISE I Cruise Control. See Cruise Control on page 181. Turn and Lane-Change Signals The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you to signal a turn or a lane change. To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is ﬁnished, the lever will return automatically. An arrow on the instrument panel cluster and the HUD display will ﬂash in the direction of the turn or lane change. To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ﬂash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself when you release it. 178 As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow ﬂashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers will not see your turn signal. If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 463. If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will ﬂash at a normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they are working. Turn Signal On Chime If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver know to turn it off. If you need to leave the signal on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it back on. Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer To change the headlamps from low to high, push the turn signal lever away from you, then release it. To change the headlamps from high to low, pull the lever toward you. When the high beams are on, this light on the instrument panel cluster and the HUD display, if the vehicle has this, will also be on. Flash-to-Pass When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward you to momentarily turn on the high beams. This will signal that you are going to pass. When you release the lever, they will turn off. Windshield Wipers WIPER N: Turn the band marked WIPER to control the windshield wipers. MIST: For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer. Delay: For delayed wiping cycles, you can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to LO, the shorter the delay time. LO: For steady wiping cycles at low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO position. HI: For high-speed wiping, turn the band away from you to the HI position. OFF: To stop the wipers, turn the band to OFF. Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, carefully clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. 179 Windshield Washer Rear Window Wiper/Washer L PUSH: To wash your windshield, press and hold the paddle with the windshield washer symbol. The washers and wipers will operate. When you release the paddle, the washers will stop, and the wipers will continue to operate for two cycles, unless your wipers were already on. In that case, the wipers will resume the wiper speed you selected earlier. {CAUTION: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer ﬂuid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. The rear window washer/wiper switch is located in the instrument panel switchbank. See Instrument Panel Switchbank on page 192. Z(Rear Intermittent Wiper): Press the wiper symbol on the top of the switch to turn on the intermittent wiper. To turn off the wiper, gently press the bottom of the switch. 180 =(Rear Wiper/Washer): To wash and wipe the rear window, press the washer symbol on the bottom of the switch. Washer ﬂuid will spray as long as the switch is held in. When the switch is released, the wiper will continue to cycle three more times. There is only one washer ﬂuid reservoir for the front and rear windshield wipers. See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 388. To wash the rear window while the rear wiper is already on, press the bottom of the switch. Press the top of the switch to continue the intermittent wiper cycle after the washing cycle is completed. The rear window washer uses the same ﬂuid bottle as the windshield washer. However, the rear window washer will run out of ﬂuid before the windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield but not your rear window, check the ﬂuid level. Remember that a damaged wiper blade may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, carefully clear ice and snow from the wiper blade before using it. If it is frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw the wiper blade. If your blade becomes damaged, get a new blade or blade insert. {CAUTION: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer ﬂuid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. Cruise Control With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). When you apply your brakes, the cruise control disengages. 181 The cruise controls are located on the end of the turn signal/ multifunction lever. ON: Move the switch to this position to turn the cruise control system on. R/A: Move the switch to this position to resume a set speed or to accelerate. SET: Press this button, located at the end of the lever, to set a speed. OFF: This position turns the cruise control system off and cancels memory of a set speed. 182 {CAUTION: Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use your cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 310. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control back on. Setting Cruise Control {CAUTION: If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control. 1. Move the cruise control switch located on the turn signal/multifunction lever, to ON. 2. Get up to the speed you want. 3. Press the SET button at the end of the lever and release it. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control. But you do not need to reset it. Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch from ON to Resume/Accelerate (R/A) brieﬂy. You will go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, do not hold the switch at R/A. 183 Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to increase speed while using cruise control: (cid:127) Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the SET button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. (cid:127) Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A brieﬂy and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. The accelerate feature will work whether or not you have set an initial cruise control speed. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce speed while using cruise control: (cid:127) Press the SET button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. (cid:127) To slow down in very small amounts, press the SET button brieﬂy. Each time you do this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier. 184 Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers ﬁnd this to be too much trouble and do not use cruise control on steep hills. Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control: (cid:127) Step lightly on the brake pedal. (cid:127) Move the cruise control switch to OFF. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. Exterior Lamps The control on the left side of the steering column operates the exterior lamps. The exterior lamp control has three positions: AUTO (Automatic Headlamp Control/Off): Turning the control to this position will activate the automatic headlamps when it is dark enough outside and turn off all lamps and lights during the day except for the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). 185 A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it is not covered. The DRL system will make your reduced intensity low-beam headlamps come on in daylight when the following conditions are met: (cid:127) The ignition is on. (cid:127) The exterior lamps control is in AUTO. (cid:127) The shift lever is not in PARK (P). When the DRL are on, only your reduced intensity high-beam headlamps will be on. Your instrument panel will not be lit up. When it is dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will come on automatically. When it is bright enough outside, the exterior lamps will go out and the DRL will turn on. Of course, you may still turn on the headlamps any time you need to. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. Instrument Panel Lights <(Parking Lamps): Turning the control to this position turns on the parking lamps together with the following: (cid:127) Taillamps (cid:127) 5(Headlamps): Turning the control to this position turns on the headlamps together with the previously listed lamps and lights. Lamps on Reminder If the driver’s door is opened and you turn the ignition to OFF while leaving the lamps on, you will hear a warning chime. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada. 186 Automatic Headlamp System When the exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO, and it is dark enough outside, the headlamps and parking lamps will, automatically, come on.

If the interior lamps are turned off as a result of the battery saver feature, they may be turned back on by turning the interior lamp control to OFF and then back to ON. The battery saver will not turn the interior lamps off automatically after doing this. They will have to be turned off manually. Instrument Panel Switchbank There is an instrument panel switchbank located below the climate controls. It contains switches or blanks that will vary with the options that are on your vehicle. The switches you may have are: (cid:127) Rear Window Wiper/Washer. See Windshield Washer on page 180. (cid:127) Traction Disable. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 310. (cid:127) Park Aid Disable. See Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) on page 196. (cid:127) Heated Seats. See Heated Seats on page 11. 192 Head-Up Display (HUD) {CAUTION: If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in your ﬁeld of view, it may take you more time to see things you need to see when it is dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your ﬁeld of view. If your vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD), it can show the speedometer reading in English or metric. The current audio system information, as well as Rear Seat Entertainment system information, may also be displayed and will appear as an image focused out toward the front of your vehicle. The HUD is capable of displaying English or French. See DIC Controls and Displays on page 236 to change the display from English to metric. The HUD will display the following lights and messages when they appear on the instrument panel cluster: (cid:127) Turn Signal Indicators. See Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 177. (cid:127) High-Beam Indicator. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 179. (cid:127) Low-Fuel Warning Message.

Do not use the HUD image as a parking aid. The HUD controls are located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. When the HUD is on, the speedometer reading will always be displayed. The current audio system information will only be displayed for three seconds after the radio, tape or CD track status changes. This will happen whenever one of the radio controls is pressed, either on the radio or on the audio steering wheel controls, if equipped. Under warning conditions, the CHECK GAGES message will illuminate in the HUD. Look at the instrument panel cluster for more information. 194 To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly, do the following: 1. Start your engine and turn the dimmer knob to the desired HUD image brightness. The brightness of the HUD image is determined by the ambient light conditions in the direction your vehicle is facing and where you have the HUD dimmer knob set. If you are facing a dark object or a heavily shaded area, your HUD may anticipate that you are entering a dark area and may begin to dim. 2. Adjust the driver’s seat. If you change your seat position, you may have to readjust your HUD. 3. Press the UP or DN buttons until the HUD image is easy to see and then press the DN button until the HUD image is as low as possible, but remains in full view straight ahead near the front bumper. The HUD image can only be adjusted up and down, not side-to-side. 4. To turn the image off, turn the dimmer knob counterclockwise until it stops. If the sun comes out or it becomes cloudy, you may need to adjust the HUD brightness again using the dimmer knob. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see. When you ﬁrst start the vehicle the display will show BUICK and the Buick logo for a few seconds. If it is cold outside, this display may stay on for up to a minute. Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove any dirt or ﬁlm that reduces the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image. 195 To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens because the cleaner could leak into the unit. If the ignition is on and you cannot see the HUD image, check to see if one of the following conditions exist: (cid:127) The HUD unit is covered (cid:127) The HUD dimmer knob is adjusted incorrectly (cid:127) The HUD image is not adjusted to the proper height (cid:127) Ambient light in the direction your vehicle is facing, is low (cid:127) A fuse is blown. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 463. Keep in mind that the windshield is part of the HUD. See Windshield Replacement on page 404. Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system is designed to help you park, while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). It operates only at very low speeds, less than 3 mph (5 km/h). URPA can help make parking easier and to help you avoid colliding with objects such as parked vehicles. The URPA system can detect objects up to 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the vehicle, and tell you how close these objects are from your rear bumper. Your vehicle’s URPA operates when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Four ultrasonic sensors located at the rear bumper are used to detect the distance to the object. The URPA display is located inside the vehicle, near the rear window. It has three color-coded lights used to provide distance and system information to the driver. 196 {CAUTION: The Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist (URPA) system does not replace driver vision. URPA does not: (cid:127) Operate above speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h). (cid:127) Detect objects more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) behind the vehicle. This distance may be less during warmer or humid weather. (cid:127) Detect objects that are below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or that are very close to the vehicle. (cid:127) Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets. So if you do not use proper care before backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage, injury, or death. Even though the vehicle has the URPA system, always check carefully before backing up by checking behind your vehicle. URPA can be turned off by pressing the rear park aid disable switch located in the instrument panel switchbank. When the system is disabled, an indicator light will glow on the switch. You will not see any lights on the rear display if the switch is in the off position. How the System Works Unless disabled, the URPA will turn on automatically when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R). When the system turns on, the three lights on the display will illuminate for one and a half seconds to let you know that the system is working. If your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), the red light will ﬂash to remind you that the system does not work at speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h). 197 If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R) speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h), one of the following will occur: Description amber light amber/amber lights amber/amber/red lights & continuous chime amber/amber/red lights ﬂashing & continuous chime English 5 ft 40 in 20 in 1 ft Metric 1.5 m 1.0 m 0.5 m 0.3 m A chime will sound the ﬁrst time an object is detected between 20 inches (0.5 m) and 5 feet (1.5 m) away. URPA cannot detect objects that are above liftgate level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within detection range behind the vehicle. When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly The light may ﬂash red when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush. Other conditions that may affect system performance include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or the compression of air brakes on a very large truck. If after cleaning the rear bumper and then driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to ﬂash red, see your dealer. If a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or an object was on the back of, or hanging out of your liftgate during your last drive cycle, the light may also ﬂash red. The light will continue to ﬂash whenever in REVERSE (R) until your vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h) without any obstructions behind the vehicle. For cleaning instructions, see Washing Your Vehicle on page 455. 198 Accessory Power Outlet(s) With accessory power outlets you can plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio. There is one front power outlet/cigarette lighter located on the ﬂoor console in the cell phone storage compartment. There are also two rear power outlets. One is located in the rear of the ﬂoor console below the vents. The other is located in the rear of the vehicle on the driver’s side behind the access door. Pull the cover down to use an accessory power outlet. When not in use, always cover the accessory power outlets with the protective cap. Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn off electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer for additional information on the accessory power outlets. Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your vehicle may damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only. 199 Climate Controls Climate Control System With this system you can control the heating, cooling, and ventilation for your vehicle. Operation Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise to direct the airﬂow inside your vehicle. Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter The ashtray is located on the ﬂoor console closest to the instrument panel. Lift the lid to expose the ashtray. To remove the ashtray, lift it up. The cigarette lighter is located on the ﬂoor console in the cell phone storage compartment closest to the driver’s seat. Lift the lid to expose the cigarette lighter. To use the lighter, push it in all the way and let go. When it is ready, it will pop back out by itself. Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is heating will not allow the lighter to back away from the heating element when it is hot. Damage from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it is heating. Notice: ﬂammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never put ﬂammable items in the ashtray. If you put papers, pins, or other 200 To change the current mode, select one of the following: H(Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel outlets. )(Bi-Level): This mode directs half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, then directs the remaining air to the ﬂoor outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the ﬂoor outlets. 6(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the ﬂoor outlets. Use this mode to send air to the rear of the vehicle.
