see If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 4-27. Features and Controls 2-23 N (Neutral): In this position, the engine does not connect with the wheels. To restart the engine when the vehicle is already moving, use N (Neutral) only. Also, use N (Neutral) when the vehicle is being towed. { CAUTION Shifting into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed is dangerous. Unless your foot is ﬁrmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or objects. Do not shift into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed. Notice: Shifting out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) with the engine running at high speed may damage the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Be sure the engine is not running at high speed when shifting the vehicle. D (Drive): This position is for normal driving with the automatic transmission. It provides the best fuel economy. If you need more power for passing, and you are: (cid:129) Going less than about 35 mph (55 km/h), push the accelerator pedal about halfway down. (cid:129) Going about 35 mph (55 km/h), push the accelerator all the way down. Downshifting the transmission in slippery road conditions could result in skidding, see “Skidding” under Loss of Control on page 4-12. M (Manual): This position allows you to change gears similar to a manual transmission. If the vehicle has this feature, see Manual Shift Mode. Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the transmission. The repair will not be covered by the vehicle warranty. If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. 2-24 Features and Controls Manual Shift Mode (MSM) (Automatic Transmission) To use this feature, do the following: 1. Move the shift lever from D (Drive) rearward to M (Manual). The six-speed transmission will downshift to a lower gear and the instrument panel will display the gear range selected. If equipped with a 4-speed transmission it will display a 3 for third gear range. When coming to a stop in the manual position, the vehicle will automatically shift to 1 (First) gear. 2. Press the plus (+) button to upshift or the minus (−) button to downshift. While using the MSM feature the vehicle will have sportier performance. You can use this when driving hilly roads to stay in gear longer or to downshift for more power or engine braking. The transmission will only allow you to shift into a gear range appropriate for the vehicle speed. The transmission will not automatically shift to the next higher gear range without pressing the button on the shifter handle. The transmission will not allow shifting to the next lower gear if the vehicle speed is too high. If the vehicle does not respond to a gear change, or detects a problem with the transmission, the range of gears may be reduced and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp will come on. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 3-35. Parking Brake The parking brake lever is located in the center console between the front seats. To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down and pull up on the parking brake lever. If the ignition is in ON/RUN, the brake system warning light will come on.

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 the vehicle with the engine running. If you have to leave an automatic transmission vehicle with the engine running, be sure the vehicle is in P (Park) and the parking brake is ﬁrmly set before you leave it. After you have moved the shift lever into P (Park), hold the brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift lever away from P (Park) without ﬁrst pushing the button. If you can, it means that the shift lever was not fully locked into P (Park). Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission) If you are parking on a hill and you do not shift into P (Park) 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 P (Park). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift into P (Park) properly before you leave the driver seat. To ﬁnd out how, see Shifting Into Park (Automatic Transmission) on page 2-25. Move the shift lever out of P (Park) before you release the parking brake. 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 P (Park). Features and Controls 2-27 Parking Over Things That Burn { CAUTION Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust parts under the vehicle and ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves, dry grass, or other things that can burn. Shifting Out of Park The vehicle has an electronic shift lock release system. The shift lock release is designed to: (cid:129) Prevent ignition key removal unless the shift lever is in P (Park) with the shift lever button fully released. (cid:129) Prevent movement of the shift lever out of P (Park), unless the ignition is in ON/RUN and the regular brake pedal is applied. The shift lock release is always functional except in the case of an uncharged or low voltage (less than 9 volt) battery.

Be sure to have the camera and its position and mounting angle checked at your dealer/retailer. There are extreme temperature changes. The rear vision camera system display in the rearview mirror may turn off or not appear as expected due to one of the following conditions. If this occurs the left indicator light on the mirror will ﬂash. (cid:129) A slow ﬂash may indicate a loss of video signal, or no video signal present during the reverse cycle. (cid:129) A fast ﬂash may indicate that the display has been on for the maximum allowable time during a reverse cycle, or the display has reached an Over Temperature limit. The fast ﬂash conditions are used to protect the video device from high temperature conditions. Once conditions return to normal the device will reset and the green indicator will stop ﬂashing. During any of these fault conditions, the display will be blank and the indicator will continue to ﬂash as long as the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or until the conditions return to normal. Pressing and holding z when the left indicator light is ﬂashing will turn off the video display along with the left indicator light.

