Rear Storage Area
The H3 has a rear storage area
located on the passenger side of the
cargo area. To open it, pull the
two tabs out and open lid.
Convenience Net
Use the convenience net, located in
the rear, to store small loads as far
forward as possible. The net should
not be used to store heavy loads.
Cargo Cover (H3)
Notice:Do not put items onto
the cargo cover. The weight of the
items could cause the attachment
clips to break. The cargo cover
could no longer be attached
and used. The repairs would not
be covered by the warranty.
Never put anything on top of the
cargo cover.
The vehicle may have a cargo
cover. It can be used to cover
items in the rear of the vehicle.To install the cover, place the loops
on each corner of the cover on
the four hooks in the rear of
the vehicle. The cover should be
stored securely when not in use.
Cargo Tie Downs
There may be four cargo tie-downs
that can be moved on the tracks
located on the roof. To move, loosen
the tie-down counterclockwise.
Turn clockwise to tighten and lock
in place.
Cargo Management
System (H3T)
The vehicle comes with a cargo
management system located in the
bed of the vehicle. The system
contains three rails located on the
front and sides of the bed.
The system has four adjustable
cargo tie-downs, that can be placed
on the upper and lower slides of
the rail.To adjust a tie-down, pull the locator
pin out and move the tie-down to
another location making sure
the locator pin lines up with a locator
hole on the rail. The tie-down pin
may not be installed correctly if the
pin does not line up, turn it over
and reinstall. The tie-down will not
move when the pin is completely
installed. The maximum load
for each rail is 500 lbs (227 kg).
The rails are notched at each end
which allows the tie-downs to
be removed and placed on another
rail. To remove, pull the locator
pin out and slide the tie-down to the
end of the rail and pull back.

Be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using
them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw
them. If the blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades
or blade inserts.
Windshield wipers work in all power
modes, except when the ignition
is set to LOCK/OFF. After the
engine is turned off, wipers will work
in Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) mode until a door is opened.

3-8 Instrument Panel

Headlamps on Reminder
A headlamp reminder chime will
sound if the following conditions
are met:
The driver door is open.
Parking lamps or headlamps are
manually turned on.
The key is either not in the
ignition switch, or it is in the
LOCK/OFF position of the ignition
switch.
The headlamp reminder cannot be
turned off if the conditions listed
above are met.
In the automatic mode, the
headlamps turn off once the ignition
is in ACC/ACCESSORY.
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 rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when
the following conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
The transmission is not in
P (Park), if the vehicle has
an automatic transmission.
The light sensor determines it is
daytime.When the DRL are on, no other
lamps are on. The instrument panel
will not be lit up either. For
vehicles rst sold in Canada, if
parking lamps are manually turned
on, DRL will stay on.
When it begins to get dark, the
automatic headlamp system will
switch from DRL to the headlamps.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
To turn off the DRL, seeExterior
Lamps on page 3-11.
Vehicles rst sold in Canada cannot
turn off DRL unless certain
conditions are met. SeeExterior
Lamps on page 3-11.
Instrument Panel 3-13

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 fastenough 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. 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. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-37.
Battery Run-Down
Protection
This feature shuts off the dome
lamp if it is left on for more
than 20 minutes when the ignition is
in LOCK/OFF. This helps to
prevent the battery from being
drained.
Instrument Panel 3-17

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
The heating, cooling, and ventilation of the vehicle can be controlled with this
system.
A. Temperature Control
B. Fan Control
C. Air Delivery Mode Control
D. Air Conditioning
E. Recirculation
F. Rear Window Defogger
9(Off):Turn the fan control to
this position to turn the fan off.
Air still enters the vehicle and
increases with vehicle speed
depending on the mode and
temperature settings. Turn on the
recirculation mode to stop this
airow. Temperature Control:
Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the
temperature of the air in the vehicle.
9(Fan Control): Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the fan speed.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise
to change the direction of the airow
in the vehicle. The airow can be
set between modes.
To change the current mode, select
one of the following:
H(Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets, and the
remaining air to the oor outlets and
the defroster and side window
outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to
the oor outlets.
Instrument Panel 3-19

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog or
frost from the rear window when the
key is in the ignition and turned
to ON/RUN.
=(Rear Defogger):Press to turn
the rear window defogger on or
off. After the button is rst pressed
the rear window defogger stays
on for about 15 minutes. If turned on
again, the defogger only runs for
about seven and one-half minutes.
Notice:Do not use anything
sharp on the inside of the rear
window. If you do, you could cut
or damage the warming grid, and
the repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle
license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the
center and on the side of the
instrument panel to direct the
airow.
This vehicle has air outlets that
allow you to adjust the direction and
amount of airow inside the
vehicle. Move the louvers up or
down to change the direction of the
airow. Use the thumbwheel
under the outlets to change the
direction of the airow from left
to right.Operation TipsUse the recirculation mode for
maximum air conditioning
performance.
Clear away any ice, snow or
leaves from the air inlets at
the base of the windshield that
may block the ow of air into the
vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood
deectors may adversely affect
the performance of the system.
Keep the path under the
front seats clear of objects to help
circulate the air inside of the
vehicle more effectively.
