The rear door locks will now work normally. Lockout Protection Your vehicle can be programmed to sound the horn three times and unlock the driver’s door when both doors are closed and there is a keyless access transmitter inside the interior of the vehicle. When the driver’s door is reopened, the key in reminder chime will sound continuously. The vehicle will remain locked only when at least one transmitter has been removed from the vehicle and both doors are closed. See Vehicle Personalization on page 2-47. Trunk {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass through the seal between the body and the trunk lid: (cid:127) Make sure all other windows are shut. (cid:127) Turn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest speed and select the control setting that will force outside air into your vehicle. See Climate Control System in the Index. If you have air outlets on or under the instrument panel, open them all the way. See Engine Exhaust on page 2-33. 2-13 (cid:127) Trunk Lid Release There are several ways to release the trunk lid. (cid:127) V (Trunk Lid Release): Press this button located on the driver’s door. The vehicle must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and the valet mode turned off. To disable valet mode, see Valet Lockout Switch on page 2-22. (cid:127) Press the trunk lid release button on the keyless access transmitter. See Keyless Access System Operation on page 2-4. The vehicle must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) and the valet mode turned off. 2-14 (cid:127) Squeeze the trunk release button located on the rear of the trunk lid above the license plate, as long as you have your keyless access transmitter with you. Entry occurs when the button is being pressed and the vehicle recognizes the transmitter. The vehicle must be in PARK (P) and the valet mode turned off. If your vehicle has lost battery power, you can still access the trunk by unlocking and lowering the rear seat pass-through door and pulling the emergency trunk release handle. Emergency Trunk Release Handle Rear Seat Pass-Through Door This feature allows you to access the trunk without opening the trunk lid. To open the door, do the following: 1.

This handle will glow following exposure to light. Pull down the release handle to open the trunk from the inside of the vehicle. 2-15 Windows {CAUTION: Leaving children, helpless adults, or pets in a vehicle with the windows closed is dangerous. They can be overcome by the extreme heat and suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat stroke. Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or a pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the windows closed in warm or hot weather. 2-16 Power Windows The power window switches are located on the armrest near each window. Press the front of the switch to the ﬁrst position to open the window to the desired level. Lift up the front of the switch to the ﬁrst position to close the window. Your vehicle has Retained Accessory Power (RAP) that allows you to use the power windows once the engine has been turned off. For more information, see Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-24. Express-Down Window This feature is on all windows. It allows you to lower the window all the way without continuously pressing the switch. Press the front of the switch to the second position and release. If you want to stop the window as it is lowering, brieﬂy pull up the switch. Express-Up Window This feature is on all windows. It allows you to raise the window all the way without continuously lifting the switch. Lift the front of the switch brieﬂy to activate the express-up feature. If you want to stop the window as it is raising, brieﬂy press the switch. 2-17 Programming the Power Windows If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged, disconnected or is not working, you will need to reprogram each window for the express-up feature to work. To program each window, follow these steps: 1. With the ignition in ACC or ON, or while RAP is active, close all doors. 2. Press and hold the power window switch until the window has fully opened. 3. Continue holding the switch for approximately two seconds. 4. Pull up the power window switch until the window is fully closed. The window is now programmed. Repeat the process for all windows. Anti-Pinch Feature If any object is in the path of the window when the express-up is active, the window will stop at the obstruction and auto-reverse to a preset factory position. Weather conditions such as severe icing may also cause the window to auto-reverse. The window will return to normal operation once the obstruction or condition is removed. {CAUTION: If express override is activated, the window will not reverse automatically. You or others could be injured and the window could be damaged. Before you use express override, make sure that all people and obstructions are clear of the window path. 2-18 Express Window Override A condition may exist that causes auto-reversal of the window due to weather or an obstruction. In an emergency, the anti-pinch feature can be overridden in a supervised mode. Hold the window switch all the way down in the express position. The window will rise for as long as the switch is held. Once the switch is released, the express mode is re-activated. In this mode, the window can still close on an object in its path. Use care when using the override mode. Window Lockout The rear window lockout button is located on the driver’s door armrest near the window switches. Press this button to disable the rear window controls. The light on the button will illuminate, indicating that the feature is in use. The rear windows can be raised or lowered using the driver’s window switches when the lockout feature is on. To restore power to the rear windows, press the button again. The light on the button will go out. The front passenger window can be programmed to be disabled using the window lockout button. See Vehicle Personalization on page 2-47. Secure Car Feature The windows can be closed by pressing the lock button on the keyless access transmitter. See Keyless Access System Operation on page 2-4 for more information. The windows, if down, will express-up. If any window was unable to completely close, it will reverse and the horn will chirp. See “Anti-Pinch Feature” previously. Sun Visors Swing down the visor or detach it from the center mount and move to the side to block out glare. The visors also have side-to-side slide capability for greater coverage. Lighted Visor Vanity Mirrors Pull the visor down and lift the cover. Move the slide switch up or down to brighten or dim the lamp. 2-19 Theft-Deterrent Systems Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it impossible to steal. Theft-Deterrent System Your vehicle has a theft-deterrent alarm system. The security light is located on the instrument panel cluster. If the ignition is off and a door is open, the security light will ﬂash, reminding you to arm the theft-deterrent system. 