Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. L / M (Heated Seats): Press to turn on or off. See Heated Front Seats on page 2-6. Climate Controls 7-3 • Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of the vehicle more effectively. • Use of non-GM approved hood deﬂectors can adversely affect the performance of the system. Check with your dealer/retailer before adding equipment to the outside of the vehicle. Passenger Compartment Air Filter The passenger compartment air ﬁlter removes most of the pollen and dust from the air that enters the vehicle. The ﬁlter will need to be replaced periodically. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 10-2. Using the climate control system without an air ﬁlter installed is not recommended. Water or other debris could enter the system and result in leaks or noises. Always install a new ﬁlter when removing the old ﬁlter. Air Vents Use the air outlets located in the center and on the side of the instrument panel to direct the airﬂow. Use the thumbwheels near the center air outlets to direct airﬂow to the left or right. Operation Tips • In defog or defrost mode, warm air ﬂows from the some air outlets. To improve side window defogging or defrosting, direct side air outlets towards the side windows. • Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from air inlets at the base of the windshield that could block the ﬂow of air into the vehicle. 7-4 Climate Controls ✍ NOTES Driving and Operating Driving Information Driving for Better Fuel Economy ............................8-2 Defensive Driving ..................8-2 Drunk Driving .......................8-3 Control of a Vehicle ...............8-3 Braking ................................8-4 Steering ...............................8-5 Off-Road Recovery ................8-6 Loss of Control .....................8-6 Competitive Driving ................8-7 Driving on Wet Roads ............8-8 Highway Hypnosis .................8-9 Hill and Mountain Roads ........8-9 Winter Driving .....................8-10 If the Vehicle is Stuck ..........8-11 Vehicle Load Limits ..............8-12 Starting and Operating New Vehicle Break-In ...........8-16 Ignition Positions .................8-17 Retained Accessory Power (RAP) .....................8-19 Starting the Engine ..............8-19 Engine Heater .....................8-20 Shifting Into Park .................8-21 Shifting Out of Park .............8-22 Parking ..............................8-24 Parking Over Things That Burn .........................8-24 Active Fuel Management™ ....8-25 Engine Exhaust Engine Exhaust ...................8-25 Running the Vehicle While Parked .............................8-26 Automatic Transmission Automatic Transmission ........8-26 Manual Mode ......................8-29 Manual Transmission Manual Transmission ...........8-30 Brakes Antilock Brake System (ABS) ...................8-31 Parking Brake .....................8-32 Brake Assist .......................8-33 Ride Control Systems Traction Control System (TCS) ...................8-34 StabiliTrak System ...............8-36 Competitive Driving Mode .....................8-37 Limited-Slip Rear Axle ..........8-38 Driving and Operating 8-1 ......8-41 Cruise Control Cruise Control .....................8-38 Object Detection Systems Ultrasonic Parking Assist Fuel Fuel ...................................8-43 Recommended Fuel .............8-44 Gasoline Speciﬁcations .........8-44 California Fuel Requirements ....................8-45 Fuels in Foreign Countries .....8-45 Fuel Additives .....................8-45 Filling the Tank ...................8-46 Filling a Portable Fuel Container ..........................8-48 Towing General Towing Information ....8-48 Driving Characteristics and Towing Tips ......................8-49 Trailer Towing .....................8-53 Towing Equipment ...............8-55 Conversions and Add-Ons Add-On Electrical Equipment ........................8-55 8-2 Driving and Operating Driving Information Driving for Better Fuel Economy Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here are some driving tips to get the best fuel economy possible. • Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly. • Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops. • Avoid idling the engine for long periods of time. • When road and weather conditions are appropriate, use cruise control, if equipped. • Always follow posted speed limits or drive more slowly when conditions require. • Keep vehicle tires properly inﬂated. • Combine several trips into a single trip. • Replace the vehicle’s tires with the same TPC Spec number molded into the tire’s sidewall near the size. • Follow recommended scheduled maintenance. Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “always expect the unexpected.” The ﬁrst step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt, see Safety Belts on page 2-6. { WARNING Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do and be ready. In addition: • Allow enough following distance between you and the driver in front of you. • Focus on the task of driving. Driver distraction can cause collisions resulting in injury or possible death. These simple defensive driving techniques could save your life. Drunk Driving { WARNING Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Your reﬂexes, perceptions, attentiveness, and judgment can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol. You can have a serious — or even fatal — collision if you drive after drinking. Do not drink and drive or ride with a driver who has been drinking. Ride home in a cab; or if you are with a group, designate a driver who will not drink. Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a global tragedy. Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a vehicle: judgment, muscular coordination, vision, and attentiveness. Driving and Operating 8-3 Police records show that almost 40 percent of all motor vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases, these deaths are the result of someone who was drinking and driving. In recent years, more than 17,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been associated with the use of alcohol, with about 250,000 people injured. For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical, psychological, and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person’s system can make crash injuries worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord, or heart. This means that when anyone who has been drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash, that person’s chance of being killed or permanently disabled is higher than if the person had not been drinking. Control of a Vehicle The following three systems help to control the vehicle while driving — brakes, steering, and accelerator. At times, as when driving on snow or ice, it is easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires and road can provide. Meaning, you can lose control of the vehicle. See StabiliTrak System on page 8-36. Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect vehicle performance. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on page 9-3. 8-4 Driving and Operating Braking See Brake System Warning Light on page 4-22. Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. Deciding to push the brake pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is reaction time. Average reaction time is about three-fourths of a second. But that is only an average. It might be less with one driver and as long as two or three seconds or more with another. Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination, and eyesight all play a part. So do alcohol, drugs, and frustration. But even in three-fourths of a second, a vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20 m (66 ft). That could be a lot of distance in an emergency, so keeping enough space between the vehicle and others is important. And, of course, actual stopping distances vary greatly with the surface of the road, whether it is pavement or gravel; the condition of the road, whether it is wet, dry, or icy; tire tread; the condition of the brakes; the weight of the vehicle; and the amount of brake force applied. Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts — heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking — rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. The brakes might not have time to cool between hard stops. The brakes will wear out much faster with a lot of heavy braking. Keeping pace with the traffic and allowing realistic following distances eliminates a lot of unnecessary braking. That means better braking and longer brake life. If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but do not pump the brakes. If the brakes are pumped, the pedal could get harder to push down. If the engine stops, there will still be some power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied. Once the power assist is used up, it can take longer to stop and the brake pedal will be harder to push. Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect vehicle performance. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on page 9-3. Driving and Operating 8-5 Steering Power Steering If power steering assist is lost because the engine stops or the power steering system is not functioning, the vehicle can be steered but it will take more effort. Steering Tips It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed. Traction in a curve depends on the condition of the tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and vehicle speed. While in a curve, speed is the one factor that can be controlled. If there is a need to reduce speed, do it before entering the curve, while the front wheels are straight. Try to adjust the speed so you can drive through the curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to accelerate until out of the curve, and then accelerate gently into the straightaway. Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and ﬁnd a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you. These problems can be avoided by braking — if you can stop in time. But sometimes you cannot stop in time because there is no room. That is the time for evasive action — steering around the problem. The vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply the brakes. See Braking on page 8-4. It is better to remove as much speed as possible from a collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on the space available. An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock positions, it can be turned a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have avoided the object. The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at all times and wear safety belts properly. 