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:

Power Lumbar
The driver’s and
passenger’s seatback
lumbar support switches
are located on the
outboard sides of
the seats.
Use the power seat controls rst to get the proper
position, then continue with the lumbar adjustment.
Use the top lumbar switch to adjust support to
the middle seatback and the bottom lumbar switch
to adjust support to the lower seatback. Press
the front of the switch to increase support and the
rear of the switch to decrease support.
Keep in mind that as your seating position
changes, as it may during long trips, so should the
position of your lumbar support. Adjust the seat
as needed.
Heated and Cooled Seats
The buttons for the heated and cooled seats are
located on the climate control system.
((Heated/Cooled Seat):Press this button to
turn the feature on. The button on the left controls
the driver’s seat and the button on the right
controls the passenger’s seat. Each press of the
button will take you to a different setting. The
settings available in order are HI HEAT, LO HEAT,
OFF, HI COOL, LO COOL and OFF. You will be
able to feel the temperature change in a few
minutes.
The feature will automatically turn off when the
vehicle is turned off. SeeDual Climate Control
System on page 178for more information.

Lockout Protection
Your vehicle can be programmed to sound the
horn three times and unlock the driver’s door when
both doors are closed and there is a keyless
access transmitter inside the vehicle. When the
driver’s door is opened, a reminder chime will
sound continuously. The vehicle will remain locked
only when at least one transmitter has been
removed from the vehicle and both doors are
closed. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 220.
Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
trunk lid open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You
cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed
and select the control setting that will
force outside air into your vehicle. See
Climate Control System.
If you have air outlets on or under
the instrument panel, open them all
the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 102.

Running the Engine While Parked
It is better not to park with the engine running. But if
you ever have to, here are some things to know.
{CAUTION:
Idling the engine with the climate control
system off could allow dangerous exhaust
into your vehicle. See the earlier caution
underEngine Exhaust on page 102.
Also, idling in a closed-in place can let
deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into your
vehicle even if the climate control fan is at
the highest setting. One place this can
happen is a garage. Exhaust — with
CO — can come in easily. NEVER park in
a garage with the engine running.
Another closed-in place can be a blizzard.
SeeWinter Driving on page 349.
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to get out of your
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in
PARK (P) with the parking brake rmly
set. Your vehicle can roll. Do not leave
your vehicle when the engine is running
unless you have to. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move
suddenly. You or others could be injured.
To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you are on fairly level ground,
always set your parking brake and move
the shift lever to PARK (P).
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle
will not move. SeeShifting Into Park (P) on
page 99.
103

Outside Power Heated Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors
are located is on
the driver’s door
armrest.
Move the selector switch, located below the
four-way control pad, to the left or the right to
choose the driver’s side or passenger’s side mirror.
Use the arrows located on the four-way control
pad to adjust the position of the mirror. Adjust each
outside mirror so that a little of the vehicle and
the area behind it can be seen while sitting
in a comfortable driving position. Keep the selector
switch in the center position when not adjusting
either outside mirror.Both mirrors have a heated feature to rid them of
snow, ice, or condensation. They will heat
when the rear window defogger is turned on. See
“Rear Window Defogger” underDual Climate
Control System on page 178. If the vehicle has the
memory option, the preferred mirror position can
be stored. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel on page 10.
Both mirrors can be manually folded inward by
pulling them toward the vehicle. This feature may
be useful when going through a car wash or a
conned space. Push the mirrors away from the
vehicle, to the normal position, before driving.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
The driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare of
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by
the on and off settings on the inside automatic
dimming rearview mirror. SeeAutomatic Dimming
Rearview Mirror with OnStar
®on page 104.

automatically.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other
ammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never

Loose objects, such as paper clips, can lodge
behind and beneath the ashtray lid and prevent
movement of the lid. You should avoid putting
small, loose objects near the ashtray.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way
and let go. When it is ready, it will pop back
out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be
blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in
while it is heating.
