1. Use a tool to remove the cap with the lock symbol located next to the shift lever. 2. Using a narrow, pointed tool, press down on the mechanism under the cap so that you can move the shift lever. 2-27 Also the odometer on the instrument panel cluster will change to show gear range. While using the DSC feature the vehicle will have ﬁrmer shifting and increased performance. You can use this for sport driving or when climbing hills to stay in gear longer or to down shift for more power. The transmission will only allow you to shift into gears appropriate for the vehicle speed and rpm. The transmission will not automatically shift to the next higher gear if the engine rpm is too high. Driver Shift Control (DSC) Your automatic transmission has a Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature that allows you to change gears similar to a manual transmission. To use the DCS feature: 1. Slide the shift lever over from AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) to the right DSC area. When the transmission is in DSC mode the sport mode light in the instrument panel cluster will come on. 2. Press the shift lever forward to upshift or rearward to downshift. 2-28 All-Wheel Drive If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, engine power is sent to all four wheels all the time. This is like four-wheel drive, but it is fully automatic. Parking Brake The parking brake pedal is located on the lower portion of the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. 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. If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light on the instrument panel cluster should come on. If it doesn’t, you need to have your vehicle serviced. See BrakeSystemWarningLightonpage3-42 for more information. To release the parking brake, pull the release lever located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the brake system and cause premature wear or damage to brake system parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off before driving. A warning chime will sound if the parking brake is set, the ignition is on and the vehicle begins to move. To stop the chime, fully release the parking brake. If you are towing a trailer and parking on a hill, see TowingaTraileronpage4-54for more information. 2-29 3. Turn the key to OFF. 4. Remove the key from the ignition switch and take it with you. If you can leave your vehicle with the key in your hand, the vehicle is in PARK (P). Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running {CAUTION: 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. Do not leave your vehicle with the engine running. Shifting Into Park (P) {CAUTION: 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 will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, use the steps that follow. If you are pulling a trailer, see TowingaTraileronpage4-54. To shift into PARK (P), use the following steps: 1. Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot. 2. Move the shift lever into PARK (P) like this: • Press the button on the front of the shift lever as you push the shift lever all the way toward the front of your vehicle into PARK (P). Release the button. • With your right foot still holding the brake pedal down, set the parking brake with your left foot. See ParkingBrakeonpage2-29for more information. 2-30 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. After you’ve moved the shift lever into PARK (P), hold the regular brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift lever away from PARK (P) without ﬁrst pushing the button on the shift lever. If you can, it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully locked into PARK (P). Torque Lock If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into PARK (P) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in the transmission. You may ﬁnd it difficult to pull the shift lever out of PARK (P). 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)” listed previously. 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 transmission, so you can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P). Shifting Out of Park (P) Your vehicle has an automatic transmission shift lock control system. You have to fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is in ON. See AutomaticTransmissionOperation on page2-25 for more information. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease the pressure on the shift lever. Push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) while pushing the button on the shift lever 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. 2-31 Parking Over Things That Burn Engine Exhaust {CAUTION: Engine exhaust can kill. It contains the gas carbon monoxide (CO), which you can not 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 were not 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 • Have your vehicle ﬁxed immediately. {CAUTION: Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust parts under your vehicle and ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves, dry grass or other things that can burn. 2-32 Running Your Engine While You Are Parked It is better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are some things to know. {CAUTION: Idling the engine with the climate control system off could allow dangerous exhaust into your vehicle. See the earlier Caution under EngineExhaustonpage2-32. Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even if the climate control 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 WinterDrivingonpage4-41. {CAUTION: 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. Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P). Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle will not move. See Shifting Into Park (P) on page2-30. If you are pulling a trailer, see TowingaTraileron page4-54. 2-33 Mirrors Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar® Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming inside rearview mirror. The mirror also contains OnStar® controls. For more information about OnStar®, see OnStar® System on page2-39. O (On/Off): This is the on/off button, located on the lower left side of the mirror, for the automatic dimming functions of the rearview mirror. Mirror Operation The automatic dimming feature is active each time the vehicle is started. To turn the automatic dimming feature on or off, press and release the on/off button. The indicator light will illuminate when this feature is active. 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 inside rearview mirror with a compass. The mirror also contains OnStar® controls. For more information about OnStar®, see OnStar® System on page2-39. The mirror has 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. O (On/Off): This is the on/off button, located on the lower left side of the mirror, for the automatic dimming and compass functions of the rearview mirror. 