instrument panel cluster when the high beam headlamps are on.

Flash-to-Pass This feature allows the high-beam headlamps to be used to signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass. Pull and hold the turn signal/lane change lever toward you to use this feature. When this is done the following will occur:

If the headlamps are off, in low-beam or in Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) mode, the high-beam headlamps will turn on. They will stay on as long as the lever is held there. Release the lever to turn them off. If the headlamps are already in high-beam mode, they will remain on high-beam.

Lighting

5-3

Make sure the instrument panel brightness lever is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Illumination Control on page 5‑5. Turning the exterior lamp control to off or to the low-beam headlamp position will turn off the DRL. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still turn off. This will work regardless of gear position and whether or not the parking brake is set.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. The DRL system will make either the reduced intensity low-beam headlamps or dedicated DRL's come on when the following conditions are met:

It is still daylight and the ignition is in ON/RUN or START. The exterior lamp control is in off or AUTO and the headlamps are off. The automatic transmission is not in P (Park).

When DRL's are on, only the reduced intensity low-beam headlamps or dedicated DRL's will be on. The other exterior lamps and the instrument panel cluster will not be on. When the exterior lamp control is in AUTO and it is dark enough outside, the DRL turns off and the low-beam headlamps will turn on. When it is bright enough outside, the low-beam headlamps will go off, and the DRL will turn back on. If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on immediately. Once the vehicle leaves the garage, it takes about one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual.

Lighting

Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) The Adaptive Forward Lighting System (AFL) pivots the headlamps horizontally to provide greater road illumination while turning. To enable AFL, set the exterior lamp switch on the multifunction lever to the AUTO position. Moving the switch out of the AUTO position will deactivate the system. AFL will operate when the vehicle speed is greater than 2 mph (3 km/h). AFL will not operate when the transmission is in R (Reverse). AFL is not immediately operable after starting the vehicle; driving a short distance is required to calibrate the AFL. See Exterior Lamp Controls on page 5‑1.

Hazard Warning Flashers | Hazard Warning Flasher: Press this button located on the instrument panel near the audio system, to make the front and rear turn signal lamps flash on and off. This warns others that you are having trouble. Press again to turn the flashers off.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals

An arrow on the instrument panel cluster flashes in the direction of the turn or lane change. Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.

Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to signal a lane change. Hold it briefly until the lane change is complete. The arrow will automatically flash three times. The lever returns to its starting position when it is released. If after signaling a turn or lane change the arrow flashes rapidly or does not come on, a signal bulb may be burned out. Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out, check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 9‑41 .

Turn Signal On Chime If the turn signal is left on for about 1.6 km (1 mile), a warning chime will sound and the TURN SIGNAL ON message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. See “Turn Signal On” under Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 4‑31 for more information.

Interior Lighting

Instrument Panel Illumination Control The instrument panel brightness knob is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. D (Instrument Panel Brightness): Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the lights. Turn the knob completely clockwise to turn on the interior lamps.

Reading Lamps The reading lamps are located on the overhead console. These lamps come on automatically when any door is opened. For manual operation, press the button next to each lamp to turn it on or off. If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

Fog Lamps Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions. The fog lamp control is located on the turn signal/multifunction lever. # (Fog Lamps): Turn the fog lamp band on the lever up to # and release it, to turn the fog lamps on or off. The band will return to its original position. The parking lamps must be on for the fog lamps to work. If the high-beam headlamps are turned on, the fog lamps will also turn off. They will turn back on again when you change back to low-beam headlamps. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.

Lighting Features

Entry Lighting The entry lighting system turns on the reading and dome lamps and the backlighting to the exterior lamp control, when a door is opened or if the transmitter unlock button is pressed. If activated by the transmitter, the lighting stays on for about 25 seconds. The entry lighting system uses the light sensor on the instrument panel; so it must be dark outside in order for the lamps to turn on. The lamps turn off about 25 seconds after the last door is closed. They dim then turn off if the ignition key is turned to ON/RUN. They immediately turn off if the power locks are used.

Parade Dimming This feature does not let the instrument panel backlight dim during daylight hours while the key is in the ignition and the headlamps are on. Parade dimming automatically works with the light sensor, located on top of the dashboard. If it is dark enough outside and the parking lamps are on, the backlight on the instrument panel can be adjusted by turning the instrument panel brightness knob clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the lighting. See Instrument Panel Illumination Control on page 5‑5.

Battery Load Management The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery. When the battery's state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed. The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles.

