Fog Lamps

The fog lamps control is located on the turn/lane change lever.

Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions. # FOG (Fog Lamps): Turn the fog lamp band on the lever to # and release it, to turn the fog lamps on or off. The band will return to its original position. The parking lamps or low‐beam headlamps must be on to use the fog lamps. The fog lamps will go off whenever the high-beam headlamps are turned on. When the high‐beam headlamps are turned off, the fog lamps will come on again. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.

Interior Lighting

Instrument Panel Illumination Control This control is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. D (Instrument Panel Brightness): Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the lights.

Lighting Features

Entry Lighting The dome lamp, cargo lamp, and foot lamp inside the vehicle come on when any door is opened, if the dome lamp is in the door position. In addition, these lamps come on when the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) unlock button is pressed. They stay on for 20 seconds or until a door is opened. After the door is opened and then closed, the light remains on for 20 seconds, or until the ignition is turned to ON/RUN.

Battery Load Management The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery. When the battery's state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gauge or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.

Lighting

The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all of the power needed for very high electrical loads. A high electrical load occurs when several of the following are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets. EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator's output and the vehicle's electrical needs.

It can increase engine idle speed to generate more power whenever needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some accessories. Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a DIC message might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY. If one of these messages displays, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5‑23.

Introduction

Infotainment Read the following pages to become familiar with the audio system's features.

{ WARNING

Taking your eyes off the road for extended periods could cause a crash resulting in injury or death to you or others. Do not give extended attention to entertainment tasks while driving.

This system provides access to many audio and non‐audio listings.

Infotainment System

To minimize taking your eyes off the road while driving, do the following while the vehicle is parked: . Become familiar with the

operation and controls of the audio system.

. Set up the tone, speaker

adjustments, and preset radio stations.

For more information, see Defensive Driving on page 9‑3. This vehicle's infotainment system may be equipped with a noise reduction system which can work improperly if the audio amplifier, engine calibrations, exhaust system, microphones, radio, or speakers are modified or replaced. This could result in more noticeable engine noise at certain speeds.

Notice: Contact your dealer before adding any equipment. Adding audio or communication equipment could interfere with the operation of the engine, radio, or other systems, and could damage them. Follow federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone equipment. The vehicle has Retained Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system can be played even after the ignition is turned off. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 9‑28 for more information.

Navigation System For vehicles with a navigation system, see the separate navigation manual.

Theft-Deterrent Feature The theft-deterrent feature works by learning a portion of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the infotainment system. The infotainment system does not operate if it is stolen or moved to a different vehicle.

Infotainment System Overview The infotainment system is controlled by using the buttons on the faceplate and the touch screen. See “Infotainment Control Buttons” in this section for more information.

Overview Keeping your eyes on the road and your mind on the drive is important for safe driving. The infotainment system has built-in features intended to help with this by disabling some features when driving. A grayed-out function is not available when the vehicle is moving. All functions are available when the vehicle is parked. Do the following before driving: . Become familiar with the

infotainment system operation, buttons on the faceplate, and touch-sensitive screen buttons.

. Set up the audio by presetting

favorite stations, setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.

. Set up phone numbers in

advance so they can be called easily by pressing a single button or a single voice command for vehicles equipped with phone capability.

{ WARNING

Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often while using the navigation system could cause a crash and you or others could be injured or killed. Focus your attention on driving and limit glances at the moving map on the navigation screen. Use voice guidance whenever possible.

Cellular Phone Usage Cellular phone usage can cause interference with the vehicle's radio.

Multi-Band Antenna The multi-band antenna is on the roof of the vehicle. The antenna is used for the AM‐FM radio, OnStar, the XM Satellite Radio Service System, and GPS (Global Positioning System), if the vehicle has these features. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for clear reception.

Radio Reception Frequency interference and static can occur during normal radio reception if items such as cell phone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item from the accessory power outlet. FM FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.

AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static can occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio. XM™ Satellite Radio Service XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception from coast to coast in the 48 contiguous United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the XM signal for a period of time.

CD Player The player can be used for CD and MP3 audio. With the vehicle on, insert a disc into the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in and begins playing. While playing, the navigation system is available. The system is capable of playing: . Most audio CDs . CD-R . CD-RW . MP3 or unprotected WMA

formats

When playing any compatible recordable disc, the sound quality can be reduced due to disc quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, or the way the disc has been handled. There can be increased skipping, difficulty in recording tracks, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the disc for damage or try a known good disc. To avoid damage to the CD player: . Do not use scratched or

damaged discs.

. Do not apply labels to discs.

The labels could get caught in the player. Insert only one disc at a time.

. Keep the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