2-34 Mirror Operation The automatic dimming feature is active each time the vehicle is started. To turn the automatic dimming feature on or off, press and release the on/off button. The indicator light will illuminate when this feature is active. 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 current compass heading. Compass Calibration If after two seconds the display does not show a compass heading (N for North for example), there may be a strong magnetic ﬁeld interfering with the compass. Such interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, note pad holder or similar object. 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 by pressing and holding the on/off button until a C is shown in the compass display. 2-35 Compass Variance Compass variance is the difference between earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north. If the mirror is not adjusted for compass variance, your compass could give false readings. The mirror is set in 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, such as a long distance, cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust the compass variance. To adjust for compass variance, do the following: 1. Find your current location and variance zone number on the zone map that follows. 2-36 2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone number appears on the display. 3. Once the zone number appears on the display, press the on/off button quickly until you reach the correct zone number. 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. 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 Heated Mirrors The control on the driver’s door armrest operates both outside rearview mirrors. Press the left mirror symbol on the selector switch to choose the driver’s side mirror or the right mirror symbol to choose the passenger’s side mirror. The center position is off and will not move the mirrors if the control pad is touched. Once you select the mirror you want to adjust, use 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 position before driving. When you operate the rear window defogger, it also warms both outside rearview mirrors to help clear them of fog or ice. See “Rear Window Defogger” under DualClimateControlSystemonpage3-26 for more information. 2-37 Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror Your driver’s side mirror may have an automatic dimming feature. This helps to reduce glare from the headlamps of vehicles behind you. 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. {CAUTION: A convex mirror can make things (like other vehicles) look farther away than they really are. If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes. Outside Curb View Assist Mirror If your vehicle is equipped with the memory seat and 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 preselected position when the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE (R). Use this feature 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 controls can be used. See OutsidePower HeatedMirrorsonpage2-37 for more information. This feature can be enabled/disabled through the DIC. See DICVehiclePersonalizationonpage3-74 for more information. 2-38 OnStar® System OnStar® uses global positioning system (GPS) satellite technology, wireless communications, and call centers to provide you with a wide range of safety, security, information and convenience services.

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 1-800-355-3515. If your vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink® Transmitter, it complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Changes and modiﬁcations to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to use this equipment. 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. If you have a newer garage door opener with rolling codes, please be sure to follow steps 6 through 8 to complete the programming of your HomeLink® Transmitter. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the HomeLink® Transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in programming the transmitter. 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 1-800-355-3515. 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. 2-41 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. 5. 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). 6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 2-42 7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8. 8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the programmed 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®.” Do 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 live), replace Step 3 under “Programming 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. 2-43 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. 2-44 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.

This can cause you to lose control. What you are carrying could be violently torn off, and this could cause you or other drivers to have a collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You may be able to carry something like this inside. But, never carry something longer or wider than the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle. 2-46 If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. The luggage carrier has side rails attached to the roof. You can get sliding crossrails through your dealer to use for tying things down. These let you load some things on top of your vehicle, as long as they are not wider or longer than the luggage carrier. Convenience Net The convenience net attaches to the ﬂoor or back wall of the rear of the vehicle using six anchor points. The net can be used like a hammock across the rear of the vehicle or hooked on the ﬂoor. Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or quick starts and stops. The net is not for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the rear of the vehicle as far forward as you can. Cargo Management System Your vehicle may have a cargo management system. It provides extra storage space for the rear of the vehicle. The cargo management system has three compartments. The one closest to the front of the vehicle opens from behind the second row. The center compartment has a divider. The compartment closest to the rear of the vehicle has a removable storage bin. Cargo Cover If your vehicle has a cargo cover, you can use it to cover items in the rear of the vehicle. Pull the cover from the passenger’s side to the driver’s side and slide the ends into the slots to secure it. When it is not in use, take the ends out of the slots and allow the cover to roll back up. 2-47 Sunroof Sunroof (UltraView) {CAUTION: People who are in a crash and not wearing a safety belt properly can suffer much worse injuries. They can hit things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it, and be seriously injured or killed. This is true for any vehicle occupant, in any motor vehicle, but if you have the Ultraview roof it is, if anything, even more important. In a rollover or other crash, the Ultraview roof can be damaged or destroyed. People who are unbelted would then be at even greater risk of being ejected from the vehicle.