Lighting

5-7

This is because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the power that is needed for very high electrical loads. A high electrical load occurs when several of the following are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets. EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator's output and the vehicle's electrical needs. It can increase engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some accessories.

Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY. If one of these messages displays, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 4‑31.

Battery Power Protection This feature helps to prevent battery drain if accessory lamps are left on. If accessory lamps such as the vanity mirror, cargo, reading, console, or glove box are left on,

they automatically time-out after about 20 minutes. To reset the battery protection, all of the above lamps must be turned off or the ignition must be in the ACC/ACCESSORY position.

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver The exterior lamps turn off about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF, if the parking lamps or headlamps have been left on. This protects against draining the battery. The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are turned on after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF. To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, turn the lamps back on with the exterior lamp control.

Radio Reception Frequency interference and static can occur during normal radio reception if items such as cell phone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item from the accessory power outlet. FM FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 miles). Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.

AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio reception, most AM radio stations boost the power levels during the day, and then reduce these levels during the night. Static can also occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio. XM™ Satellite Radio Service XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the XM signal for a period of time.

Infotainment System 6-15

Cellular Phone Usage Cellular phone usage may cause interference with the vehicle's radio. This interference may occur when making or receiving phone calls, charging the phone's battery, or simply having the phone on. This interference can cause an increased level of static while listening to the radio. If static is received while listening to the radio, unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.

Diversity Antenna System The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of the vehicle. The antenna is used for the AM/FM radio, OnStar, the XM Satellite Radio Service System, and GPS; if the vehicle has these features. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the AM/FM radio, OnStar, XM system, and GPS may be affected if the sunroof is open.

Audio Players

CD Player The Infotainment system's CD player can play audio CDs and MP3 CDs. CDs that are 8 cm (3 in.) in diameter will not work in the CD player.

Care of CDs If playing a CD, the sound quality can be reduced due to disc quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the disc has been handled. Handle discs carefully. Store CDs in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a disc is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the disc may not play properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a disc while handling it; this could damage

the surface. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge. If the surface of a disc is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge.

Care of the CD Player Do not add labels to a disc, it could get caught in the CD player. If a label is needed, label the top of the recorded disc with a marking pen.

Creating an MP3/WMA Disc When creating a MP3/WMA disc: . Make sure the MP3/WMA files

are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

. Do not mix standard audio and

MP3/WMA files on one disc. . Make sure the CD does not

have more than a maximum of 50 folders and playlists, and 255 files to read and play.

. Create a folder structure that

makes it easy to find songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album. Each folder or album should contain 18 songs or less.

. Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to 8 subfolders deep, keep the total number of folders to a minimum to reduce the complexity and confusion during playback.

. Create playlists that have a .m3u

or .wpl extension, other file extensions may not work.

. Minimize the length of the file, folder or playlist names. Long file, folder, or playlist names, or a combination of a large number of files and folders, or playlists can cause the player to be unable to play up to the maximum number of files, folders, playlists, or sessions. Finalize the audio disc before burning it. Adding music to an existing disc can cause the disc not to function.

Playlists can be selected by using the previous and next folder buttons, the SEEK arrows, \ FWD, or s REV buttons. An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded using no file folders can also be played. If a CD-R or CD-RW contains more than the maximum of 50 folders and playlists, and 255 files, the player lets you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum are not accessible.

The HDD Radio can support more than 255 files on an MP3/WMA disc. The HDD Radio does not support playlists on a disc or USB storage device.

Root Directory The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio files, the directory displays as F1 DISC. All files contained directly under the root directory are accessed prior to any root directory folders. Playlists (Px) are always accessed after root folders or files. The HDD Radio displays the root directory of an MP3/WMA disc as F1 MP3 and the root directory of a USB storage device as F1 USB.

Empty Directory or Folder If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the file structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed files directly beneath them, the player advances to the next folder in the file structure that contains compressed audio files.

No Folder When the CD contains only compressed files, the files are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions do not display on a CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. The radio displays F1 DISC for the root directory. When the CD contains only playlists and compressed audio files, but no folders, all files are located under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) first and then goes to the root folder. The radio displays F1 DISC for the root directory.

Order of Play Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW play in the following order: . Play begins from the first track in

the first folder and continues sequentially through all tracks in each folder. When the last track of the last folder has played, play continues from the first track of the first playlist. ‐ Playlists can be changed by

pressing the next and previous folder button.

. Play begins from the first track in

the first playlist and continues sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has played, play continues from the first track of the first folder.

When play enters a new folder, the display does not automatically show the new folder name unless the folder mode has been chosen as the default display. The new track name displays.
