On all vehicles, features such as climate control
settings, radio preset settings, exterior lighting
at unlock, remote lock and unlock conrmation,
and automatic door locks have already been
programmed for your convenience.
Some vehicles have additional features that can
be programmed including the seat and outside
rearview mirror position.
If your vehicle has the ability to program additional
personalization features, the driver’s preferences
are recalled by pressing the unlock button on
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter,
1 or 2, or by pressing the appropriate memory
button, 1 or 2, located on the driver’s door. Certain
features can be programmed not to recall until
the key is placed in the ignition. To change feature
preferences, see “Entering the Personalization
Menu” following.Entering the Personalization Menu
To enter the feature programming mode, use the
following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, but do not start the
engine. Make sure an automatic transmission
is in PARK (P) or a manual transmission
has the parking brake set.
To avoid excessive drain on the battery, it is
recommended that the headlamps are
turned off.
2. If your vehicle has memory settings, press the
appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver’s door armrest. The DIC display
will show either Driver 1 or 2 depending
on which button was selected.
3. Press the PWR/VOL knob to turn the radio on.
4. Press the TUNE/SEL knob once to access the
main menu of the DIC.
5. Turn the TUNE/SEL knob until SETUP is
highlighted.

If you get the Engine Coolant Hot - Idle Engine
warning with no sign of steam, try this for a minute
or so:
1. In heavy traffic, let the engine idle in
NEUTRAL (N) while stopped. If it is safe to do
so, pull off the road, shift to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) and let the engine idle.
2. Set the climate controls to the highest heat
setting and fan speed and open the windows,
as necessary.
If you no longer have the Engine Coolant
Hot - Idle Engine warning, you can drive. Just to
be safe, drive slower for about 10 minutes. If
the warning does not come back on, you can
drive normally.
If the warning continues and you have not
stopped, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle
right away.
If there is still no sign of steam, you can idle the
engine for three minutes while you are parked.
If you still have the warning,turn off the engine
and get everyone out of the vehicleuntil it
cools down.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to get
service help right away.Overheated Engine Protection
Operating Mode
This operating mode allows your vehicle to be
driven to a safe place in an emergency. Should an
hot engine condition exist, an overheat protection
mode which alternates ring groups of cylinders
helps prevent engine damage. In this mode, there
is a loss in power and engine performance.
Driving extended miles (km) and/or towing a trailer
in the overheat protection mode should be
avoided.
Notice:After driving in the overheated engine
protection operating mode, to avoid engine
damage, allow the engine to cool before
attempting any repair. The engine oil will be
severely degraded. Repair the cause of coolant
loss and change the oil. SeeEngine Oil on
page 346.

While the tires available on General Motors
passenger cars and light trucks may vary with
respect to these grades, they must also conform
to federal safety requirements and additional
General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC)
standards.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specied
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and a half (1.5) times
as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart signicantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices, and differences in road characteristics
and climate.
Traction – AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA,
A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specied government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
Warning:The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