Your hazard warning ﬂashers work no matter what position your key is in, and even if the key isn’t in. Press the button to make the front and rear turn signal lamps ﬂash on and off. The light in the center of the button will ﬂash, indicating that the hazard warning ﬂashers are on. Press the button again to turn the ﬂashers off. When the hazard warning ﬂashers are on, neither your turn signals nor your Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) will work. Your hazard warning ﬂashers let you warn others. They also let police know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lamps will ﬂash on and off. 3-6 Other Warning Devices If you carry reﬂective triangles, you can set one up at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle. Horn Press on the pad near the horn symbols on the steering wheel to sound the horn. Tilt Wheel A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can raise it to the highest level to give your legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle. The lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel is located on the left side of the steering column. To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the lever. Then move the steering wheel to a comfortable position and release the lever to lock the wheel in place. 3-7 Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever Turn and Lane-Change Signals To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. The lever returns automatically when the turn is complete. An arrow on the instrument panel cluster will ﬂash in the direction of the turn or lane change. The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following: • Turn and Lane-Change Signals • Headlamps • Headlamp High/Low Beam-Changer • Flash-To-Pass Feature • Fog Lamps • Cruise Control For more information on the exterior lamps, see Exterior Lamps on page3-18. 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 to its original position when it’s released. Arrows that ﬂash rapidly when signaling for a turn or lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb. Other driver’s won’t see the 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 page5-100 for more information. 3-8 Turn Signal On Chime If the turn signal is left on for about 1 mile (1.6 km), a warning chime will sound and the Turn Signal On message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. See “Turn Signal On Message” under DIC WarningsandMessagesonpage3-65 for more information. Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer Push forward on the turn signal/multifunction lever to change the headlamps from low to high beam. Pull the lever back and then release it to change from high to low beam. This light on the instrument panel cluster will be on, indicating high-beam usage. Flash-To-Pass Feature This feature allows you to use the high-beam headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass. Pull and hold the turn signal/multifunction lever toward you to use this feature. When you do, the following will occur: • If the headlamps are either off, in low-beam or in 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 in high-beam mode, they will switch to low beam. To return to high-beam, push the lever away from you. 3-9 Headlamps The exterior lamp control is located in the middle of the turn signal/multifunction lever. O(Exterior Lamp Control): Turn the control with this symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps. The exterior lamp control has four positions: O (On/Off): Turn the control to this position to turn off all lamps except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). AUTO (Automatic): Turn the control to this position to put the headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode will turn the exterior lamps on and off depending upon how much light is available outside of the vehicle. ; (Parking Lamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the parking lamps together with the following: • Sidemarker Lamps • Taillamps • License Plate Lamps • Instrument Panel Lights 5 (Headlamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights. 3-10 Wiper-Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for about six seconds. For this feature to work, the exterior lamp control must be in AUTO. When the exterior lamp control is off or in the parking lamp position and the windshield wiper control is in any position except off, the Headlamps Suggested message will appear on the DIC display. See “Headlamps Suggested Message” under DICWarnings andMessagesonpage3-65 for more information. When the ignition is turned to OFF, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. They will also turn off if the windshield wiper control is turned off. Headlamps 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. 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. -: The band with this symbol is used to turn the fog lamps on and off. The parking lamps must be on for the fog lamps to work. To turn the fog lamps on, turn the fog lamp band on the lever up to the dot and release it. The band will return to its original position. To turn the fog lamps off, turn the for lamp band up to the dot and release it. The band will return to its original position, and the fog lamps will turn off. If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps will also turn off. They’ll turn back on again when you switch back to low-beam headlamps. 3-11 Cruise Control These controls are located on the end of the multifunction lever. With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). If you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off. {CAUTION: 9(Off): This position turns the system off. R(On): This position activates the system. + (Resume/Accelerate): Push the lever to this symbol to make the vehicle resume to a previously set speed or to accelerate when cruise is already active. T(Set/Decrease): Press this button to set the speed or to decrease the speed when cruise is already active. 3-12 • Cruise control can be dangerous where you can not drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use your cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. • Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel spinning, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See TractionControlSystem (TCS)onpage4-9and Stabilitrak®Systemonpage4-10. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control back on. Setting Cruise Control {CAUTION: If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control. 1. Move the cruise control switch to on. 2. Get up to the speed you want. 3. Press in the set button at the end of the lever and release it. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. This light on the instrument panel cluster will come on while cruise control is on. