Comfort Controls and Radio System Personalization These features allow both drivers to personalize their own climate control settings as well as their radio settings. For more information, see “Climate Control Personalization” and “Radio Personalization” in the Index. The outside temperature is always available for display if it has been selected for a DIC display when your vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message appears. You can change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET (English/metric) button on the instrument panel. For more information on the DIC, see “DIC Messages” in the Index. The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is first stared after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic climate control operation, the outside air temperature display may not update as quickly as expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside temperature sensor to be as close to the actual outside conditions as possible. This is determined by how much time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by vehicle speed.

The system should indicate changing the oil between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km). It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles (5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the vehicle has been driven 7,500 miles (12 500 km), it will indicate to change the oil. If you drive in a dusty area, you should change your oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or three months (whichever comes first) unless the display indicates changing it sooner. See “Engine Oil, When to Change” in the Index. When the oil is changed, you’ll need to reset the system. See “Oil Life Indicator, How to Reset” in the Index.

Oil Life Indicator

This feature lets you know when to change the engine oil. It’s based on the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns. To see the display, press the INFO button several times until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears. If you see 99% ENGINE OIL LIFE, 99 percent of your current oil life remains. The DIC may display a CHANGE ENGINE OIL message. Always keep a written record of the mileage and date when you changed your oil. For more information, see the Maintenance Schedule booklet. If you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and you should change the oil right away. The system doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check for that. To see how, see “Engine Oil” in the Index.

Comfort Controls This section tells you how to make your air system work for you. Your climate control system uses ozone-friendly R-134a refrigerant. Climate Control Panel

Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-zone electronic climate control system. This system can automatically adjust and control temperature, fan speed, air delivery mode, air conditioning operation and air intake. You can use the AUTO (automatic) setting or override the automatic operation by manually altering the controls. If your vehicle is equipped with the Climate Control Personalization feature, you will be able to program

3-2

yellowblue

your preferred climate control settings by using your remote keyless entry transmitter. See “Climate Control Personalization” in the Index. AUTO: The AUTO button will turn on the system and automatically adjust the fan blower speed, air delivery mode and temperature to your previously programmed settings. TEMP: This knob adjusts the air temperature coming through the system. Turn the TEMP knob clockwise to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. You may also press the TEMP knob to turn the system on and off. (You can turn the comfort control system on by pressing any button on the panel. The passenger’s TEMP knob only turns off the system of the passenger’s side.) Once the system is turned off, fresh air will continue to flow through the vehicle, and the system will try to maintain the previously set temperature.

Driver’s Side Temperature Knob You can control the temperature of the driver’s side independently from the passenger’s side. Turn the driver’s side TEMP knob clockwise to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to decrease the temperature.

Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob The right front passenger can control the temperature of air for both the front passenger and rear seat area. (The passenger’s and driver’s knob adjust from 60_ F (16_ C) to 90_ F (32_ C) independent of each other. It is suggested, however, that the passenger’s setting stay no more than four degrees warmer or cooler in temperature from the driver’s setting.) To turn the system on, press the passenger’s side TEMP knob. Turn the passenger’s side TEMP knob clockwise to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. Press the passenger’s side TEMP knob again to turn off the passenger’s side system. If the passenger’s side is turned off, the driver’s side will control the temperature of the entire vehicle.

Automatic Operation When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from the floor, the instrument panel or windshield outlets. The fan speed will vary as the system maintains the selected temperature setting. Be careful not to put anything over the electronic solar sensors located near the ends of the instrument panel near the windshield. These sensors are used by the automatic system to regulate temperature.

yellowblue

To find your comfort zone, start with the 75_F (24_C) setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to regulate. Turn the TEMP knob to adjust the temperature if necessary. If you choose 60_F (16_C), the system will remain at that maximum cooling setting and will not regulate fan speed. If you choose 90_F (32_C), the system will remain at that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. With the automatic setting, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to cool the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor outlets. As the interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the blower speed will decrease. To maintain interior comfort, the airflow may move to the instrument panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi-level mode). On bright sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may come out of the air conditioning outlets (A/C mode) to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.

3-3

yellowblue

If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it set on AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor outlets for a few seconds. This is normal. This is to remove hot air from the air outlets. As the air is cooled, the airflow will move through the air conditioning outlets. To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan speeds until warm air is available. The length of reduction depends on the outside air temperature, engine coolant temperature or the time since the engine was last started. As the coolant warms up, the blower fan speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the heater outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under most normal conditions. If you select defrost mode or a manual fan speed, this function will be skipped. If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the control setting the next time you start your engine, except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle cancels recirculation. Defrost will change to automatic operation when the ignition is shut off and then turned back on.

Manual Operation You may manually adjust the air delivery mode, fan speed, air input and compressor operation using the following controls.

DEFROST (FRONT): Press this button to quickly

remove fog or frost from the windshield. This setting sends most of the airflow to the windshield with only a small amount to the floor outlets.

RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or limit odors entering your vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the system will use recirculation as necessary to cool the air. Pressing the recirculation button will change the operation to a manual mode and the air will recirculate non-stop. Press this button again to turn off the recirculation feature. If you notice the windows fogging, press the recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode. Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.

3-4

A/C: Press this button to turn the air conditioning compressor on and off. When you press the button, an A/C OFF message appears on the climate control panel’s display. Press the button again and the air conditioner will return to automatic control. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. In the automatic mode, the air conditioning compressor only operates when the system determines it is needed. The A/C OFF function is not available in the defrost mode. MODE: Press this button (the right or left arrow) to deliver air through the floor, instrument panel or windshield outlets. The climate control system will stay in the selected mode until the MODE button, the DEFROST button or the AUTO button is pressed again. Press the left or right arrow to cycle through the following available modes.

through the floor outlets. Some warm air is diverted to the windshield to minimize fogging.

HEATER: This setting directs warmed air

FAN: The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed. Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed. Press the AUTO button to set the fan speed for automatic operation. If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum high fan speed right away. The system checks the temperature of the engine coolant to assure it is warm enough to provide heat. When the engine coolant is warm, the controller allows the fan to gradually increase to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from blowing into the passenger’s compartment. Selecting a manual fan speed will override this feature.

yellowblue

Air Conditioning On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best. Your A/C setting may be adjusted automatically or manually. It may also be set separately on the passenger’s side from the driver’s side. See “Climate Control Panel” earlier in this section. Heating Adjust the interior temperature to a comfortable level and if the fan speed needs adjusting, press the up or down arrow. Adjusting the fan speed will cancel the cold air delay. Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor, air conditioning or bi-level outlets. The heater works best if you keep your windows closed while using it. In automatic operation, your fan will not run at high speed to minimize warm-up time.

Electronic Solar Sensor

The sensor monitors the sun’s solar radiation and is located near the end of the instrument panel near the windshield. The climate control panel uses this information to automatically make the necessary temperature and airflow adjustments to maintain your comfort. The climate control system may supply cooler air to one side of your vehicle, if that side is facing the sun. Be careful not to put anything over the sensor on top of the instrument panel.

3-6

Defrosting and Defogging Use defrost (front) on cool and humid days to keep the windshield and side windows clear. This setting will remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions. If you desire to have more air on your feet, turn the control to the defog mode. You may do this by pressing the right or left arrow on the MODE button. Press the fan button’s up or down arrow to control the blower speed. You may also adjust the temperature by turning the TEMP knob. The recirculation mode and the A/C OFF message are not available in the defrost mode. Rear Window Defogger

Ventilation System Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or the air conditioning fan is running.

Rear Ventilation

yellowblue

The direction and quantity of airflow for the rear seats can also be adjusted at the back of the console. Heater outlets are located under the front seat to warm the feet of rear passengers. Move the fan lever to adjust the blower speed from LO to HI. Adjust the knob to direct the air flow. To reduce airflow to the rear outlets, slide the fan lever all the way to the left. Turning the knob to OFF will completely stop airflow, no matter where the fan blower control is set.

The front outlets are located in the center and at each side of the instrument panel. You can adjust the direction of airflow by moving the center control levers or you can stop the airflow by moving the control dial located on each outlet downward.

Ventilation Tips D Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or

any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater and defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of the windows. D Keep the air path under the front seats clear of

objects. This helps circulate air throughout your vehicle.

Passenger Compartment Air Filter Passenger compartment air, both outside air and recirculated air, is routed through a passenger compartment filter, which is part of a three-piece filter system. The carbon-treated filter removes certain contaminants from the air, including pollen and dust particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs to be replaced early.

The filter is located inside the air control module, with an access panel under the instrument panel near the accelerator pedal. The filter should be replaced as part of routine scheduled maintenance. See the Maintenance Schedule booklet for replacement intervals. See your dealer for details on changing the filter. Your vehicle will not be damaged if you choose not to replace the filter once the old one is removed.

Console-Mounted CD Changer (Option)

With the compact disc changer, you can play up to six discs continuously. Normal size discs may be played using the slots supplied in the magazine. You must first load the magazine with discs before you can play a compact disc. Load the CDs from bottom to top, placing a disc in the magazine label side up.

Once you have loaded the discs in the magazine, slide open the door of the compact disc (CD) changer. Push the magazine into the changer in the direction of the arrow marked on top of the magazine. Close the door by sliding it all the way forward. When the CD magazine is loaded, the changer will begin checking for discs in the magazine. This will continue for up to one minute, depending on the number of discs loaded. To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD changer door all the way open, then press the eject button. Remember to keep the door closed whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting inside the changer. Whenever a CD magazine with discs is loaded in the changer, the CD changer symbol will appear on the radio display. If the CD changer is checking the magazine for CDs, the CD symbol will flash on the display until the changer is ready to play. When a CD begins playing, a disc and track number will be displayed. The disc numbers are listed on the front of the magazine. All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio buttons, except for ejecting the CD magazine.

