removed from the interior of the vehicle, the doors will
lock after eight seconds.
For example, if there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the
other will be locked in. The keyless access transmitter
locked in the vehicle can still be used to start the vehicle
or unlock the doors, if needed. A person approaching
the outside of the locked vehicle without an authorized
keyless access transmitter, however, will not be able
to open the door, even with a transmitter in the vehicle.

then remain disabled until a door lock switch is pressed or
until the power mode transitions from the off power mode.

will automatically lock eight seconds after you turn
the ignition off, remove a keyless access transmitter
from the interior of the vehicle, and close both doors.

Traveling Across Regions
If you plan to drive across several states, you may have
to change the selected region to represent the area
you are traveling to.
There are two ways you can plan a destination when
traveling across regions.
The following method is suggested and provides the
most route guidance and map display functions:
1. Change the selected search area region when
you get closer to the area you are traveling to.
See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps
on page 4-38.
2. Enter your destination and route settings. SeeEnter
Destination on page 4-27for more information.
If you do not want to use the rst method, keep your
currently selected search area region and enter
your destination. This method allows you only to select
a destination from the easy planning route method
or from the All Points of Interest (POI) categories with
the “All Search Areas” comment for US Only. For
example, Tourist is a category that features this
comment. SeeEnter Destination on page 4-27for more
information.If you are traveling in or to Canada and you cross the
regional border, the only map scale views available
are 4 mi, 8 mi, 31 mi, and 128 mi (8 km, 16 km,
64 km and 256 km). Change the selected search area
region when you get closer to the area you are traveling
to. See “Setting the Search Area” underMaps on
page 4-38for more information.
Keyless Access System
When the engine is started, Driver 1 or Driver 2 will
display on the screen. A message will not appear on the
screen if the driver is unknown. The number on the
back of the transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or
driver 2. The navigation system can store memory points
for drivers 1 and 2 individually. SeeKeyless Access
System on page 2-4for more information.
OnStar®System
When using the OnStar®system, the audio system will
be muted and the navigation voice prompts will be
disabled during the call. The volume of the OnStar
®call
can be adjusted by using the steering wheel volume
controls. SeeOnStar
®System on page 2-38for
more information.

Vehicle Storage
If you are not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, remove the black, negative (−) cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
{CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if
you are not careful. SeeJump Starting on
page 6-39for tips on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
You must close all doors and the trunk before
reconnecting the battery. After reconnecting the battery,
you must press the unlock button on the keyless
access transmitter. Failure to follow this procedure may
result in the alarm sounding. Pressing unlock on the
keyless access transmitter would stop the alarm.
Jump Starting
If your vehicle’s battery has run down, you may want to
use another vehicle and some jumper cables to start
your vehicle. Be sure to use the following steps to do
it safely.
{CAUTION:
Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous
because:
They contain acid that can burn you.
They contain gas that can explode or ignite.
They contain enough electricity to burn you.
If you do not follow these steps exactly, some or
all of these things can hurt you.