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, disengages the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch brieﬂy from on to resume/accelerate. You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at resume/accelerate. 3-13 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 button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed. • Move the cruise switch from on to resume/accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch brieﬂy to resume/accelerate. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: • Press in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, brieﬂy press the set button. Each time you do this, you’ll go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. 3-14 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 to keep your speed down. Applying the brake will take you out of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake due to the grade of the downhill slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise control feature. Ending Cruise Control To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the brake pedal. Stepping on the brake pedal will end the current cruise control session only. Move the cruise control switch to off to turn off the system completely. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. Windshield Wiper Lever Windshield Wipers 9 (Off): Put the lever in this position to turn off the wipers. & (Delay): Put the lever in this position to set a delay between wipes. Turn the delay adjustment band to set the length of the delay. The lever on the right side of the steering column operates the windshield wipers. 7 (Mist): Pull the lever down and release it for a single wiping cycle. The lever will return to its original position. For more cycles, hold the lever down before releasing it. x (Delay Adjustment): Use this band to set the length of the delay between wipes when using the delay feature. The closer you move the band toward mist, the longer the delay. The windshield wiper lever must be in delay for this feature to work. 3-15 6 (Low Speed): Put the lever in this position for slow, steady wiping cycles. 1 (High Speed): Put the lever in this position for rapid wiping cycles. If the windshield wipers are in use for about six seconds while you are driving, the exterior lamps will come on automatically if the exterior lamp control is in AUTO. See “Wiper-Activated Headlamps” listed previously for more information. Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. If the blades do become damaged, install new blades or blade inserts. For more information, see WindshieldWiperBladeReplacement on page5-56. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. Windshield Washer {CAUTION: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer ﬂuid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. The windshield washer button is located at the end of the windshield wiper lever. K (Washer Fluid): Press the button with this symbol located at the end of the windshield washer lever to wash the windshield. Washer ﬂuid will squirt onto the windshield and the wipers will run for a few cycles to clear the windshield. For more wash cycles, press and hold the button. 3-16 Headlamp Washers Your vehicle may have headlamp washers. The headlamp washers clear the headlamp lenses so that you can get the maximum visibility and brightness from your headlamps. If your vehicle is low on washer ﬂuid, the Check Washer Fluid message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. See DICWarningsandMessages on page3-65 for more information. If the headlamps are on when you wash the windshield, the headlamp washers (if equipped) will turn on. Both the windshield and the headlamps will be washed. See “Headlamp Washers” following for more information. Rear Washer/Wiper The switch for the rear washer/wiper is located in the overhead console. Pressing the top of the switch or the bottom of the switch will put the rear wiper on a delay. Pressing the center of the switch will wash the rear window. The headlamp washers are located to the inside of the headlamps. 3-17 The headlamps must be on in order to be washed. If the headlamps are off, only the windshield will be washed when the washer button is pressed. To wash the headlamps, press the washer button located at the end of the windshield wiper lever. Both the headlamps and the windshield will be washed. See “Windshield Washer” listed previously for more information. Cruise Control The controls to operate the cruise control are located on the turn signal/multifunction lever. See “Cruise Control” under TurnSignal/MultifunctionLeveronpage3-8 for information. Exterior Lamps Headlamps See TurnSignal/MultifunctionLeveronpage3-8 for more information on the headlamps. 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 turn signal lamps come on when the following conditions are met: • It is still daylight and the ignition is in ON or START, • the exterior lamp control is in OFF or AUTO with the headlamps off, and • an automatic transmission is not in PARK (P) or the parking brake is not set on a manual transmission. 3-18 When DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps will be on. No other exterior lamps will be on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up either. When the exterior lamp control is in AUTO and it’s dark enough outside, the DRL will turn off and the low-beam headlamps will turn on. When it’s bright enough outside, the low-beam headlamps will go off, and the DRL will turn back on. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system will come on immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will take about one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness lever is in the full bright position. See “Instrument Panel Brightness” under InteriorLampsonpage3-21. If it’s dark enough outside and the exterior lamp control is off, a Headlamps Suggested message will appear on the Driver’s Information Center (DIC) display. This message informs the driver that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended even though the DRL are still illuminated. Turning the exterior lamp control to AUTO or to the low-beam headlamp position will turn off the DRL and cancel the Headlamps Suggested message. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still turn off and the Headlamps Suggested message will be displayed. You can turn it off by pressing the OK button if you have the Navigation audio system or the CLR button if you have the Base audio system. To operate your vehicle with the DRL off, turn the exterior lamp control off. Then turn on the fog lamps or parking lamps, and the DRL will turn off. The Headlamps Suggested message will appear on the DIC display. This will work regardless of gear position and whether or not the parking brake is set. