Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will nd these notices:
Notice:These mean there is something
that could damage your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that can damage
the vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be
covered by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could
be costly. But the notice will tell what to do to help
avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different
colors or in different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
The vehicle has components and labels that use
symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown along
with the text describing the operation or information
relating to a specic component, control, message,
gage, or indicator.
If you need help guring out a specic name of a
component, gage, or indicator, reference the
following topics:
Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1
Features and Controls in Section 2
Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3
Climate Controls in Section 3
Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators in
Section 3
Audio System(s) in Section 3

9/Acc. (OFF/ACCESSORY):When this button
is pressed, the engine will turn off even if the shifter
is not in PARK (P). If the shifter is in PARK (P), the
ignition mode will change to RAP, if all doors are
closed. The ignition mode will change to off, if a
front door is opened. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 112for more information.
If the shifter is not in PARK (P), the ignition mode
will change to Acc. SeeShifting Into Park (P) on
page 122.
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 towed. If the door
is open while in accessory mode, the key in
reminder chime will sound continuously.
If the push-button start is not working, your vehicle
may be near a strong radio antenna signal causing
interference to the keyless access system. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 264for more
information.After being in Acc. for about 20 minutes, the vehicle
will automatically enter RAP or will turn off,
depending on if the doors are opened or closed.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The following accessories on your vehicle may be
used for up to 20 minutes after the engine is
turned off:
Radio
Power Windows
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Power to these accessories stops after 20 minutes
or if one of the front doors is opened. If you
want power for another 20 minutes, close all the
doors and press to Acc. to place the vehicle
in accessory mode. Press the button again and
the vehicle will return to RAP.

OnStar®Steering Wheel Controls
Your vehicle may have a Talk/Mute button that
can be used to interact with OnStar®Hands-Free
Calling. SeeAudio Steering Wheel Controls on
page 310for more information.
On some vehicles, you may have to hold the
button for a few seconds and give the command
“ONSTAR” in order to activate the OnStar
®
Hands-Free Calling feature.
On some vehicles, the mute button can be used to
dial numbers into voicemail systems, or to dial
phone extensions. See the OnStar
®Owner’s
Guide for more information.
How OnStar®Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar®services,
your vehicle’s OnStar®system has the capability
of recording and transmitting vehicle information.
This information is automatically sent to an
OnStar
®Call Center at the time of an OnStar®
button press, Emergency button press or if
your airbags or AACN system deploys. The vehicle
information usually includes your GPS locationand, in the event of a crash, additional information
regarding the accident that your vehicle has
been involved in (e.g. the direction from which
your vehicle was hit). When you use the Virtual
Advisor feature of OnStar
®Hands-Free Calling,
your vehicle also sends OnStar®your GPS
location so that we can provide you with
location-based services.
OnStar
®service cannot work unless your 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
you are 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.
OnStar
®service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available in
that place as well.

Anti-Pinch:If an object is in the path of the
sunroof while it is closing, the anti-pinch feature
will detect the object and stop the sunroof
from closing at the point of the obstruction. The
sunroof will then return to the full-open or
vent position. To close the sunroof once it has
re-opened, refer to the two options previously
described under the “Close” feature instructions.
Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle has personalization that allows you to
program certain features to a preferred setting
for up to two drivers. The back of the keyless
access transmitters are labelled 1 or 2. Additional
keyless access transmitters programmed to
the vehicle, as 3 and/or 4, do not have a number
on the back and are not capable of being
personalized. The number of programmable
features varies depending upon which vehicle
options are purchased.
On all vehicles, features such as climate control
settings, radio and XM™ preset settings, exterior
lighting at unlock and remote lock unlock
conrmation, and language have already been
programmed for your convenience. Your vehicle
also has an automatic door locking featurethat is always on. You cannot turn the automatic
door locking feature off. SeeProgrammable
Automatic Door Locks on page 99.
Some vehicles have additional features that can
be programmed including the seat, steering
column, and outside rearview mirror position.
If your vehicle has the base audio system,
the following information explains the vehicle
personalization on your vehicle.
If your vehicle has the Navigation system, see
“Personalization” in the Index of the Navigation
System manual for information on vehicle
personalization.
If your vehicle has the ability to program additional
personalization features, the driver’s preferences
are recalled by pressing any button on the keyless
access transmitter, 1 or 2, by selecting
Driver 1 or 2 on the radio display, or when a valid
keyless access transmitter is detected upon
opening the driver’s door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter
is detected upon opening the driver’s door, the
driver preferences for the lowest driver number will
be recalled.