This information is automatically sent to an OnStar Call Center when the OnStar button is pressed, the emergency button is pressed, or if the airbags or AACN system deploy. This information usually includes the vehicle’s GPS location and, in the event of a crash, additional information regarding the crash that the vehicle was involved in (e.g. the direction from which the vehicle was hit). When the Virtual Advisor feature of OnStar Hands-Free Calling is used, the vehicle also sends OnStar the vehicle’s GPS location so they can provide services where it is located. OnStar service cannot work unless the vehicle is in a place where OnStar has an agreement with a wireless service provider for service in that area. OnStar service also cannot work unless the vehicle is in a place where the wireless service provider OnStar has hired for that area has coverage, network capacity and reception when the service is needed, and technology that is compatible with the OnStar service. Not all services are available everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed areas, or at all times. Location information about the vehicle is only available if the GPS satellite signals are unobstructed and available. The vehicle must have a working electrical system, including adequate battery power, for the OnStar equipment to operate. There are other problems OnStar cannot control that may prevent OnStar from providing OnStar service at any particular time or place. Some examples are damage to important parts of the vehicle in a crash, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather or wireless phone network congestion. Your Responsibility Increase the volume of the radio if the OnStar advisor cannot be heard. If the light next to the OnStar buttons is red, the system may not be functioning properly. Press the OnStar button and request a vehicle diagnostic. If the light appears clear (no light is appearing), your OnStar subscription has expired and all services have been deactivated. Press the OnStar button to conﬁrm that the OnStar equipment is active.

This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the Universal Home Remote. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in the programming the Universal Home Remote. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future Universal Home Remote programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed Universal Home Remote buttons should be erased for security purposes. See “Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section. When programming a garage door, park outside of the garage. Park directly in line with and facing the garage door opener motor-head or gate motor-head. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate that is being programmed. It is recommended that a new battery be installed in your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Programming the Universal Home Remote System For questions or help programming the Universal Home Remote System, call 1-800-355-3515 or go to homelink.com. Programming a garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out and the procedure will have to be repeated. To program up to three devices: 1. From inside the vehicle, press and hold down the two outside buttons at the same time, releasing only when the Universal Home Remote indicator light begins to ﬂash, after 20 seconds. This step will erase the factory settings or all previously programmed buttons. Do not hold down the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons. Features and Controls 2-39 2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Universal Home Remote buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.

See Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-42. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down. Rainsense™ II Wipers For vehicles with Rainsense™ II windshield wipers, the moisture sensor is located next to the inside rearview mirror and is mounted on the windshield. When active, these sensors are able to detect moisture on the windshield and automatically turn on the wipers. To turn on the Rainsense feature, the wipers must be set to one of the ﬁve delay settings on the multifunction lever. Each of the ﬁve settings adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor. Since different drivers have different setting preferences, it is recommended that the mid-range setting (position 3) be used initially. For more wipes, select the higher settings; for fewer wipes, select the lower settings located closer to the off position on the multifunction lever. The sensor will automatically control the frequency of the wipes from the off setting to the high speed setting according to the weather conditions. The wipers can be left in a rainsense mode even when it is not raining. When Rainsense is active, the headlamps will turn on automatically if the exterior lamp control is in the AUTO position and the wipers are active. Notice: Going through an automatic car wash with the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers off when going through an automatic car wash. 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. Pull the windshield wiper lever toward you to spray washer ﬂuid on the windshield. The wipers will run for a few cycles to clear the windshield. For more wash cycles, pull the lever forward and hold. Heated Windshield Washer Nozzles This feature prevents the windshield washer ﬂuid from freezing on the nozzle during cold conditions. The heated nozzles are turned on when the rear window defogger is activated. See Automatic Climate Control System on page 3-20. Cruise Control With cruise control, the vehicle can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h). On vehicles with the StabiliTrak® feature, the system may begin to limit wheel spin while you are using cruise control. If this happens, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See StabiliTrak® System on page 4-7. Instrument Panel 3-9 { CAUTION Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use the 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 excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. Rear Window Wiper/Washer The rear wiper and rear wash button is located on the instrument panel above the climate control system. = (Rear Wiper/Washer): Press to wash and wipe the rear window. The rear window washer uses the same reservoir as the windshield washer. Check the windshield washer reservoir level if the front windshield can be worked, but no ﬂuid is sprayed when the rear washer is activated. See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-27. 5 (Delay): Press to turn the delayed wiping on or off. 3-10 Instrument Panel 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. The cruise control buttons are located on the left side of the steering wheel. E (On/Off): Press to turn the cruise control system on and off. An indicator light comes on. RES+ (Resume/Accel): Move the thumbwheel up to resume a set speed or to accelerate to a higher speed. −SET (Set/Coast): Move the thumbwheel down to set a speed or to decrease the speed.

