Column Shifter (Digital and Analog Cluster similar)

PARK (P): This position locks the front wheels. It’s the best position to use when you start the engine because your vehicle can’t move easily.

It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roil. (Continued)

CAUTION:

2-28

REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up.

Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is moving forward could damage your transaxle. Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is stopped. Also use this gear to rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice or sand without damaging your transaxle. See If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-30 for additional information.

NEUTRAL (N): In this position, the engine doesn’t connect with the wheels. To restart when you’re already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Also, use NEUTRAL (N) when your vnhicle is being towed.

Shifting into a drive gear while your engine is “racina’’ (runninq at hiqh speed) is dangerous. Unless your footis firmly on the brake pedal, your vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or objects. Don’t shift into a drive gear while your engine is racing.

Notice: Damage to your transaxle caused by shifting into a drive gear with the engine racing isn’t covered by your warranty.

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@): This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you’re: 9 Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push the

accelerator pedal about halfway down. Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down.

The transaxle will shift down to the next gear and have more power. Notice: If your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly, or if it seems not to shift gears as you go faster, something may be wrong with the transaxle system sensor. If your drive very far that way, your vehilce can be damaged. So, if this happens, have your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you can use SECOND (2) when you are driving IESS t k x 35 E:;=h (55 k%:!h) 2;;d AL!TOPi!AT!C OVERDRIVE (@ ) for higher speeds. THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@ ).

2-29

Here are examples for using THIRD (3) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@ ).

When driving on hilly, winding roads. When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears. When going down a steep hill.

SECOND (2): This position gives you more power. You can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on. Nofice: Don’t shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.

FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. (If the shift lever is put in FIRST (l), the transaxle won’t shift into first gear until the vehicle is going slowly enough.)

Notice: If your front wheels won’t turn, don’t try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid object. You could damage your transaxle. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in position on a hill. 2-30

Performance Shifting (DTS Only) When your vehicle detects a change in driving conditions, it will automatically initiate the appropriate performance shift mode. When this occurs, the gear display on the instrument panel cluster will change to indicate that the transaxle has shifted to a different gear. For example, the gear display on the cluster may indicate 3 or 2 even though the gearshift is still in AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (@ ). Once the performance shift mode ends, the gear display on the instrument panel cluster will return to normal. Shift Lock Release This vehicle is equipped with an electric shift lock release system. The shift lock release is designed to do the following:

Prevent the ignition key from being removed unless the shift lever is in PARK (P), and prevent movement of the console shift lever (DTS only) out of PARK (P) unless the ignition is in a position other than OFF. The shift lock release is always functional except in the case of a dead battery or low voltage (less than 9 V) battery.

The following procedure allows the ignition to be turned to OFF and for ignition key removal in case of a dead battery or low voltage battery for vehicies equipped with a column shift lever. 1. Verify that the shift lever is in PARK (P).

2. Locate the override

access slot underneath the steering column below the lock cylinder.

The following procedure applies only to vehicles equipped with the console shift lever and is used to shift the transaxie out of PARK (PI in case of a dead battery or low voltage battery.

The console shift lock release is located on the front of the center console.

PARK (P) as needed.

6. Reinstall the shift lock release hole cover and the

rubber mat.

To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot and push the parking brake pedal down with your left foot.

2-32

If the ignition is on: the brake system warning and parking brake indicator light on the instrument panel cluster should come on. If it doesn’t, you need to have your vehicle serviced. When you move out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and the engine is running, the parking brake should release. If the parking brake has not been fully released and you try to drive off with the parking brake on, the brake system warning and parking brake indicator light will come on and stay on and a multiple chime will sound. See Brake System Warning and Parking Brake indicator Light on page 3-47 for more information.

if the parking brake doesn’t fully release, you can manually release the pedal. However, be sure to read the foiiowing para--nphs:

Always shift to PARK (P) before pulling the manual release lever. If your hand or arm is in the way of the pedal you could be hurt. The pedal springs back quickly. Keep your hand and arm away when you use the manual release lever.

2-33

Before releasing the manual parking brake, be sure to put the vehicle in PARK (P) and turn the ignition to OFF.

Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can cause your rear brakes to overheat. You may have to replace them, and you could also damage other parts of your vehicle. If you are towing a trailer and are parking on a hill, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-34.

It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly level ground, use the steps that follow. If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.

