Universal Remote System
Programming
If equipped, these buttons are in the
overhead console. This system can replace up to three
remote control transmitters used to
activate devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and home
automation devices. These
instructions refer to a garage door
opener, but can be used for other
devices.
Do not use the Universal Remote
system with any garage door opener
that does not have the stop and
reverse feature. This includes any
garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future programming.
Erase the programming when vehicle
ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing
Universal Remote System Buttons”
later in this section.
To program a garage door opener,
park outside directly in line with and
facing the garage door opener receiver.
Clear all people and objects near the
garage door. Make sure the hand-held transmitter
has a new battery for quick and
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.

Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears
on the instrument cluster when the
high beams are on.
There is a sensor near the top center
of the windshield that automatically
controls the system. Keep this area of
the windshield clear of debris to allow
for best system performance. The high-beam headlamps remain on,
under the automatic control, until one
of the following situations occurs:
.The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps.
.The system detects a preceding
vehicle's taillamps.
.The outside light is bright enough
that high-beam headlamps are not
required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below
20 km/h (12 mph).
.The IntelliBeam system is disabled
by the button on the turn signal
lever. If this happens, press
bon
the turn signal lever when the
exterior lamp control is in the
AUTO or
2position to reactivate
the IntelliBeam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the IntelliBeam
system is reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle's lamps because
of any of the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps are
missing, damaged, obstructed from
view, or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or road
spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by something
that blocks the view of the light
sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the
front end points upward, causing
the light sensor to aim high and not
detect headlamps and taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven on
winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.

seat indicator lights may not come on
during a remote start. If equipped, the
heated steering wheel will come on in
a remote start if it is cold outside. The
heated steering wheel indicator light
may not come on.
Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the
defrost grille in the middle of the
instrument panel, monitors the solar
heat. Do not cover the solar sensor or
the system will not work properly.
There is also an exterior temperature
sensor behind the front grille. This
sensor reads the outside air
temperature and helps maintain thetemperature inside the vehicle. Any
cover on the front of the vehicle could
cause a false reading in the displayed
temperature.
The climate control system uses the
information from these sensors to
maintain comfort settings by
adjusting the outlet temperature, fan
speed, and air delivery mode. The
system may also supply cooler air to
the side of the vehicle facing the sun.
The recirculation mode will also be
used as needed to maintain cool
outlet temperatures.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain conditions,
the fan may stay on or may turn on
and off several times after you turn
off and lock the vehicle. This is
normal.
Air Vents
Adjustable air vents are in the center
and on the sides of the instrument
panel, and on the rear of the center
console storage.
Move the slider knobs to change the
direction of or to close off the airf low.Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves
from air inlets at the base of the
windshield that could block the
flow of air into the vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Keep the path under the front seats
clear of objects to help circulate the
air inside of the vehicle more
effectively.
.Use of non-GM approved hood
deflectors can adversely affect the
performance of the system. Check
with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of the
vehicle.
.Do not attach any devices to the air
vent slats. This restricts airf low and
may cause damage to the air vents.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 219
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle has electric power
steering. It does not have power
steering fluid. Regular maintenance is
not required.
If power steering assist is lost due to a
system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered, but may require increased
effort.
If the steering wheel is turned until it
reaches the end of its travel and is
held against that position for an
extended period of time, power
steering assist may be reduced.
If the steering assist is used for an
extended period of time while the
vehicle is not moving, power assist
may be reduced.
Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the system
cools down.
See your dealer if there is a problem.
Curve Tips
.Take curves at a reasonable speed.
.Reduce speed before entering a
curve.
.Maintain a reasonable steady speed
through the curve.
.Wait until the vehicle is out of the
curve before accelerating gently into
the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
.There are some situations when
steering around a problem may be
more effective than braking.
.Holding both sides of the steering
wheel allows you to turn
180 degrees without removing
a hand.
.Antilock Brake System (ABS) allows
steering while braking.
Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle's right wheels can drop off
the edge of a road onto the shoulder
while driving. Follow these tips:1. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer
the vehicle so that it straddles the
edge of the pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about one-eighth of a turn, until the right
front tire contacts the
pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.

