With the key in the
ignition switch, you can
turn the switch to four
different positions.
LOCK (
): Before you put the key in, the ignition
will be in LOCK. This is the only position from which
you can remove the key. This position locks the
ignition, steering wheel and transmission. It's a
theft
-deterrent feature.
OFF (I): This position lets you turn off the engine
but still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the
steering wheel like LOCK. Use OFF if you must
have your vehicle in motion while the engine is off
(for example, if your vehicle is being pushed).ON (II): The ignition is on in this position. ON is used
for driving your vehicle.
START (III): This position starts the engine.
To lock the steering column, remove the key while in
LOCK. Turn the steering wheel until you hear a click.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The radio and the optional cellular phone are the only
accessories on your vehicle that may be used for up to
10 minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF or until
a door is opened.
Power to the door locks is available at all times. Power
to the fuel door and trunk release will be available
for 15 minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF.
The power window controls and the sunroof (optional)
controls are active until a door is opened
-- there is
no time limit as long as the doors remain closed.

2-54
Assist Handles
A handle above each door can be used when getting out
of your vehicle.
Garment Hooks
For convenience, you will find garment hooks attached
to each assist handle.
Floor Mats
Your vehicle is equipped with rubber-backed front and
rear floor mats. Keep them clean by vacuuming and
using a spot cleaner, if necessary. Do not machine wash.
Sunroof (Option)
The express-open sunroof
can increase ventilation
and it includes a sliding
glass panel and a sliding
sunshade. Power is
supplied to the sunroof
when the ignition key
is turned to ON.
When you stop your vehicle and turn the ignition key
to LOCK, you can still use the sunroof. The electrical
power to operate the sunroof will not shut off until a
door is opened
-- there is no time limit to this feature.
As soon as a door is opened, sunroof movement will
stop immediately. See ªRetained Accessory Powerº
in the Index.

2-56 Anti-Pinch Feature
If a hand, an arm or another object is in the way of the
power sunroof closing, the glass panel will stop at the
obstruction and open to a preset factory position.
CAUTION:
Pressing and holding the power sunroof control
dial in the up position will turn off the anti
-pinch
feature. If this happens, the sunroof won't stop if
something gets in the way. You or others could
be injured, and your sunroof could be damaged.
Be careful not to press and hold the power
sunroof control dial in the up position.
Manual Operation
If a failure in the power supply system occurs, the
sunroof can be manually closed by inserting a
screwdriver into the slot as shown. Turning the
screwdriver counterclockwise will close the sunroof.
The screwdriver is provided in the tool kit in the
trunk (with the jack).

2-57 Programming the Sunroof
If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged,
disconnected or is not working, you will need to
reprogram the sunroof following these steps. Refer to the
illustration under ªSunroofº for control dial positions.
With your vehicle's ignition on:
1. If the sunroof is closed, turn the control dial to
position E. Hold the dial in position for about
five seconds.
If the sunroof is open, turn the control dial to E and
hold until the glass panel has closed. Now continue
holding the dial for approximately five more seconds.
2. Turn the control dial to position G and hold until the
sunroof is fully tilted (about three seconds after the
motor has stopped).
3. Now turn the control dial to position E and
keep holding until the sunroof is fully closed
(about three seconds after the motor has stopped).4. Turn the control dial to position A and hold until the
sunroof is fully open (about three seconds after the
motor has stopped).
5. Turn to position E and keep holding the
control dial until the sunroof has fully closed
(about three seconds after the motor has stopped).
The sunroof is now programmed.
Please note that if the sunroof keeps opening after you
attempt to close it once it has been programmed, you
will need to repeat Steps 2 through 5 (up to three times
if needed). If you are still having problems, consult your
dealer for service.
Also keep in mind that if something is in the way of the
sunroof closing during programming and you continue
to program the sunroof, the sunroof will only open or
close to the spot where the obstruction occurred. You
will need to reprogram the sunroof again, making sure
that the object has been removed.

6-30
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.
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.
After a power loss, such as disconnecting the battery
or removing the maxi fuses in the power distribution
fuse block, the following steps must be performed to
calibrate the Electronic Throttle Control. If this is not
done, the engine will not run properly.1. Turn the ignition key to the ON (II) position. Do not
start the engine.
2. Leave the ignition in the ON (II) position for at least
three minutes so that the electronic throttle control
will cycle and re
-learn its home position.
3. Turn the ignition to OFF.
4. Start and run the engine for at least 30 seconds.
Also, for your audio system, see ªTheft
-Deterrent
Featureº in the Index.
To reprogram your power windows and sunroof
(if equipped), see ªPower Windowsº and ªSunroofº
in the Index.
Bulb Replacement
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this
section, contact your dealer service department.
For bulb types, see ªReplacement Bulbsº in the Index.