Reach under the driver’s side of the instrument panel and pull down on the manual release lever, which is located behind the parking brake pedal. Pull down on the yellow tab as shown by the arrow in the illustration. If the parking brake does not release, you should have your vehicle towed to your dealer for service.

4. Turn the ignition key to OFF. 5. Remove the key and take it with you. If you can

leave your vehicle with the ignition key in your hand, your vehicle is in PARK (P).

Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running

It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with the engine running. Your vehicle could move suddenly if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. And, if you leave the vehicle with the engine running, it could overheat and even catch fire. You or others could be injured. Don’t leave your vehicle with the engine running.

If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your vehicle is in PARK (P) and your parking brake is firmly set before you leave it.

Move the shift lever into PARK (P) by pushing the lever all the way toward the front of your vehicle and then to the left. With your right foot still holding the brake pedal down, set the parking brake.

2-36

Torque Lsck If you are parking on a hill ai-id you don’! shift yow transaxle into PARK (P) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in the transaxle. You may find it difficult to pull the shift lever out of PARK (PI. This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the driver’s seat. To find out how, see Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-34. If torque lock does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some of the pressure from the parking pawl in the transaxle, so you can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).

Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock control system. You have to fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is ON. See Automatic Transaxle Operation on page 2-27. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P)l ease the pressure on the shift lever. Push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you want. If you ever hold the pedal down but still can’t shift out of PARK (P), try the following: 1. Turn the ignition key to ACCESSORY. Open and close the driver’s door to turn off the RAP feature.

2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4. 3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N). 4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear you

want.

5 Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.

Parking Over Things That Burn

Engine Exhaust

Engine exhaust can kill. It contains the gas carbon monoxide (CO), which you can’t see or smell. It can cause unconsciousness and death. You might have exhaust coming in if:

Your exhaust system sounds strange or different. Your vehicle gets rusty underneath. Your vehicle was damaged in a collision. Your vehicle was damaged when driving over high points on the road or over road debris. Repairs weren’t done correctly. Your vehicle or exhaust system had been modified improperly.

If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into your vehicle:

Drive it only with all the windows down to blow out any CO; and

0 Have your vehicle fixed immediately.

I ,,ings t l d can uurn cocld touch hot exhaust parts under your vehicle and ignite. Don’t park over papers, leaves, dry grass or other things that

burn.

Runnina 3 Your Earaine Are Parked

J - - While YOU

It’s better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are some things to know.

Idling the engine with the climate control system off could allow dangerous exhaust into your vehicle. See the earlier Caution under “Engine Exhaust.” Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even if the fan is at the highest setting. One place this can happen is a garage. Exhaust - with CO - can come in easily. NEVER park in a garage with the engine running. Another closed-in place can be a blizzard. See “Winter Driving” in the Index.

o our vehicle It can be danc ous to get out if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you’ve left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake after you move the shift lever to PARK (P).

Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle won’t move. See Shifting Into Park (f) on page 2-34. If you are parking on a hill and if you’re pulling a trailer, also see Towing a Trailer on page 4-34.

Cleaning the Mirror When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing. Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Onstar@ and Compass Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview mirror with a compass display. The mirror also contains Onstar@ controls. For more information see OnStap System on page 2-45. The automatic dimming feature functions the same as that of the automatic dimming rearview mirror without a compass. See Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStap on page 2-40. The mirror also includes an eight-point compass display in the upper right corner of the mirror face. When on, the compass automatically calibrates as the vehicle is driven.

Mirrors

Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Onstar@ Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview mirror with Onstar@ system controls. For more information about Onstar@, see OnStap System on page 2-45. When the automatic dimming feature is turned on, the mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from headlamps behind you. A photocell on the mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside. Another photocell built into the mirror face senses when headlamps are behind you. At night, when the glare is too bright, the mirror will gradually darken to reduce glare. This change may take a few seconds. The mirror will return to its clear, daytime state when the glare is reduced. Mirror Operation 6 (On/Off): This is the on/off button, located on the

lower left side of the mirror face. To turn the automatic dimming feature on or off, press the on/off button. The indicator light will be illuminated when the automatic dimming feature is on. 2-40

Mirror Operation fi (On/Off): The on/off button is located on the lower

left side of the mirror face for the electrochromic and compass functions of the rearview mirror. To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press and hold the on/off button for about three seconds. To turn off automatic dimming, press and hold the on/off button for about three seconds again. The indicator light will illuminate when this feature is active. The automatic dimming feature is active each time the vehicle is started. Compass Operation Press the on/off button once to turn the compass on or off. When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the compass will show two character boxes for approximately two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display the compass heading. Compass Calibration If after two seconds, the display does not show a compass heading (for example, N for North), there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. Such interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar magnetic item. If the letter C should ever appear in the compass window, the compass may need calibration.