Compact Disc Changer Errors CD CHANGER ERROR could be displayed for the following: D The road is too rough. The disc should play when the

road is smoother.

D The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or loaded label

side down.

D The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and

try again.

If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be corrected, please contact your dealer. Radio Personalization with Home and Away Feature (If Equipped) If DRIVER 1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or DRIVER 2 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears in the display when the radio is first turned on, your vehicle is equipped with this feature.

With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall their own radio settings. The settings recalled by the radio are determined by which Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the RKE transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. The radio settings will automatically adjust to where they were last set by the identified driver. The settings can also be recalled by briefly pressing the MEMORY seat buttons 1 or 2 located on the driver’s door. Your radio can store home and away presets. Home and away presets allow you to use one set of preset radio settings in the area where you live, and another set when you go out of town. That way, you will not need to reprogram your presets every time you travel. With the radio off and the clock displayed, use FF and RW to select home or away presets. To select the away presets, press and hold FF for five counts until you hear a beep. The next time the radio comes on, the away presets will be active. To select the home presets, press and hold RW for five counts until you hear a beep. The next time the radio comes on, the home presets will be active.

When battery power is removed and later applied, you will not have to reset your home radio presets because the radio remembers them. However, you will have to reset your away radio presets. Theft-Deterrent Feature THEFTLOCKR is designed to discourage theft of your radio. Your vehicle has a “built-in” theft-deterrent feature on each radio that is automatic -- there is no programming required. The radio in your vehicle cannot be used in any other vehicle. When the radio was originally installed in your vehicle at the factory, it stored the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Each time the ignition is turned on, the VIN is verified. If the vehicle’s VIN does not match the VIN stored in the radio, THEFTLOCK will be activated and the audio system will not play. If the radio is removed from your vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used to trace the radio back to your vehicle.

Audio Steering Wheel Controls

Some audio controls can be adjusted at the steering wheel. They include the following:

VOL: Press the up arrow button to increase volume and the down arrow button to decrease volume.

yellowblue

SEL: When listening to the radio, press the up or down arrow button to tune to the next or previous preset radio station. When listening to a cassette tape, the up or down arrow button can be used to SEEK forward and rearward through the tape. Pressing the up or down arrow button when listening to a CD will cause the player to go to the next or previous selection. When in Radio Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) mode, the up or down arrow button can be used to perform a PTY preset seek. PSEEK will appear on the display while the PTY preset seek is performed. The radio will seek all of the PTYs stored in presets, except for the PTY Any. Understanding Radio Reception

AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.

FM Stereo FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.

Weather Band (If Equipped) Weather band is restricted to speech and the audio quality is not as good as with the AM or FM bands. Depending on location, the radio should receive one or two channels. Tips About Your Audio System Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it. To help avoid hearing loss or damage: D Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting. D Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably

and clearly.

3-32

NOTICE:

Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle -- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio -- be sure you can add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio or other systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may also interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added improperly. So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or may cause failure of the tape player. Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every 50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLEAN TAPE to indicate that you have used your tape player for 50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. If this message appears on the display, your cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent damage to your tapes and player. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette to see if it is the tape or the tape player at fault. If this other cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player. The recommended cleaning method for your cassette tape player is the use of a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. The recommended cleaning cassette is available through your dealership (GM Part No. 12344789).

3-33

yellowblue

The use of a non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning cassette is not recommended. After you clean the player, press and hold the eject button for three seconds to reset the CLEAN TAPE indicator. The radio will display CLEAN TAPE MSG CLEARED to show the indicator was reset. Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette tape is in good condition before you have your tape player serviced. Care of Your Compact Discs Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge. Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

When using a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette, it is normal for the cassette to eject because your unit is equipped with a cut tape detection feature and a cleaning cassette may appear as a broken tape. To prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected, use the following steps. 1. Turn the ignition to ON or ACC. 2. Turn the radio off. 3. Press and hold the SOURCE button for two seconds.

The tape symbol on the display will flash three times.

4. Turn the radio on and insert the scrubbing action

cleaning cassette.

5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer’s

recommended cleaning time.

When the cleaning cassette has been ejected, the cut tape detection feature is active again. You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not eject on its own. A non-scrubbing action cleaner may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.

If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you hear static on your radio station, it could mean that a defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true, the grid line must be repaired. If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for the AM-FM antennas or place the cellular telephone antenna over the grid lines.

Care of Your Compact Disc Player The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD mechanism. Diversity Antenna System Your AM-FM antennas are located in the front windshield and rear window. Be sure that the inside surfaces of the front windshield and rear window are not scratched and that the lines on the glass are not damaged. If the inside surfaces are damaged, they could interfere with radio reception.

NOTICE:

Do not try to clear frost or other material from the inside of the rear window with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp. This may damage the rear defogger grid and affect your radio’s ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
