Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE
transmitter should last about four years.
The battery is weak if the transmitter will not work
at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it is probably time to change the battery.
The KEY FOB BATT LOW message in the
vehicle’s DIC will display if the RKE transmitter
battery is low.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry. Static from
your body transferred to these surfaces may
damage the transmitter.To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter do
the following:
1. Insert a at object, with a thin edge, into the
notch located below the vehicle locator/panic
alarm button, and separate the bottom
half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with the new
one. Make sure the positive (+) side of the
battery faces up. Use one three-volt, CR2032,
or equivalent, type battery.

Delayed Locking
This feature lets the driver to delay the locking of
the vehicle. It will not operate with the key in
the ignition. SeeLockout Protection on page 112.
Press the driver’s power door lock switch or the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter lock
button once. With the key removed from the ignition
and the driver’s door open, the following will occur:
Three chimes will sound to signal the delay.
All doors will lock and the turn signals will ash
once ve seconds after the last door has been
closed.
The horn will chirp if the horn chirp feature is
enabled. SeeDIC Operation and Displays on
page 209.
If a door is opened before the ve seconds has
ended, the doors will not lock until ve seconds
after all doors are closed.
If the power door lock switch or the transmitter
lock button is pressed twice when leaving
the vehicle, the doors will lock immediately.
If the power door unlock switch or the transmitter
unlock button is pressed, the doors will unlock
immediately and do not lock automatically after
the doors are closed.This feature is turned on at the factory but may be
turned off through the Driver Information Center
(DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 216.
Automatic Door Lock
Your vehicle is programmed at the factory to lock all
doors automatically when the following are met:
All doors are closed.
The ignition is on.
The shift lever is moved out of PARK (P) for
vehicles with an automatic transaxle.
The vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph
(8 km/h) for vehicles with a manual transaxle.
This feature cannot be disabled.
If someone needs to exit the vehicle once the
doors are locked, have that person use the manual
lock knob or power door unlock switch.
110

9(OFF):This is the only position from which
you can remove the key. For a vehicle with an
automatic transaxle, the shift lever must be in
PARK (P) with the ignition in OFF to remove the
key. For a vehicle with a manual transaxle, the shift
lever must be in REVERSE (R) to remove the key.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s
door while the ignition is off and the key is in the
ignition.
ACC (Accessory):This position unlocks the
transaxle. It also lets you use things like the radio
and windshield wipers while the engine is not
running. To use ACC, turn the key clockwise to the
rst position. Use this position if your vehicle must
be pushed or towed. SeeRecreational Vehicle
Towing on page 294.
Never try to push-start your vehicle, unless it has a
manual transaxle.R(ON):This position is where the key returns to
after you start the engine and release the key. The
ignition switch will stay in this position while the
engine is running. But even while the engine is not
running, you can use ON to operate your electrical
accessories and to display some instrument
panel warning lights. Use the ON position for
push-starting a vehicle with a manual transaxle.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in
the ACC or ON position with the engine off. You
may not be able to start your vehicle if the battery
is allowed to drain for an extended period of time.
/(START):This position starts the engine. When
the engine starts, release the key. The ignition
switch will return to the ON position for normal
driving.
123

You can use LOW (L) on very steep hills, or in deep
snow or mud. If the shift lever is put in LOW (L), the
transaxle will not shift into rst gear until the vehicle
is going slowly enough.
Notice:Driving in LOW (L) for more than
25 miles (40 km) or at speeds over 55 mph
(90 km/h) may damage the transaxle. Also,
shifting into LOW (L) at speeds above 65 mph
(105 km/h) can cause damage. Drive in
THIRD (3) or DRIVE (D) instead of LOW (L).
Notice:Spinning the tires or holding the
vehicle in one place on a hill using only the
accelerator pedal may damage the transaxle.
If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When
stopping on a hill, use the brakes, or parking
brake to hold the vehicle in place.
MANUAL MODE (M):This position, available on
the GT/GTP models, allows you to change gears
similar to a manual transaxle. If your vehicle has
this feature, see Manual Shift Mode (MSM)
following.Manual Shift Mode (MSM)
(Automatic Transaxle)
To use this feature, do the following:
1. Move the shift lever from DRIVE (D) rearward
and then to the right into the MANUAL
MODE (M).
While driving in manual shift mode, the
transaxle will remain in the driver gear selected.
When coming to a stop in the manual position,
the vehicle will automaticaly shift to
FIRST (1) gear.
2. Press the shift level forward to upshift or
rearward to downshift.
The odometer display on the instrument panel
cluster will change from the vehicle’s mileage to
the letter M, for manual shift mode, and a number
indicating the requested gear range when
moving the shift lever forward or rearward. See
Speedometer and Odometer on page 194for more
information.
While using the MSM feature the vehicle will have
rmer shifting and sportier performance. You can
use this for sport driving or when climbing hills to
stay in gear longer or to downshift for more power
or engine braking.

Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with a compass and OnStar®
controls. For more information about OnStar®,
seeOnStar®System on page 148.
The automatic dimming feature turns on each time
the vehicle is started. To turn automatic dimming
off or on, press the left button below the mirror.
A green indicator light will be on when automatic
dimming is on.
There are also three OnStar
®buttons located at
the bottom of the mirror. See your dealer for more
information on the system and how to subscribe
to OnStar
®. SeeOnStar®System on page 148for
more information about the service OnStar®
provides.
Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass
on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are
on, the compass will show two character boxes for
a few seconds. After a few seconds, the mirror
will display the current compass direction.
Compass Calibration
If after a few seconds the display does not show a
compass direction, (N for North for example), there
may be a strong magnetic eld interfering with the
compass. Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, note pad holder, or
similar object. If the letter C appears in the compass
window, the compass may need to be reset or
calibrated.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle
in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
143

Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If the
mirror is not adjusted for compass variance, the
compass could give false readings.
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if the vehicle
is driven outside zone eight. Under certain
circumstances, such as a long distance,
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to
adjust the compass variance.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number appears on the display.
3. Once the zone number appears on the
display, press the on/off button quickly
until you reach the correct zone number.
If C appears in the compass window,
the compass may need calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” listed previously.