The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction. The compass can be placed in calibration mode manually by pressing and holding the on/off button until a C is shown in the compass display. Compass Variance The zone is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate for compass variance if you live outside zone eight. Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is the difference between earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance, your compass could give false readings. To adjust for compass variance do the following:

1. Find the current location and variance zone number

on tho followins zone map.

..

2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone

number appears in the display.

Cleaning the Mirror When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing. Outside Power Mirrors

3. Once the zone number appears in the display, press the on/off button quickly until the correct zone number appears in the display. Stop pressing the button and the mirror will return to normal operation. If C appears in the compass window, the compass may need calibration. See Compass Calibration listed previously.

2-42

Press (R) on the selector switch to choose the right mirror or (L) to choose the left mirror. The center position is off and will not move the mirrors if the control pad is touched. To adjust a mirror, press the arrows on the control pad to move the mirror in the direction you want the mirror to go. Adjust each mirror so you can see the side of your vehicle and the area behind your vehicle.

The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent damage when going through an automatic car wash. To fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle. To return the mirror to its original position, push outward. Be sure to return both mirrors to their original unfolded positions before driving. The mirrors also have an arrow on the mirror face that flashes in the direction of the turn when the turn signal is used. See Turn SignaVMultifunction Lever on page 3-8. The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization and the parallel parking feature if you have the optional memory package. For more information, see Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-55 and DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-67. Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror

If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps benina’ you. Tnis feature is controiiea by rne on ana off settings on the automatic dimming rearview mirror. See Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Onstat@ on page 2-40.

if your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will also be capable of performing the curb view assist mirror feature. This feature will cause the passenger’s mirror to tilt to a factory programmed position when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in allowing you to view the curb when you are parallel parking. When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a five-second delay has occurred, the passenger’s mirror will return to its original position. If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted, the mirror switch may be used. This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-67 for more information.

2-43

Outside Convex Mirror Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more from the driver’s seat. This mirror does not have a dimming feature.

Outside Heated Mirrors When you operate the rear window defogger, it also warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog or ice. See Dual Climate Control System on page 3-29 for more information.

HomeLink@, a combined universal transmitter and receiver, provides a way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems and home lighting. Additional Homelink@ information can be found on the internet at www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-351 5.

Programming the HomeLink Transmitter Do not use the HomeLink@ Transmitter 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. Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink@ programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink@ buttons should be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink@ Buttons” or, for assistance, contact HomeLink@ on the internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-351 5. 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.

Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons,

releasing only when the 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 transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons.

2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink@ buttons while keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired

button on HomeLink@ 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.

4. The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly after HomeLink@ successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons.

Press and hold the newly-trained Homelink@ button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink@ button is pressed and released. To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons, begin with Step 2 under “Programming HomeLink@.” 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 equipped device (most commonly, a garage door opener). At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 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. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink@ 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. HomeLink@ should now activate your rolling code equipped device.

To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming HomeLink@.” Bo not repeat Step 1. 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 HomeLink@ 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 by using the “Programming HomeLink@” procedures (regardless of where you iivej, repiaw Siep 3 urluer ‘Froyrarrlrrlirly HomeLink@“ with the following: Continue to press and hold the HomeLink@ button while you press and release every two seconds (cycle) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been successfully accepted by HomeLink@. The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink@’to complete.

2-49

Using HomeLink@ Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink@ button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Erasing HomeLink@ Buttons To erase programming from the three buttons do the following: 1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash, after 20 seconds.

2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than

30 seconds.

HomeLink@ is now in the train (learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2 under “Programming HomeLink@.” Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single HomeLink@ Button” next.

2-50

Reprogramming a Single HomeLink@ Button To program a device to HomeLink@ using a HomeLink@ button previously trained, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink@ button. Do

not release the button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash after

20 seconds. While still holding the HomeLink@ button, proceed with Step 2 under “Programming HomeLink@.”