2-20 To arm the system, do one of the following: (cid:127) Press the lock button on the keyless access transmitter. If the door is closed when the lock button is pressed, the security light will stay illuminated for 30 seconds. After the security light goes off, the theft-deterrent system is armed. Pressing the lock button twice will arm the system immediately. (cid:127) Open the door. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or lock button on the keyless access transmitter. The security light should ﬂash. Close the door. The security light will stop ﬂashing and stay on. After 30 seconds the light should turn off, the theft-deterrent system is armed. (cid:127) Passive Arming, if activated through the vehicle personalization feature, will arm the system automatically after you close the door and take at least one keyless access transmitter with you. The security light will turn on. After 60 seconds the light should turn off. The theft-deterrent system is armed. See Vehicle Personalization on page 2-47. If a door, hood or the trunk is opened without the keyless access transmitter, the horn will sound for 30 seconds and the lamps will ﬂash for two minutes. The vehicle cannot be started without a keyless access transmitter. The Theft-Deterrent system will not arm if: The key is used to lock the driver’s door. The driver’s door is locked using the power door lock switch after the doors are closed. If the vehicle is locked using the keyless access transmitter and a door, trunk lid or hood is open or not closed completely, the security light will ﬂash for 60 seconds and then go off. At this time the theft-deterrent system will be armed but door, trunk lid or hood that was open or not completely closed will not trigger an alarm event. The door, trunk lid or hood that was completely closed will still be armed and will trigger a theft event if they are opened or tampered with. The vehicle can be programmed to automatically unlock the doors when you approach the vehicle and the keyless access transmitter is with you. See Vehicle Personalization on page 2-47. Pressing the unlock button on the keyless access transmitter or using the key to unlock the driver’s door disarms the theft-deterrent system. Unlocking a door any other way while the system is armed will activate the alarm. Testing the Alarm 1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open. 2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock the vehicle using the power door lock switch or the Keyless Access transmitter and close the door. Wait approximately 30 seconds until the security light goes off. 3. Reach in and unlock the door using the power door lock switch and open the door. The horn will sound and the exterior lamps will ﬂash. You can turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock button on the keyless access transmitter or by starting the car. If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-93. If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you may need to have your vehicle serviced. To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the Theft-Deterrent system when leaving your vehicle. 2-21 (cid:127) (cid:127) Valet Lockout Switch The valet lockout switch is located inside the glove box. R (On): Press the right side of the valet lockout switch to turn the lockout feature on. When the lockout feature is turned on, the trunk cannot be unlocked with the keyless access transmitter or the trunk release button located on the driver’s door. If the valet lockout feature is on it will also disable the remote start feature and the HomeLink® transmitter, if equipped. Locking the glove box with your key will also help to secure your vehicle. See Keyless Access System Operation on page 2-4 and Trunk on page 2-13 for additional information. 9 (Off): Press the left side of the valet lockout switch to turn the lockout feature off. When the lockout feature is off, you can open the trunk using either the keyless access transmitter or the trunk release button located on the driver’s door. 2-22 Starting and Operating Your Vehicle New Vehicle Break-In Notice: Your vehicle does not need an elaborate break-in. But it will perform better in the long run if you follow these guidelines: (cid:127) Do not drive at any one speed — fast or slow — for the ﬁrst 500 miles (805 km). Do not make full-throttle starts. (cid:127) Avoid making hard stops for the ﬁrst 200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time your new brake linings are not yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and earlier replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline every time you get new brake linings. (cid:127) Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See Towing a Trailer on page 4-38 for more information. Ignition Positions Your vehicle has an electronic keyless ignition with pushbutton start. / (START): Press this button while your foot is on the brake to start the engine. The shifter must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to start the engine and the keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle for the ignition to work. 9 ACC (OFF/ACCESSORY): When the engine is on or in accessory mode, press this button to turn the engine off and place the vehicle in RAP. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-24 for more information. The shifter must be in PARK (P) for the engine to turn off. 2-23 When the engine is off, press this button to place the vehicle in accessory mode. ACCESSORY ACTIVE will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This mode allows you to use things like the radio and the windshield wipers while the engine is off. Use accessory mode if you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine is off, for example, if your vehicle is being pushed or towed. If the door is open while in accessory mode, the key in reminder chime will sound continuously. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) The following accessories on your vehicle may be used for up to 10 minutes after the engine is turned off: (cid:127) Radio (cid:127) Power Windows (cid:127) Audio Steering Wheel Controls Power to these accessories stops after 10 minutes or if one of the front doors is opened. If you want power for another 10 minutes, close all the doors and press the OFF/ACCESSORY button to place the vehicle in accessory mode. Press the button again and the vehicle will return to RAP. Starting Your Engine Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine will not start in any other position — that is a safety feature. To restart when you are already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. The keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle for the ignition to work. Notice: Do not try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the transmission. Shift to PARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped. 1. With your foot on the brake pedal, press the START button. If no keyless access transmitter is present, the DIC will display NO FOB DETECTED. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm. If the battery in the keyless access transmitter is weak, the DIC will display FOB BATTERY LOW. You can still drive the vehicle. See “Battery Replacement” under Keyless Access System Operation on page 2-4 for more information. 2-24 Notice: Holding the button in for longer than 15 seconds at a time will cause the vehicle’s battery to be drained much sooner. This can also cause damage to the starter motor. Wait 15 seconds between each try to avoid draining your vehicle’s battery or damaging the starter. 2. If the engine does not start and no DIC message is displayed, wait 15 seconds before trying again. Notice: Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer. If you do not, your engine might not perform properly. Stopping Your Engine Move the shift lever to PARK (P) and press the OFF/ACCESSORY button. If the shifter is not in PARK (P), the vehicle will go into accessory mode and the DIC will display SHIFT TO PARK. Once the shifter is moved to PARK (P), the vehicle will turn off. If the keyless access transmitter is not detected while going to off, the DIC will display NO FOB – OFF OR RUN?. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-74 for more information. Engine Coolant Heater Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine coolant heater. In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder, the engine coolant heater can help. You will get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of the coolant heater is not required. To Use the Engine Coolant Heater 1. Turn off the engine. 2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord. The cord is located in the engine compartment on the driver’s side of the vehicle near the engine oil dipstick. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for more information on location. You must remove the plastic cap to access the plug. 2-25 Automatic Transmission Operation The shift lever is located on the center console between the front seats. There are several different positions for the shift lever. PARK (P): This position locks the rear wheels. It is the best position to use when you start the engine because your vehicle cannot move easily. 3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet. {CAUTION: Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong kind of extension cord could overheat and cause a ﬁre. You could be seriously injured. Plug the cord into a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt AC outlet. If the cord will not reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for at least 15 amps. 4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and store the cord as it was before to keep it away from moving engine parts. If you do not, it could be damaged. How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the kind of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact your dealer in the area where you will be parking your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that particular area. 2-26 {CAUTION: It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake ﬁrmly set. Your vehicle can 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). See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-31. If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-38. Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before starting the engine. Your vehicle has an automatic transmission shift lock control system. You must fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is on. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever. Push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) while pressing the button on the shift lever as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you wish. See Shifting Out of Park (P) on page 2-32. Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is moving forward could damage the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is stopped. REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up. At low vehicle speeds, you can also use REVERSE (R) to rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice or sand without damaging your transmission. See If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-30 for additional information. 2-27 NEUTRAL (N): In this position, the engine does not connect with the wheels. To restart when you are already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. You can also use NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed. {CAUTION: Shifting into a drive gear while your engine is running at high speed is dangerous. Unless your foot is ﬁrmly on the brake pedal, your vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or objects. Do not shift into a drive gear while your engine is running at high speed. Notice: Shifting out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) with the engine running at high speed may damage the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Be sure the engine is not running at high speed when shifting your vehicle. AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D): This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you are: (cid:127) Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push the accelerator pedal about halfway down. (cid:127) Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down. The transmission will shift down to a lower gear and have more power. Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the transmission. If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. FOURTH (4): This position is also used for normal driving. However, it offers more power and lower fuel economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D). Here are examples for using FOURTH (4) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D): (cid:127) When driving on hilly, winding roads. (cid:127) When going down a steep hill. This position may also offer improved trailer towing performance in certain driving conditions. 2-28 If you drive your vehicle at high rpms Driver Shift Control (DSC) Notice: without upshifting while using Driver Shift Control (DSC), you could damage your vehicle. Always upshift when necessary while using 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 DSC feature: 1. Slide the shift lever over from AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) to the right into the DSC area. The DIC will display which mode the transmission is in. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-69. If you do not move the shift lever forward or rearward, the vehicle will be in sport mode. While driving in sport mode, the transmission may remain in a gear longer than it would in normal driving mode based on braking, throttle input and vehicle lateral acceleration. 2. Press the shift lever forward to upshift or rearward to downshift. The odometer on the instrument panel cluster will change to show the requested gear range when moving the shift lever forward or rearward. 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 or engine braking. 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. 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. 2-29 Parking Brake The parking brake pedal is located on the lower portion of the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. This vehicle has a push-to-release parking brake pedal. 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 does not, you need to have your vehicle serviced. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-60 for more information. To release the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down with your right foot and push the parking brake pedal with your left foot. When you lift your left foot, the parking brake pedal will follow it to the released position. 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 Towing a Trailer on page 4-38 for more information. 2-30 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 Towing a Trailer on page 4-38. 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) by pressing the button on the front of the shift lever while pushing the lever all the way toward the front of the vehicle. Release the button. 3. With your right foot still holding the brake pedal down, set the parking brake with your left foot. See Parking Brake on page 2-30 for more information. 4. Turn the ignition off. 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. 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 have 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 was not fully locked into PARK (P). 2-31 Torque Lock If you are parking on a hill and you do not 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 brake before you can shift from PARK (P) when the vehicle is running. See Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-26. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever – push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) and release the shift lever button as you maintain brake application. Then press the shift lever button and move the shift lever into the gear you wish. If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still cannot shift out of PARK (P), try this: 1. Press the OFF/ACCESSORY button twice to place the ignition in accessory mode. 2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4. 3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N). 4. Start the engine and then shift to the drive gear you want. 5. Have your vehicle inspected by your dealer as soon as possible. 2-32 Parking Over Things That Burn Engine Exhaust {CAUTION: Engine exhaust can kill. It contains the gas carbon monoxide (CO), which you cannot see or smell. It can cause unconsciousness and death. You might have exhaust coming in if: (cid:127) Your exhaust system sounds strange or different. (cid:127) Your vehicle gets rusty underneath. (cid:127) Your vehicle was damaged in a collision. (cid:127) Your vehicle was damaged when driving over high points on the road or over road debris. (cid:127) Repairs were not done correctly. (cid:127) Your vehicle or exhaust system had been modiﬁed improperly. If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into your vehicle: (cid:127) Drive it only with all the windows down to blow out any CO; and (cid:127) Have your vehicle ﬁxed immediately. 2-33 {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. {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 after you 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 page 2-31. If you are parking on a hill and if you are pulling a trailer, also see Towing a Trailer on page 4-38. 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 Engine Exhaust on page 2-33. 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 Winter Driving on page 4-26. 2-34 Mirrors Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar® The vehicle may have an automatic dimming inside rearview mirror with OnStar® controls. For more information about OnStar®, see OnStar® System on page 2-39. O (On/Off): The on/off button, located on the lower left side of the mirror, is used for the automatic dimming functions of the rearview mirror. If the vehicle has the SmartBeam Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp Control System, the on/off button can also be used to turn off or reset this system. See “SmartBeam Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp Control System” under Headlamps on page 3-31. Mirror Operation The automatic dimming feature comes on each time the vehicle is started. Automatic dimming reduces the glare of lights from behind the vehicle. 