Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat, Mirrors and
Steering Wheel
Your vehicle is equipped with the memory package.
The controls for these features are located on the
driver’s seat, and are used to program and recall
memory settings for the driver’s seating positions.
2-54

Use the following steps to program each button:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat including the seatback
recliner, lumbar and head restraint, both outside
mirrors and the steering wheel to a comfortable
position.
2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps are heard,
then release the button.
A second mirror, seating and steering wheel position
can be programmed by repeating the above steps and
pressing button 2 (for driver 2). Each time a memory
button is pressed and released, a single beep will sound.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory positions will be
recalled after a brief delay. If the vehicle is not in
PARK (P), three beeps will be heard and the memory
position will not be recalled.
When the engine is started, the seat, mirrors, and
steering wheel may automatically adjust to their
programmed positions.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any
time, press one of the power seat controls, power
mirror control buttons, memory buttons, or power
steering column control.Two personalized exit positions can be set by rst
recalling the driving position (by pressing 1 or 2), then
positioning the steering wheel and seat in the desired
exit positions and then pressing and holding the
exit button until two beeps are heard. The exit button is
located between buttons 1 and 2. With the vehicle in
PARK (P), the exit position for the previously set driver
can be recalled by pressing the exit button.
When you use the keyless access transmitter to unlock
your vehicle, automatic seat and steering wheel
movement to the exit position may occur. The numbers
on the back of the transmitter, 1 and 2, corresponds
to the numbers on the memory buttons.
Further programming for automatic seat and mirror
movement can be done using the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
For programming information, seeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-73.

Windshield Washer
K(Washer Fluid):The lever on the right side of the
steering column also controls the windshield washer.
There is a button at the end of the lever. To spray
washer uid on the windshield, press the button and
hold it. The washer will spray until you release the
button. The wipers will continue to clear the window for
about six seconds after the button is released and
then stop or return to your preset speed.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
If the uid in the windshield washer uid reservoir is
low, the message LOW WASHER FLUID will appear on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. It will
take 60 seconds after the bottle is relled for this
message to turn off. For information on the correct
washer uid mixture to use, seeWindshield Washer
Fluid on page 6-32andRecommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 7-11.
Headlamp Washer
Every fourth time the windshield washer button is
pressed, washer uid will clean the headlamps.
Cruise Control
Your vehicle is equipped
with cruise control.
9(Off):This position turns the system off.
R(On):This position activates the system.

Approaching and Following a Vehicle
The vehicle ahead symbol
will only appear on the
HUD when a vehicle ahead
is detected in your path.
If this symbol does not appear, or disappears briey,
Adaptive Cruise Control will not respond to vehicles you
may see ahead.{CAUTION:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is
blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect
a vehicle ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control may
not have time to slow your vehicle enough to
avoid a collision. Do not use Adaptive Cruise
Control when the radar is blocked by snow,
ice, or dirt. Keep your radar clean. See
“Cleaning the System” later in this section.
Adaptive Cruise Control will automatically slow your
vehicle down when approaching a slower moving
vehicle. It will then adjust your speed to follow the
vehicle in front at the selected follow distance. Your
speed will increase or decrease to follow the vehicle in
front of you but will not exceed the set speed. The
system may apply limited braking if necessary. When
braking is active, your brake lights will come on. It may
feel or sound different than if you were applying the
brakes yourself. This is normal.
3-23

Cleaning the System
The radar can become blocked by snow, ice or dirt. If so,
you may need to turn off the engine and clean the lens.
The lens is located on the driver’s side of the front fascia.
Clean the surface with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl
alcohol and water on a dampened cloth. After cleaning
the fascia lens, try to engage Adaptive Cruise Control. If
this does not x the problem, you may have to remove
the fascia lens and clean the inside of the fascia lens and
radar lens.To clean the inside of the fascia lens and radar lens,
insert a screwdriver or similar object into one of the small
slots on the inboard side of the lens and pop the lens out.
Clean the surface with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl
alcohol and water on a dampened cloth. After cleaning
the lens, set the lens back in place and press until it
snaps in.
Exterior Lamps
The exterior lamp control is located to the left of the
steering wheel on the multifunction lever.
O(Exterior Lamp Control):Turn the band with this
symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps.
3-28

Sensors
There are sensors to measure the temperature and
sun’s effect on passenger comfort.
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar
radiation then uses the information to maintain the
selected temperature when operating in AUTO mode by
initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the
fan speed and the air delivery system. The system may
also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing
the sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as
necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel near the windshield
or the system will not work properly.
There is also a sensor located behind the front bumper.
This sensor reads the outside air temperature and
helps maintain the temperature inside the vehicle. The
outside temperature will be displayed in the navigation
system only when the engine is running. Any cover
on the front of the vehicle could give a false reading of
the temperature.If the outside temperature goes up, the display
temperature will not change until:The vehicle’s speed is above 10 mph (16 km/h) for
ve minutes.
The vehicle’s speed is above 32 mph (51 km/h) for
two and one-half minutes.
These delays prevent false readings. If the temperature
goes down, the outside temperature will be shown
when you start the vehicle. If it has been turned off for
less than three hours, the temperature will be recalled
from the previous vehicle operation.
There is also an inside temperature sensor located to
the left of the ignition button. The automatic climate
control system uses this sensor to receive information,
so if you block or cover it, the system will not function
properly.

Outlet Adjustment
Use the thumbwheel to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Keep the area around the base of the instrument
panel console and air path under the seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside of
your vehicle more effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air lter removes certain
odor and particles from the air including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airow, which may occur
more often in dusty areas, indicate that the lter may
need to be replaced early.
The lter should be replaced as part of the routine
scheduled maintenance. SeeScheduled Maintenance
on page 7-4for more information.
The passenger compartment air lter is located on the
passenger’s side of the engine compartment near
the battery. SeeEngine Compartment Overview on
page 6-12for more information on location.
To check or replace the air lter, do the following:
1. With the hood open, unlatch and remove the
access panel.
2. Pull the old lter out of the housing.
3. Insert the new lter into the housing. The lter should
be fully inserted with the arrows pointing up.
4. Reinstall the air lter access panel.