Resetting Defaults To reset HomeLink@ to default settings do the following: 1. Hold down the two outside buttons for about

20 seconds until the indicator light begins to flash. 2. Continue to hold both buttons until the HomeLink@

indicator light turns off. 3. Release both buttons. For questions or comments, contact HomeLink@ at 1-800-355-3515, or on the internet at www.homelink.com.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer Flash-To-Pass Feature Windshield Wipers Windshield Washer

For more information on the exterior lamps, see Exferior Lamps on page 3- 15.

Turn and Lanechange Signals To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. The lever returns automatically when the turn is complete.

I I

An arrow on the instrument panel cluster and in the outside rearview mirror will flash in the direction of the turn or lane change.

Headlamp HiahILow-Beam Push forward to change the headlamps from low beam to high. Pull the lever back and then release it to change from high beam to low.

Changer

This light on the instrument panel cluster will be on, indicating high-beam usage.

Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is complete. The lever returns when it’s released. If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a mile to remind >‘QQ !Q tllr!? It Qff. Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or lane change may be caused by a burned out signal bulb. Other drivers won’t see the turn signal. Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-94.

Flash-To-Pass This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass. Pull and hold the turn signal lever toward you to use. When you do, the following will occur:

If the heatjl3rnps are either off nr in the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) mode, the high-beam headlamps will turn on. They’ll stay on as long as you hold the lever there. Release the lever to turn them off. If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch to low beam. To return to high beam, push the lever away from you.

Windshield Wipers

WIPER: Turn the band on the turn signal lever to control the wipers. MIST: Turn the band toward you to MIST and then release it for a single wiping cycle. For more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer. LO or HI: Turn the band away from you to either LO (low speed) or to HI (high speed), depending on the wiper speed you want. Delay: Turn the band to one of the delay positions to set the wiper speed for a long or a short delay between wipes. The closer you move it to LO, the shorter the delay.

3-1 0

OFF: Turn the band to OFF to turn off the wipers. Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. Your vehicle is equipped with wiper-activated headlamps. After the windshield wipers have been on for approximately six seconds, the headlamps will automatically turn on. See Wiper Activated Headlamps under Exterior Lamps on page 3-15for more information. RainsenseTM II Wipers If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the rearview mirror. It is used to automatically operate the wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the windshield depending on driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more frequently. The RainsenseTM wipers operate in a delay mode as well as a continuous low or high speed as needed. If the system is left on for long periods of time, occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on the windshield. This is normal and indicates that the RainsenseTM system is activated.

The RainsenseTM system can be activated by turning the wiper band to one of the five sensitivity levels indicated on the wiper stalk. The position closest to OFF is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows more rain or snow to collect on the windshield between wipes. Turning the wiper band away from you to higher sensitivity levels increases the sensitivity of the system and frequency of wipes. The highest sensitivity setting, level five is closest to LO. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that the sensitivity level has been increased. Notice: The wipers must be turned off when going through a car wash to avoid damage. The MIST and wash cycles operate as normal and are not affected by the RainsenseTM function. The RainsenseTM system can be overridden at any time by manually turning the wiper band to LO or HI speed. When RainsenseTM is active, the headlamps will turn on automatically. The headlamps will turn off again once the Y!@?rs tn!?? cff if it is !i$t PnnL!gh cutside. !f it is dark, they will remain on. See Wiper-Activated Headlamps under Exterior Lamps on page 3-15 for more information. Notice: Do not place stickers or other items on the exterior glass surface directly in front of the moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the moisture sensor to malfunction.

Winds'- 'eld Washer

in freezing weather, don't use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision.

At the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever there is a paddle with the word PUSH on it. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, press and release this paddle. The wipers will clear the windshield and either stop or return to your preset speed. For more washer cycles, press and hold the paddle. CHECK WASHER FLUID will be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the washer fluid reaches a low level.

Cruise Control

The buttons to operate cruise control are located on the steering wheel. With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). When cruise control is on, you will see a CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster. When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.

3-1 2

Cruise control can be dangerous where you can’t drive safely at a steady speed. So, don’t 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 needless wheel spinning, and you could lose control. Don’t 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 4-9. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control back on.

E 1-E

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed:

Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the SET/CST button, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. Press the RES/ACC button. Hold it there until you get up to the speed that you want, and then release the button. To increase your speed in very small amounts, briefly press the RES/ACC button and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will speed up approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

The accelerate feature will only work after you have set the cruise control speed by pressing the SET/CST button. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control:

Press the SET/CST button until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET/CST button briefly. Each time you do this, the vehicle will slow down approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

3-1 4

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. 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. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you out of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise control feature. Ending Cruise Control To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the brake pedal, or press the CRUISE ON/OFF button on the steering wheel. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

The exterior lamp control is located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel.

