Highbeam On Light This light comes on when the high-beam headlamps are in use. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8 for more information. Service Four-Wheel Drive Warning Light The service four-wheel drive light comes on, except for the SS model, to indicate that there may be a problem with the drive system and service is required. Malfunctions can be indicated by the system before any problem is apparent, which may prevent serious damage to the vehicle. This system is also designed to assist your GM dealer in correctly diagnosing a malfunction. Check Gages Warning Light The check gages light will come on brieﬂy when you are starting the engine. This light should come on brieﬂy when you turn on the ignition, as a check to show you it is working. If the light comes on and stays on while you are driving, check your coolant temperature and engine oil pressure gages to see if they are in the warning zones. 3-45 Gate Ajar Light If this light comes on, the liftgate or liftglass is not completely shut. Close the liftgate or liftglass. Never drive with the liftgate or liftglass even partially open. Fuel Gage When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have remaining. An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage: (cid:129) At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full. It takes a little more or less fuel to ﬁll up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to ﬁll the tank. The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up. The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.

Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner. 3-72 Care of CDs Sound quality can be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled. Handle them carefully. Store CD-R(s) in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge. Care of the CD and DVD Player Do not add a label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD with a marking pen.

(cid:129) Standard audio, MP3 ﬁles, and WMA ﬁles can be mixed on one CD. (cid:129) Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension, other ﬁle extensions might not work. Files can be recorded with a variety of ﬁxed or variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and album is available for display by the radio when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2. (cid:129) Create a folder structure that makes it easy to ﬁnd songs while driving. Organize songs by albums using one folder for each album. Each folder or album should contain 18 songs or less. (cid:129) Make sure to ﬁnalize the disc when burning an MP3 disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to burn the disc all at once. The player is able to read and play a maximum of 253 folders, 50 playlists, 20 sessions, and 949 ﬁles. Long ﬁle names, folder names, or playlist names 3-80 may use more disc memory space than necessary. To conserve space on the disc, minimize the length of the ﬁle, folder, or playlist names. An MP3 CD that was recorded using no ﬁle folders can also be played. The system can support up to 11 folders in depth, though, keep the depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep down the complexity and confusion in trying to locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD contains more than the maximum of 253 folders, 50 playlists, 20 sessions, and 949 ﬁles, the player allows access and navigates up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum will not play. Root Directory The root directory is treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio ﬁles, the directory displays as F1 ROOT. All ﬁles contained directly under the root directory are accessed prior to any root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) are always accessed before root folders or ﬁles. Empty Directory or Folder If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the ﬁle structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed ﬁles directly beneath them, the player advances to the next folder in the ﬁle structure that contains compressed audio ﬁles. The empty folder does not display. (cid:129) No Folder When the CD contains only compressed ﬁles, the ﬁles are located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions do not function on a CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT. When the CD contains only playlists and compressed audio ﬁles, but no folders, all ﬁles are located under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up buttons search playlists (Px) ﬁrst and then goes to the root folder. When the radio displays the name of the folder the radio displays ROOT. Order of Play Tracks are played in the following order: If CD audio tracks are available they will be played ﬁrst, otherwise play begins from the ﬁrst track in the ﬁrst playlist and continues sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has played, play continues from the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst playlist. If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play begins from the ﬁrst track under the root directory. When all tracks from the root directory have played, play continues from ﬁles according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play begins again at the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst folder or root directory. When play enters a new folder, the display does not automatically show the new folder name unless the folder mode has been chosen as the default display. See DISPL (display) later in this section for more information. The new track name displays. File System and Naming The song name that displays is the song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio displays the ﬁle name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name. Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages are shortened. Parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the ﬁle name does not display. Preprogrammed Playlists Preprogrammed playlists that were created using WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software can be accessed, however, they cannot be edited using the radio. These playlists are treated as special folders containing compressed audio song ﬁles. 3-81 (cid:129) (cid:129) Playing an MP3/WMA Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up.
