Arming the System
Use one of the two following items listed here to arm
the system:

Press the LOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.

Open the door. (The SECURITY light should flash.)
Lock the door with the power door lock switch.
The SECURITY light will stop flashing and stay on.
Close the door. The SECURITY light should go off.
Testing the Alarm
Use the following to test the system:
1. Make sure the hatch/trunk lid is latched.
2. Lower a window on the door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait 15 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and manually
unlock the driver's door.
6. Open the door. The alarm should sound.
7. Turn off the alarm.
If the alarm is inoperative, check to see if the horn
works. If not, check the horn fuse. See ªFuses and
Circuit Breakersº in the Index. If the horn works, but the
alarm doesn't go off, see your dealer.
Disarming the System
Always use your key or the remote keyless entry
transmitter to unlock a door. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm. If your alarm sounds,
listed below are the ways you can disarm it:

Unlock the driver's door with your key.

Put the key in the ignition.

Press the UNLOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Now, if a door or the hatch/trunk lid is opened without
the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
alarm will go off. Your horn will sound for two minutes,
then it will go off to save battery power. And, your
vehicle won't start.
The theft
-deterrent system won't arm if you lock the
driver's door with a key, the manual door lock, or if you
use the power door lock after the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave
with the keys, have the passenger lock the vehicle after
the doors are closed. This way the alarm won't arm,
and your passenger won't set it off.

Average Speed
Press the TRIP button until the average speed is
displayed, such as:

AVERAGE SPEED 62 MPH or

AVERAGE SPEED 100 km/h
Press reset in this mode to start calculating the average
speed. Press and hold RESET to clear.
Engine Oil Life
Press the TRIP button until the engine oil life is
displayed, such as OIL LIFE REMAIN 89%.
This is an estimate of the engine oil's remaining useful
life. It will show 99% when the system is reset after an
oil change. It will alert you to change your oil on a
schedule consistent with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the system will alert
you with the message CHANGE OIL SOON.
When the oil life is down to zero, you will receive the
message CHANGE OIL NOW.Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself after
each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful
not to reset the OIL LIFE accidentally at any time other
than when the oil has just been changed. It can't be reset
accurately until the next oil change.
To reset the system, see ªHow to Reset the Change Oil
Soon Messageº in the Index.
Also, see ªEngine Oil, When to Changeº and
ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index.
4 OPTIONS
This button allows you to choose personal options that
may be available on your vehicle, depending on the
options your vehicle is equipped with, such as easy entry
seats and language. Some of these functions work along
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
When returning to the options menu, the first item of
the options list will always be displayed, not the one you
were last in when you changed buttons.

If you're driving on a very rough road or if it's very hot,
the disc may not play and ERR (error) may appear on
the display. Press RECALL to take ERR off the display.
When things get back to normal, the disc should play.
If the disc comes out, it could be that:

The disc is upside down.

It is dirty, scratched or wet.

It is very humid. (If so, wait about an hour and
try again.)

go to the previous track if the current selection has been
playing for less than eight seconds. If the PREV button
is pressed and the current selection has been playing for
more than eight seconds, it will go to the beginning of
the current selection. If you hold the button or press it
more than once, the player will continue moving back
through the disc. The sound will mute while seeking.

rather than sequential, order. RANDOM will show on
the display. Press RDM again to turn off random play.
RDM is reset to off when the disc is ejected.

go to the next track. If you hold the button or press it
more than once, the player will continue moving forward
through the disc. The sound will mute while seeking.REV (4): Press and hold this button to quickly reverse
within a track. Release it to play the passage. You can
use the counter reading on the display to locate a

within a track. Release it to resume playing. You can
use the counter reading on the display to locate a
passage easily.

active or not. If your system is equipped with a remote
playback device, pressing this button a second time will
allow the remote device to play.
EJECT: Press this button to remove the disc. The radio
will play. The disc will start at the first track when you
reinsert it.

6-32 Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your vehicle
was designed and tested with top
-quality GM brake parts.
When you replace parts of your braking system
-- for
example, when your brake linings wear down and you
have to have new ones put in
-- be sure you get new
approved GM replacement parts. If you don't, your
brakes may no longer work properly. For example, if
someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes
can change
-- for the worse. The braking performance
you've come to expect can change in many other ways if
someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelco
battery. When it's time for a new battery,
get one that has the replacement number shown on the
original battery's label. We recommend an ACDelco
battery. For battery replacement, see your dealer or the
service manual. To purchase a service manual, see
ªService and Owner Publicationsº in the Index.
After the battery has been replaced, refer to the
ªRemote Function Actuation Systemº in the Index
to resynchronize your transmitter(s).
Vehicle Storage
If you're 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
aren't careful. See ªJump Startingº in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see ªTheft
-Deterrent
Featureº in the Index.