Lamps on Reminder A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position and the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off. Daytime Running Lamps 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. The DRL system will make the low-beam headlamps come on at reduced intensity when the following conditions are met:

It is still daylight and the ignition is on, the exterior lamp control is in the off position and the transaxle is not in PARK (P).

When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will be on. No other exterior lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up either. When the Twilight Sentinel@ lever is on and it’s dark enough outside, the high-beam headlamps at reduced intensity will turn off and normal low-beam headlamp 3-1 6

operation will occur. When the Twilight Sentinel@ lever is on and it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and the high-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will take over. If it’s dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel@ lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will display on the Driver’s Information Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended even though the DRL are still illuminated. Turning on the Twilight Sentinel@ or the headlamps will deactivate the DRL and remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still deactivate and the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will continue to be displayed. To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off the Twilight Sentinel@ and shift the transaxle into PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL. The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P). To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the Twilight Sentinel@ and manually turn on the parking lamps or fog lamps (if equipped). As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it.

Fsg Lamps If your vehicle has fog lamps, use them for better visio:: in foggy or misty conditions.

The fog lamp button is located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel.

!Q tnm.

When you press the fog lamp button, a fog lamp symbol in the button and the fog lamp light on the instrument panel cluster will come on to indicate that the fog lamps and the parking lamps are on. Press the h"tt"!? .!gi!-! If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps will turn off. They'll turn back on again when you switch to low-beam headlamps. When the Twilight Sentinel@ is on and the fog lamps are turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking lamps will remain on. The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.

then? Qff

The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or parking lamps are on and you signal a turn with the multifunction lever. They provide more light for cornering. Twilight Sentinel@

This lever is located next to the exterior lamp control. It automatically turns the lamps on and off by sensing how dark it is outside.

To operate the Twilight Sentinel@ , leave the exterjor lamp control in the off position and move the TWILIGHT lever to any position but OFF.

Light Sensor

The light sensor for the DRL and the Twilight Sentinel@’ is located in the center of the front defogger grille. If you cover the sensor, it will read “dark and the exterior lamps or the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will be displayed whenever the ignition is on.

If you move the lever all the way to the right, the lamps will remain on for approximately three minutes after the ignition has been turned to OFF. If you move the lever so it is barely on, the lamps will go off quickly when you turn the ignition switch out of OFF. You can adjust the delay time from only a few seconds to about three minutes. If it’s dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel@’ lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended (it’s become dark enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps). Turning on the Twilight Sentinel or turning the exterior lamp control to the headlamp position will remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.

Parade Dimming This feature prohibits dimming of the digital displays and backlighting during daylight hours when the key is in the ignition and the headlamps are on. This feature operates with the light sensor for the Twilight Sentinel@ and is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside and the parking lamps are active, the digital displays can be adjusted by turning the instrument panel brightness knob counterclockwise to dim and clockwise to brighten lighting.

Courtesy Lamps The courtesy lamps are located on the headliner above the rear seat. These lamps come on by turning the instrument panel brightness knob fully clockwise or when any door is opened and it is dark outside. Puddle lamps are located on the bottom of the front and rear door trim. Entry Lighting This feature turns on the courtesy lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to the exterior lamp control when a door is opened or if you press the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button. If activated due to the transmitter, the lighting will remain active for about 40 seconds. Since the entry lighting system uses the light sensor, it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after the last door is closed. They will dim to off if the ignition key is placed in ON, or immediately deactivate if the power locks are activated.

The battery load management feature is designed to monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than normal to make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads may occur when several of the following are on: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, the climate control fan at high speeds, heated seats and engine cooling fans. If the battery continues to discharge, even with the engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electrical loads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs, the rear window defogger may take slightly longer to clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm as they usually do and the fan may cut back to a bwer speed.

For manual operation, press the button to turn them on. Press it again to turn them off. If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

Inadvertent Power Battery Saver This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp, glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power to these features will automatically turn off after 10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles (24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on. Night Vision System The optional Night Vision System can help you see better when you drive at night. The system works by sensing heat given off by objects in its field of view. Warmer objects, such as pedestrians, animals and other moving vehicles, will appear whiter. Colder objects, such as the sky, signs and parked vehicles, will appear darker.