8-6 Driving and Operating Off-Road Recovery The vehicle’s right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that the vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement. Turn the steering wheel 8 to 13 cm, 3 to 5 inches, (about one-eighth turn) until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway. Loss of Control Let us review what driving experts say about what happens when the three control systems — brakes, steering, and acceleration — do not have enough friction where the tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked. In any emergency, do not give up. Keep trying to steer and constantly seek an escape route or area of less danger. Skidding In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to the vehicle’s three control systems. In the braking skid, the wheels are not rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force. And in the acceleration skid, too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin. If the vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want the vehicle to go. If you start steering quickly enough, the vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a second skid if it occurs. Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice, gravel, or other material is on the road. For safety, slow down and adjust your driving to these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance is longer and vehicle control more limited. While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking, including reducing vehicle speed by shifting to a lower gear. Any sudden changes could cause the tires to slide. You might not realize the surface is slippery until the vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues — such as enough water, ice, or packed snow on the road to make a mirrored surface — and slow down when you have any doubt. Remember: Any Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps avoid only the braking skid. Driving and Operating 8-7 Competitive Driving Competitive driving may affect the vehicle warranty. See the warranty book before using the vehicle for racing or other competitive driving. The new vehicle break-in must be performed before the vehicle is used for competitive driving. See New Vehicle Break-In on page 8-16. Notice: for competitive driving, the engine may use more oil than it would with normal use. Low oil levels can damage the engine. Be sure to check the oil level often during competitive driving and keep the level at or near the upper mark that shows the proper operating range on the engine oil dipstick. For information on how to add oil, see Engine Oil on page 9-10. If you use your vehicle For competitive driving, it is recommended that the brake ﬂuid be replaced with a high performance brake ﬂuid that has a dry boiling point greater than 279°C (534°F). After conversion to the high performance brake ﬂuid, follow the brake ﬂuid service recommendations outlined by the ﬂuid manufacturer. Do not use silicone or DOT-5 brake ﬂuids. If the vehicle is used for racing, competitive driving, sustained high speed, or events that generate excessive wheel slip, the rear axle ﬂuid temperatures will be higher than would occur in normal driving. We recommend that the rear axle ﬂuid be drained and reﬁlled with new ﬂuid after every six hours of racing or competitive driving. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 10-7 for what ﬂuid to use. 8-8 Driving and Operating Regularly inspect the driveshaft/ propshaft couplings and halfshaft boots for cracking or grease leakage. It is not recommended that the vehicle be used for ongoing race track/competitive driving. Driving on Wet Roads Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle traction and affect your ability to stop and accelerate. Always drive slower in these types of driving conditions and avoid driving through large puddles and deep-standing or ﬂowing water. { WARNING Wet brakes can cause crashes. They might not work as well in a quick stop and could cause pulling to one side. You could lose control of the vehicle. After driving through a large puddle of water or a car/vehicle wash, lightly apply the brake pedal until the brakes work normally. Flowing or rushing water creates strong forces. Driving through ﬂowing water could cause your vehicle to be carried away. If this happens, you and other vehicle occupants could drown. Do not ignore police warnings and be very cautious about trying to drive through ﬂowing water. Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water can build up under your vehicle’s tires so they actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you are going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. There is no hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow down when the road is wet. Other Rainy Weather Tips Besides slowing down, other wet weather driving tips include: • Allow extra following distance. • Pass with caution. • Keep windshield wiping equipment in good shape. • Keep the windshield washer ﬂuid reservoir ﬁlled. • Have good tires with proper tread depth. See Tires on page 9-48. • Turn off cruise control. Highway Hypnosis Always be alert and pay attention to your surroundings while driving. If you become tired or sleepy, ﬁnd a safe place to park your vehicle and rest. Other driving tips include: • Keep the vehicle well ventilated. • Keep interior temperature cool. • Keep your eyes moving — scan the road ahead and to the sides. • Check the rearview mirror and vehicle instruments often. Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or through mountains is different than driving on ﬂat or rolling terrain. Tips for driving in these conditions include: • Keep the vehicle serviced and in good shape. • Check all ﬂuid levels and brakes, tires, cooling system, and transmission. • Going down steep or long hills, shift to a lower gear. { WARNING