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 on. 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 The vehicle may have an automatic dimming inside rearview mirror with OnStar® and a compass. For more information about OnStar®, see OnStar® System on page 2-39. The mirror has an eight-point compass display in the upper right corner of the mirror. When on, the compass automatically calibrates, or sets the driving direction, as the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle has the navigation option, the direction the vehicle is facing will be displayed on the navigation screen. O (On/Off): The on/off button is located on the lower left side of the mirror and is used for the automatic dimming and compass functions of the rearview mirror. If the vehicle has the SmartBeam Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp Control System, the on/off button can also be used to turn off or reset this system. See “SmartBeam Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp Control System” under Headlamps on page 3-31. 2-35 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 calibrated by pressing and holding the on/off button until a C is shown in the compass display. 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, the 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 the vehicle is driven outside zone eight. Under certain circumstances, such as a long distance, cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust the compass variance. Mirror Operation The automatic dimming feature comes on each time the vehicle is started. To turn the automatic dimming feature on or off, press the on/off button. The indicator light will illuminate when this feature is on. 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 direction. Compass Calibration If after two seconds the display does not show a compass direction, (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 appears in the compass window, the compass may need to be reset or calibrated. 2-36 To adjust for compass variance, do the following: 1. Find your current location and variance zone number on the zone map that follows. 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 power mirror control is on the driver’s door armrest and controls the driver’s side and passenger’s side mirrors. 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. If C appears in the compass window, the compass may need calibration. See “Compass Calibration” listed previously. Press the left or right mirror symbol on the selector control to choose the driver’s side or passenger’s side mirror. Use the arrows located on the control pad to adjust the position of each mirror. Adjust each mirror so you can see the side of your vehicle and the area behind your vehicle. Return the selector switch to the center position when ﬁnished adjusting. This will prevent unwanted mirror movement in case the control pad is accidentally bumped while driving. 2-37 The preferred mirror positions can be stored with the memory option. See Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-64. The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent damage when going through car washes or conﬁned spaces. 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 the rear window defogger is turned on, both outside rear view mirrors are heated to help clear them of ice, snow, or condensation. See “Rear Window Defogger” under Dual Climate Control System on page 3-47. Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror The driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and off settings on the automatic dimming rearview mirror. See Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar® on page 2-35. Outside Convex Mirror {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. The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the driver’s seat. This mirror does not have a dimming feature. 2-38 Outside Parallel Park Assist Mirror This feature assists the driver by improving rear obstacle detection and is useful in viewing the curb when parallel parking. Press the left or right mirror symbol on the selector control to choose the driver or passenger outside mirror. When the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE (R), the selected mirror will tilt to a factory programmed position. If further mirror adjustment is needed press the arrows located on the outside mirror control pad. If the outside mirror selector switch is in the middle position, neither outside mirror will move. When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R), and a ﬁve-second delay has occurred, the mirror will return to its original position. The delay prevents movement of the mirror if multiple gear transitions REVERSE (R) to AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (X) to REVERSE (R) occur during a parallel parking maneuver.

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. If the Valet Lockout feature is on, it will disable the HomeLink® transmitter. See Valet Lockout Switch on page 2-22, for additional information. 2-41 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. 2-42 Programming HomeLink® 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. 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®.” You do not want to repeat step 1, as this will erase all previous programming. 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. 2-43 HomeLink® is now in the train (learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2 under “Programming HomeLink®” shown earlier in this section. Individual buttons cannot be erased, but they can be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single HomeLink® Button” following this section. 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®” shown earlier in this section. 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. 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. Do not hold the two outside buttons for longer than 30 seconds. 2. Release both buttons. 2-44 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. Storage Areas Glove Box To open the glove box, lift up on the lever.