3-22

Use this system as an aid to help you in seeing objects beyond the headlamps. Do this by occasionally glancing at the image as you would a rearview mirror. Do not stare at the image. The Night Vision System can be operated if:

the instrument panel brightness knob is in any position except OFF it is dark enough outside the headlamps or fog lamps (if equipped) are on and the ignition is turned to ON.

If the Night Vision System 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’s dark outside. Be sure to keep the image dim and placed low in your field of view.

Remember that the Night Vision System, can only help you see objects that are warmer or colder than the surroundings. It can’t sense things like brake lights, turn signals or emergency flashers, traffic lights or signs.

3-23

The controls for this feature are located to the left of and below the steering wheel. They are used to adjust the brightness and location of the image. Adjust the IMAGE control so the image is as low as possible while remaining visible. Slide the dimmer control until the image is no brighter than necessary to cieariy ana comtortabiy see tne image. When the system comes on, you’ll see the Night Vision System symbol in the image. After about one minute, you should see the view of the road ahead. If you don’t see the image after about two minutes (on cold days it may take !QnCJW for the image to diSp!ay), there ma.)/ be something wrong with the system. See your dealer for service.

The HUD system is located on the driver’s side of the instrument panel, next to the windshield and the camera is located behind the center of the front grille. Use only household glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the HUD or camera lens. Wipe gently and dry thoroughly. Notice: When cleaning, be careful not to scratch the HUD or camera lenses. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the HUD lens because the cleaner could leak inside the unit and cause damage. The camera must also be aligned to work correctly. If the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer. Do not attempt to adjust the camera yourself.

In dry, clear weather, the system can see pedestrians, animals and the direction of the road ahead. In light rain, light snow or light fog the image may not be as clear and you may not be able to see the direction of the road ahead. In more severe weather conditions, thc ;vage may be uncler

not usable.

Don’t use the Night Vision System to replace your normal view of the road ahead. It can’t tell you how far away things are. It senses only warmer or colder objects, not all objects. Driving by staring at the image might cause you not to see important objects in the road ahead. If you don’t see something in time, you could have a crash in which you and others could be injured. Use the Night Vision System only as a driving aid.

It is also important to keep your windshield, the HUD (Head-Up Display for the Night Vision System) lens and the camera lens clean. If you do not keep everything clean, system performance may be affected.

U!trasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)

Your vehicle may be equipped with Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA). This system can help you to determine how close an object is to your rear bumper within a given area, making parking easier.

If children, bicycles, or pets are behind your vehicle, RPA won’t tell you they are there. You could strike them and they could be injured or killed. Whether or not you are using URPA, check carefully behind your vehicle and then watch closely whenever you back up.

3-25

How the System Works URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h). When the system comes on, the three lights on the display will illuminate to let you know that the system is working. URPA senses how close your vehicle is to an object. The distance is determined by the four ultrasonic sensors located on the rear bumper. When you shift into REVERSE (R) and an object is detected, the following will occur in sequence depending on the distance from the object:

At 5 feet (1.5 m) a chime will sound and one amber light will be lit; at 40 inches (1 .O m) both amber lights will be lit; at 20 inches (0.5 m) a continuous chime will sound and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit; and at 1 foot (0.3 m) a continuous chime will sound and all three lights (ambedambedred) will flash.

URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider, and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it cannot detect objects that are above trunk level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within operating range.

If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the display will flash red, indicating that there is a problem. The light will also flash red while driving if a trailer is attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or object is on the back of, or hanging out of your trunk. The light will continue to flash until the trailer or the object is removed and your vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h). It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or materials such as paint or the system may not work properly. If after cleaning the rear bumper and driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to flash red, see your dealer. For cleaning instructions, see Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-87. It may also flash red if your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h). 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. As always, drivers should use care when backing up a vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.

Your vehicle is equipped with accessory power outlets. The outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc. If you have a vehicle with a center storage compartment located on the instrument panel, you may have an accessory power outlet in the storage drawer. There is also an outlet on the front passenger’s seat near the umbrella tray. There are two accessory power outlets in the rear seat area located on the door armrests next to the ashtrays. Your vehicle may have a small cap that must be removed to access the accessory power outlet. If it does, when not using the outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap. The accessory power outlet will only operate when the ignition is in ACCESSORY or ON and for 10 minutes after turning the. ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory power outiet to operate regaraiess oi ignition position, and for extended periods of time, see your dealer for more information.

