variance zone.
4. Press
3until the vehicle
heading, for example, N for
North, is displayed in the DIC.
5. Calibrate the compass. See “Compass Calibration
Procedure” following.
Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually
calibrated. Only calibrate the
compass in a magnetically clean
and safe location, such as an open
parking lot, where driving the
vehicle in circles is not a danger.
Also calibrate the compass, away
from tall buildings, utility wires,
manhole covers, or other industrial
structures, if possible.
If the DIC display does not show a
heading, for example, N for North,
or the heading does not change
after making turns, there may be a
strong magnetic field interfering with
the compass. Interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna
mount, magnetic note pad holder,
or any other magnetic item. Turn off
the vehicle, move the magnetic
item, then turn on the vehicle and
calibrate the compass.
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass,
check that the compass is set to
the correct variance zone. See
“Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure” earlier in this
section.
Do not operate any switches
such as window, sunroof,
climate controls, seats, etc.
during the calibration procedure.

ALLOWED
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this message
displays when the keyless access
transmitter is not detected inside the
vehicle while you are trying to turn
the ignition off. The vehicle may be
near a strong radio antenna signal
causing the keyless access system
to be jammed. If you have the
keyless access transmitter with you,
get out of the vehicle and lock the
doors. If you do not have the
keyless access transmitter with you,
you will be able to start the vehicle
again within five minutes, or after
the vehicle's content theft-deterrentsystem is armed. See

Introduction
Infotainment
Read the following pages to
become familiar with the audio
system's features.
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road
for extended periods could cause
a crash resulting in injury or
death to you or others. Do not
give extended attention to
entertainment tasks while driving.
This system provides access to
many audio and non‐audio listings.

7-16 Infotainment System
Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated
with the rear window defogger,
located in the rear window. Make
sure that the inside surface of the
rear window is not scratched and
that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface is
damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception. For proper radio
reception, the antenna connector
needs to be properly attached to
the post on the glass.
If a cellular telephone antenna
needs to be attached to the glass,
make sure that the grid lines for the
AM-FM antenna are not damaged.
There is enough space between
the grid lines to attach a cellular
telephone antenna without
interfering with radio reception.
Notice:Using a razor blade or
sharp object to clear the inside
rear window can damage the rear
window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects.
Notice:
Do not apply aftermarket
glass tinting with metallic film.
The metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
your backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Multi-Band Antenna
The antenna located on the roof of
the vehicle is used for the OnStar,
XM Satellite Radio Service System,
and GPS (Global Positioning
System), if the vehicle has these
features. Keep the antenna clear
of obstructions for clear reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof and it is
open, the performance of OnStar,
XM, and GPS can be affected.
Audio Players
CD Player
The infotainment system's CD
player can play audio CDs and
MP3 CDs.
CDs that are 8 cm (3 in) in diameter
will not work in the CD player.
Care of CDs
If playing a CD, the sound quality
can be reduced due to disc quality,
the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the disc has
been handled. Handle discs
carefully. Store CDs in their original
cases or other protective cases and
away from direct sunlight and dust.
The CD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface of
a disc is damaged, such as cracked,
broken, or scratched, the disc may
not play properly or not at all. Do
not touch the bottom side of a disc
while handling it; this could damage