2022 - CRC - 10/11/21
220 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
.Braking Skid—wheels are not
rolling.
.Steering or Cornering Skid —too
much speed or steering in a curve
causes tires to slip and lose
cornering force.
.Acceleration Skid —too much
throttle causes the driving wheels
to spin.
Defensive drivers avoid most skids by
taking reasonable care suited to
existing conditions, and by not
overdriving those conditions. But
skids are always possible.
If the vehicle starts to slide, follow
these suggestions:
.Ease your foot off the accelerator
pedal and steer the way you want
the vehicle to go. The vehicle may
straighten out. Be ready for a
second skid if it occurs.
.Slow down and adjust your driving
according to weather conditions.
Stopping distance can be longer and
vehicle control can be affected when
traction is reduced by water, snow,
ice, gravel, or other material on the
road. Learn to recognize warning
clues —such as enough water, ice,
or packed snow on the road to
make a mirrored surface —and
slow down when you have any
doubt.
.Try to avoid sudden steering,
acceleration, or braking, including
reducing vehicle speed by shifting
to a lower gear. Any sudden changes
could cause the tires to slide.
Remember: Antilock brakes help avoid
only the braking skid.
Track Events and
Competitive Driving
(V-Series and V-Series
Blackwing)
Before any track event, there are three
features that should be turned off:
.Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB). See Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) 0306.
.Lane Keep Assist. See Lane Keep
Assist (LKA) 0312.
.Adaptive Cruise Control. See
Adaptive Cruise Control (Advanced)
0270.
{Danger
High-performance features are
intended for use only on closed
tracks by experienced and qualified
drivers and should not be used on
public roads. High-speed driving,
aggressive cornering, hard braking,
and other high-performance driving
can be dangerous. Improper driver
inputs for the conditions may result
in loss of control of the vehicle,
which could injure or kill you or
others. Always drive safely.
Track events and competitive driving
may affect the vehicle warranty. See
the warranty manual before using the
vehicle for competitive driving.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 221
{Warning
Some of the adjustments and
procedures specified in this section
may require specialized skill,
training, and equipment. Failure to
perform these procedures properly
could cause malfunction,
potentially resulting in death,
personal injury, or damage to the
vehicle or property. Do not attempt
to perform these adjustments or
procedures unless properly
qualified.
{Warning
Prior to each track event and again
before returning to public roads,
tighten the wheel nuts with a
torque wrench to the proper torque
specification. Wheel nuts that are
improperly or incorrectly tightened
can cause the wheels to become
loose or come off, resulting in a
crash. SeeCapacities and
Specifications 0426 for wheel nut
torque specifications.
Caution
If the vehicle is used for track
events and competitive driving, the
engine may use more oil than it
would with normal use. Low oil
levels can damage the engine.
Check the oil level often and
maintain the proper level. See
Engine Oil 0336.
Competitive Driving Mode can be
selected. See Driver Mode Control
0 259.
Seat Belts
Lap-Shoulder Belt
If equipped, the driver seat belt has an
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).
This feature is useful in performance
driving scenarios where the driver
wants to be held in the seat more
tightly to take advantage of the
aggressive bolstering of the seat.
1. Move the seat 8-10 cm (3-4 in) rearward from the normal driving
position. 2. Pull the driver shoulder belt out as
far as it will go, until it stops, to set
the lock. While holding the
shoulder belt in this position,
buckle the belt.
When the shoulder belt is released,
the retractor will make a ratchet
sound when it retracts. When the
retractor lock is set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled out of the
retractor.
3. Adjust the belt, and then move the seat forward 8-10 cm (3-4 in) to
the desired driving position. This
will secure the belt. The belt fit
should be tight, but not
uncomfortable.
To unlatch the belt, press the
button on the buckle. The belt
should return to its stowed
position.
Axle Fluid
Axles must have 2 400 km (1,500 mi)
before being used in track driving.
The front, if equipped with AWD, and
rear axle fluid temperatures may be
higher than when driving in severe
conditions. Drain and refill with new