Dual Climate Control System

With this system you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation for your vehicle.

Automatic Operation

AUTO (Automatic): When this button is pressed and the temperature is set, the system will automatically control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode and iile iarl s p e d nu I u wiii appear ur1 ii~e ciispiay. I . Press the AUTO button. 2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting

.-.--

between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C). Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. If you set the system at the warmest

temperature setting, the system will remain in manual mode at that temperature and it will not go into automatic mode. In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your vehicle until warmer air is available. The system will start out blowing air at the floor but may change modes automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The length of time needed for warm up will depend on the outside temperature and the length of time that has elapsed since your vehicle was last driven. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if necessary.

3.

Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more information on the solar sensor, see Sensors later in this section. When your vehicle is first started, the display will show the driver’s temperature setting, the fan speed, the air delivery mode and the outside temperature. When the ENG/MET (English/metric) button on the Driver Information Center (DIC) is pressed, the display will show readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Use the ENG/MET button to toggle between them.

Manual Operation A MODE v : Pressing the MODE switch and changing the mode cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. To change the current mode, select one of the following: 2 (Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel outlets. l2 (Bi-Level): This mode directs approximately half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, and then directs most of the remaining air to the floor outlets. Some air may be directed toward the windshield. In automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets. 12 (Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the floor outlets with some air directed to the outboard outlets (for the side windows) a little air directed to the windshield. The MODE switch can also be used to select the floor/defog mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can be found later in this section.

A @ v (Fan): Press this switch to increase or decrease the fan speed. Pressing this switch cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. If the airflow seems low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter may need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-36 and Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services on page 6-4.

(Recirculation): This mode keeps outside air

from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Press this button to turn the recirculation mode on or off. When the button is pressed, an indicator light will come on. The air-conditioning compressor also comes on. Driver’s Temperature Knob: Press this knob to turn the entire climate control system on or off. Turn this knob clockwise or counterclockwise to manually increase or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.

PASS TEMP V (~assenger’~ ~ e m p ~ r a t ~ r e ) : press

this switch to turn the passengers’ climate control systems on. Press this switch to manually increase or decrease the temperature for the front passenger. PASS OFF (Passenger’s Climate Control): Press this button to turn all passenger climate control systems off. If the passenger’s temperature switch is turned off, the driver’s temperature knob will control the temperature for the entire vehicle.

A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to override the automatic system and turn the air-conditioning system on or off. When in AUTO the air-conditioning compressor will come on automatically, as necessary. On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.

For quick cool down on hot days: 1. Select the vent mode. 2. Select the recirculation mode. 3. Select NC. 4. Select the coolest temperature. 5. Select the highest fan speed. Using these settings together for long periods of time may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. If your vehicle has the memory option, it can be used to recall your climate control settings. For more information, see Climate Controls Personalization on page 3-39.

Sensors

There is also a sensor located behind the front grill. This sensor reads the outside air temperature and helps to maintain the temperature inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehicle could cause a false reading in the temperature. Defogging and Defrosting There are two modes to clear fog from your windshield. Use the floor/defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode (FRONT) to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. A MODE v : Press this button until the floor/defog symbol appears on the display.

The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar radiation and the air inside your vehicle, then uses the information to maintain the selected temperature by initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery system. The system may also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the middle of the instrument panel, near the windshield, or the system will not work properly.

3-32

(Floor/Defog): This mode directs the air equally

between the windshield and the floor outlets. When you select this mode, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the floor/defog mode.

9 FRONT (Defrost): Pressing FRONT directs most of

the air to the windshield and the side window outlets, with some air directed to the floor outlets. In this mode, the system will automatically turn off recirculation and run the air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannot be selected while in the defrost mode.

Outlet Adjustment

Use the levers located in the center of each outlet to change the direction of the airflow. Use the thumbwheels to open or close the outlets.

Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the windshield that may block the flow of air into your vehicle. Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may adversely affect the performance of the system. Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more effectively. If the airflow seems low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter may need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-36 and Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services on page 6-4.

Rear Climate Control System

Your vehicle has a rear climate-control system that allows the rear-seat passengers to adjust the direction of the airflow, the fan speed and the temperature for the rear-seating area. This system also works with the main climate-control system in your vehicle. The control panel for this system is located on the back of the center console.