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. 3-19 Light Sensor Exterior Lighting Battery Saver If the parking lamps or headlamps have been left on, the exterior lamps will turn off about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF. This protects against draining the battery in case you have accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on. The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are turned on after the ignition is turned to OFF. If you need to leave the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn the lamps back on. The light sensor for the DRL and AUTO headlamp feature is located on top of the instrument panel. If you cover the sensor, it will read dark, and the exterior lamps or the Headlamps Suggested message will appear on the DIC whenever the ignition is on. 3-20 Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness The lever for this feature is located on the overhead console. Slide the lever toward the symbol to brighten the lights or away from it to dim them. If you slide the lever all the way toward the symbol past the resistance point, the interior lamps will come on. To turn them off, slide the lever back toward the minimum brightness setting. 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 you press the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button. If activated by the transmitter, the lighting will remain active for about 25 seconds. The entry lighting system uses the light sensor; 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 will dim to off if the ignition key is placed in ON, or immediately deactivate if the power locks are activated. Parade Dimming This feature prohibits dimming of the instrument panel 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 and is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside and the parking lamps are active, the instrument panel displays can be adjusted by sliding the instrument panel brightness lever toward the symbol to brighten or away from the symbol to dim the lighting. 3-21 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. Press it again to turn the lamp off. If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off. Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system is designed to help you park, while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). It operates only at very low speeds, less than 3 mph (5 km/h). URPA can help make parking easier and to help you avoid colliding with objects such as parked vehicles. The URPA system can detect objects up to 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the vehicle, and tell you how close these objects are from your rear bumper. {CAUTION: Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist system, the driver must check carefully before backing up. The system does not operate above typical backing speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) while parking. And, the system does not detect objects that are more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) behind the vehicle. So, unless you check carefully behind you before and when you back up, you could strike children, pedestrians, bicyclists or pets behind you, and they could be injured or killed. Whether or not you are using Rear Park Assist, always check carefully behind your vehicle before you back up and then watch closely as you do. 3-22 The URPA display is located inside the vehicle, above the liftgate glass. It has three color-coded lights that can be seen through the rearview mirror or by turning around. 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 turns on, the three lights on the display will illuminate for one and a half seconds to let you know that the system is working. If your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), the red light will ﬂash to remind you that the system does not work at speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h). If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R) speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h), one of the following will occur: Description amber light amber/amber lights amber/amber/red lights & continuous chime amber/amber/red lights ﬂashing & continuous chime English 5 ft. 40 in. 20 in. Metric 1.5 m 1.0 m 0.5 m 1 ft 0.3 m A chime will sound the ﬁrst time an object is detected between 20 inches (0.5 m) and 5 feet (1.5 m) away. URPA cannot detect objects that are above liftgate level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within detection range behind the vehicle. 3-23 When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly The light may ﬂash red when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush. Other conditions that may affect system performance include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or the compression of air brakes on a very large truck. If after cleaning the rear bumper and then driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to ﬂash red, see your dealer. If a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or an object was on the back of, or hanging out of your liftgate during your last drive cycle, the light may also ﬂash red. The light will continue to ﬂash whenever in REVERSE (R) until your vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h) without any obstructions behind the vehicle. For cleaning instructions, see CleaningtheOutsideof Your Vehicle on page5-95. Accessory Power Outlets 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. Your vehicle has one outlet in front of the center console, one in the rear of the center console, one in the rear compartment, and there may be an additional outlet in the rear of the center console. 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 to OFF. If you would like the accessory power outlet to operate regardless of ignition position, and for extended periods of time, you can do the following: 1. Open the hood and locate the underhood fuse block. 2. Find the I/P OUTLET and OUTLET fuses and move them over a space, to the open cavity next to each fuse. 3-24 Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn off electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum amperage rating. Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible to the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem see your dealer for additional information on the accessory power outlets. Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your vehicle may damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment. Follow the proper installation instructions that are included with any electrical equipment you install. Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only. Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter Your vehicle may have an ashtray and cigarette lighter. Notice: If you put papers or other ﬂammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never put ﬂammable items in the ashtray. Ashtray The ashtray is located under the climate control panel on the center console. Press on the door to release the ashtray. To empty the ashtray, remove it from the center console by gripping the edges and pulling straight out. To reinstall, push the tray back into place. There may also be ashtrays in the rear doors. 3-25 Climate Controls Dual Climate Control System With this system you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation for your vehicle. Cigarette Lighter Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is heating will not allow the lighter to back away from the heating element when it is hot. Damage from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it is heating. The cigarette lighter is located next to the ashtray. The vehicle does not have any cigarette lighters for the rear seat passengers. Press the lighter all the way in and release it. It will pop back out by itself once the element has heated for use. Cigarette lighters can be used to provide power to accessories. See AccessoryPowerOutletson page3-24 for more information. 3-26 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, the air conditioning compressor and the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the display. 1. 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. 3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if necessary. You can switch from English to metric units through the Driver Information Center (DIC). If you have the Base audio system, see DICMainMenuonpage3-61. If you have the Navigation system, see “Setup Menu” in the Index of the Entertainment and Navigation System Supplement. 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. 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. 3-27 Manual Operation yN z (Mode): 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. The outboard air outlets will always receive airﬂow regardless of the mode selected. See OutletAdjustment onpage3-32 to change this airﬂow from the outboard outlets. To change the current mode, select one of the following: Y (Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel outlets. \ (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. [ (Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the ﬂoor outlets with some air directed to the outboard outlets (for the side windows), and a little air directed to the windshield. The MODE switch can also be used to select the defog mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can be found later in this section. yAz (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 PassengerCompartmentAirFilteronpage3-35 and Scheduled Maintenance on page6-4. 3-28 QPWRR (Power/Passenger’s Temperature): Press the PWR button located on the passenger’s side of the climate control panel to turn the passenger’s climate control system on. Press the up or down arrow on the switch to increase or decrease the temperature for the front passenger. A/C OFF (Air Conditioning): Press this button to manually turn off the air conditioning compressor. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation or press the A/C OFF button again. h (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. The air-conditioning compressor also comes on. Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode and will automatically turn off after 10 minutes when defog is selected. Using recirculation for long periods of time may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry or stuffy. To prevent this from happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. QPWRR (Power/Driver’s Temperature): Press the PWR button located on the driver’s side of the climate control panel to turn the entire climate control system on or off. Press the up or down arrow on the switch to increase or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle. 3-29 Sensors There is also an interior temperature sensor located to the right of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. There is a solar sensor located on the instrument panel, near the windshield. These sensors monitor the solar radiation and the air inside your vehicle, then use 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 sensors or the automatic climate control system will not work properly. 3-30 0 (Defrost): Pressing defrost directs most of the air to the windshield, with some air directed to the side windows. 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. This mode may also cause the fan speed and air temperature to increase. If you have fogging on the side windows, turn the thumbwheel on the outboard outlets to the side window defog position. See OutletAdjustmentonpage3-32 for more information. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly. There are two modes to clear fog from your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. yN z (Mode): Press this button until defog appears on the display. - (Defog): This mode directs the air between the windshield, ﬂoor outlets and side windows. 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 is cancelled when you enter defog mode. If you select recirculation while in defog mode, it will be cancelled after 10 minutes. If you have fogging on the side windows, turn the thumbwheel on the outboard outlets to the side window defog position. See OutletAdjustmentonpage3-32 for more information. 3-31 Outlet Adjustment Use the knobs located in the center of each outlet to change the direction of the airﬂow. Use the thumbwheels to open or close the outlets. Use the thumbwheel on the front outboard outlets to select from the following positions. Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window. The rear window defogger will only work when the ignition is in ON. = (Rear Window Defogger): Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window as possible. The rear window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes after the button is pressed. Or, if the vehicle’s speed is above 30 mph (48 km/h), the rear defogger will stay on continuously. If turned on again, the defogger will only run for about ﬁve minutes before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off the engine. The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defogger button is on. Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window may damage the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not clear the inside of the rear window with sharp objects. 3-32 j (Side Window Defog): Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to use the side window defog setting. The air coming through the outlets will be directed toward the side windows to clear fog. k (Open): Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to open the outlets completely and allow the maximum amount of air to enter your vehicle. A small amount of air will still be directed to the side windows. l (Closed): Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to close the outlets and minimize the amount of air entering the vehicle. 