(cid:129) Use the accelerator pedal to reach the desired speed and move the thumbwheel towards −SET. The new desired speed must be greater than the previous set speed by a least 5 mph. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control If the cruise control system is already engaged, (cid:129) Move the thumbwheel toward −SET and hold until the desired lower speed is reached, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, move the thumbwheel toward −SET brieﬂy. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle’s speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the previously set cruise control speed. Using Cruise Control on Hills How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon the vehicle’s speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower gear to maintain the vehicle’s speed. For some vehicles the transmission may automatically downshift when going down hills to help maintain the vehicle’s speed. When the brakes are applied the cruise control shuts off.

Wiper Activated Headlamps This feature automatically turns on the headlamps and parking lamps if the exterior lamp control is set in the AUTO position and the windshield wipers are turned on and have completed eight wipe cycles. See Exterior Lamps on page 3-12 for additional information. When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated headlamps immediately turn off. They also turn off if the windshield wiper control is turned off. (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada. The DRL system makes the low-beam headlamps come on in daylight when the following conditions are met: The engine is running, The exterior lamp band is in AUTO, and The light sensor determines it is daytime. When the DRL are on, the low-beam headlamps will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lights and other lamps will not be on. When the exterior lamp band is turned to the headlamp position, the regular headlamps will come on. The other lamps that come on with the headlamps will also come on. When the headlamps are turned off, the regular lamps also turn off, and the low-beam headlamps turn on. The regular headlamp system should be used when needed. Instrument Panel 3-13 Automatic Headlamp System When it is dark enough outside, the headlamps come on automatically. There is a light sensor located on top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor or the headlamps will come on when they are not needed. The system may also turn on the headlamps when driving through a parking garage or tunnel.

Press this button again to return it to the out position and the lamps automatically come on when any door is opened. + (On/Off): Press this button to turn the dome lamps on and off while the doors are closed. Entry Lighting If the dome lamp override button is in the out position, the lamps inside the vehicle automatically come on when any door is opened or when the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) unlock button is pressed. After the door is opened the lights remain on and stay on for 20 seconds after the doors are closed, or until the key is put into the ignition and turned to the ACC/ACCESSORY position. The lights will then gradually dim until they are no longer lit. Reading Lamps The reading lamps are located on the overhead console. To turn the reading lamps on or off, press the button located next to each lamp. Electric Power 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 gage 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. 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 the power that is 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. Instrument Panel 3-15 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 Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY. If this message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-49. 3-16 Instrument Panel Battery Run-Down Protection The battery saver feature is designed to protect the vehicle’s battery. If any interior or exterior lamp is left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system automatically turns the lamp off after 10 minutes. Accessory Power Outlet(s) The accessory power outlets can be used to connect electrical equipment, such as a cellular phone. The accessory power outlets are located on the rear of the center storage console and in the rear cargo compartment. There may be a power outlet located inside the instrument panel storage area below the climate controls. To use the outlets, remove the cover. When not in use, always cover the outlet with the protective cap. 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 20 ampere rating. Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer/retailer for additional information on the accessory power outlet. 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/retailer before adding electrical equipment. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: power outlet can cause damage not covered by the 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. Improper use of the Climate Controls Climate Control System The heating, cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle can be controlled with this system. For vehicles with the remote start feature, the climate control system functions as part of the remote start feature. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2-4. A. Fan Control B.