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 PassengerCompartmentAirFilter on page3-35. 3-33 Rear Air Conditioning System If your vehicle has the rear air conditioning system it has two fan speed selectors. One fan speed selector is located in the front overhead console and the other is located in the headliner above the second row seats. The rear air conditioning system is designed to provide cooled air only. There is no heating provided with this system. To operate the rear system using the front control, just turn the knob to the fan position you want. To use the rear control, ﬁrst turn the front control to the AUX position. Then, the rear control can be used to increase and decrease the airﬂow. To increase and decrease the ﬂow of cooled air to the rear vents, turn the knob to the fan speed you want. Rear Control Front Control Turn the knob to adjust the fan speed. To turn the fan off, turn the knob to the off position. 3-34 Passenger Compartment Air Filter The passenger compartment air ﬁlter traps most of the pollen from the air entering your vehicle. Like your vehicle’s engine air cleaner/ﬁlter, it needs to be changed periodically. For how often to change the passenger compartment air ﬁlter, see ScheduledMaintenanceon page6-4. The passenger compartment air ﬁlter is located underneath the hood below the windshield wiper arm on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview on page5-12 for more information on location. Use the procedure listed below to replace the passenger compartment air ﬁlter: 1. Open the hood to access the engine compartment. See Hood Release on page5-11 for more information. Locate the passenger compartment air ﬁlter access panel door. 2. Push the two tabs on the access panel door towards the windshield. 3. While pressing forward, lift the access panel out of the clipped position and pull towards the front of the vehicle. This releases the clips and allows the panel door to be removed. 4. Remove the old ﬁlter and insert a new one. Make sure the arrow on the ﬁlter is pointing toward the passenger compartment. See NormalMaintenanceReplacementPartson page6-13 for the correct part number for the ﬁlter. 5. Reverse Steps 1 through 3 to reinstall the cover. 3-35 Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them. Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on brieﬂy when you start the engine just to let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there’s a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly – and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help. Your vehicle also has a Driver Information Center (DIC) that works along with the warning lights and gages. See DriverInformationCenter(DIC)onpage3-52 for more information. 3-36 Instrument Panel Cluster The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You’ll know how fast you’re going, how much fuel you’re using and many of the other things you’ll need to know to drive safely and economically. United States version shown, Canada similar 3-37 Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer lets you see your speed in either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a new odometer installed. The new one may read the correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s computer has stored the mileage in memory. While the tap up/tap down feature is active, the odometer will change to show the gear range. See AutomaticTransmissionOperationonpage2-25 for more information. Trip Odometers The trip odometer can record the number of miles or kilometers traveled for up to two trips. The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information Center (DIC). To access the trip odometer, use one of the following procedures: Using the Base audio system, do the following: 1. Press the INFO (Information) button located to the right of the screen to access the DIC menu. 2. Scroll through the menu using the up or down arrows on the INFO button until you reach Trip Odometer A or Trip Odometer B. The selected trip odometer (A or B) will be displayed at the top of the screen with the accumulated mileage. 3. Repeat the steps to view the other trip odometer. 3-38 You can reset the selected trip odometer by pressing CLR (Clear) button located in the center of the INFO button to the right of the screen. The mileage for that trip odometer will return to zero. Each trip odometer must be reset individually. Using the Navigation audio system, do the following: 1. Press and hold the vehicle information button in the upper right corner of the screen for three seconds to access the Vehicle Information menu. 2. Use the up and down arrows on the screen to bring TRIP A or TRIP B into view. Then press the button next to the trip you wish to be viewed. The selected trip odometer (A or B) will be displayed at the top of the screen with the accumulated mileage. 3. Press the RETURN button to return to the previous page. 4. Repeat the steps to view the other trip odometer. You can reset the selected trip odometer by pressing RESET button on the Vehicle Information menu. The mileage for the selected trip odometer will return to zero. Each trip odometer must be reset individually. Tachometer This gage indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Notice: If you operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded warning area, your vehicle could be damaged, and the damages would not be covered by your warranty. Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded warning area. 3-39 Air Bag Readiness Light There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows the air bag symbol. The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For more information on the air bag system, see AirBag Systems on page1-50. This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will ﬂash for a few seconds. Then the light should go out. This means the system is ready. If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your air bag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away. Engine Speed Limiter This feature prevents the engine from operating at too many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine’s rpm are too high, the throttle is closed to reduce speed, if this is not sufficient, then the fuel supply to the engine will be limited. When the rpms return to normal, the fuel supply will return to normal. This helps prevent damage to the engine. Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to ON or START, a chime will come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt is
