Radio Personalization with Home
and Away Feature
With this feature, you can recall the latest audio
system settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows
two different drivers to store and recall their own
audio system settings. The settings recalled by the
audio system are determined by which transmitter
(1 or 2) was used to enter the vehicle. The
number on the back of the transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or to driver 2. The audio system
settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set by the identied driver. The settings
can also be recalled by briey pressing the
MEMORY seat switches 1 or 2 located on the
driver’s door.
Your audio system can store HOME and AWAY
preset stations. HOME and AWAY preset stations
allow you to use one set of preset radio settings
in the area where you live, and another set
when you go out of town. That way, you will not
need to reprogram your preset stations every time
you travel.
311

To select HOME and AWAY preset stations, do
the following:
1. With the audio system on, touch the Audio
hard key and turn the audio system off.
2. Touch the HOME or AWAY button from the
main audio screen.
The next time the audio system is turned on,
the system will recall the last active preset
selection.
When battery power is removed and later applied,
you will not have to reset your home audio
system preset stations because the audio system
remembers them. However, you will have to
reset your away radio preset stations.
Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation of navigation and
audio system features. Voice recognition can be
used when the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted
and I AGREE has been selected. If you try to
use voice recognition without the map DVD
inserted, the system will display “Please insert the
navigation map DVD to use the voice recognition
feature.”
To use navigation voice recognition, do the
following:
1. Press the talk
symbol steering
wheel control
and release it, when
you hear a beep.
The audio system, if
on, will mute.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on
the following pages. For example, say “FM1”.
3. The system will tell you the command being
implemented. For example, the system will
say “FM1 Radio” and change the audio
system to the FM1 source.

Magnetic Ride Control
Magnetic Ride Control automatically adjusts the
ride of your vehicle. Automatic ride control is
achieved through a computer used to control and
monitor the suspension system. The controller
receives input from various sensors to determine
the proper system response. If the controller
detects a problem within the system, the DIC will
display a SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 206for
more information. See your dealer for service.
Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Your limited-slip rear axle can give you additional
traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It
works like a standard axle most of the time, but
when one of the rear wheels has no traction
and the other does, this feature will allow
the wheel with traction to move the vehicle.
StabiliTrak®System
The StabiliTrak®System is a computer controlled
system that helps the driver maintain directional
control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
This is accomplished by selectively applying
any one of the vehicle’s brakes.
When you rst start your vehicle and begin to
drive away (6 mph (10 km/h)), especially during
cold weather, the message STABILITRAK
WARMING may be displayed in the Driver
Information Center (DIC), the instrument panel
cluster light will be on, and a chime will sound.
This is normal. You can acknowledge this
message by pressing the RESET button. The
StabiliTrak
®System performance is affected until
the message, STABILITRAK READY, is
displayed in the DIC. This can take up to
15 minutes.
The WAIT FOR STABILITRAK message may be
displayed in the DIC after exceeding 19 mph
(30 km/h) for 10 seconds if the steering is
not centered. The system is off until the
STABILITRAK ACTIVE message is displayed.

Your vehicle’s engine is lled at the factory with a
Mobil 1®synthetic oil, which meets all
requirements for your vehicle.
Substitute Engine Oil: When adding oil to maintain
engine oil level, oil meeting GM Standard
GM4718M may not be available. You can add
substitute oil designated SAE 5W-30 with
the starburst symbol at all temperatures. Substitute
oil not meeting GM Standard GM4718M should
not be used for an oil change.
Engine Oil Additives
Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended
oils with the starburst symbol that meet GM
Standard GM4718M are all you will need for good
performance and engine protection.
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you
know when to change the engine oil and lter.
This is based on engine revolutions and engine
temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change
will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil
life system to work properly, you must reset the
system every time the oil is changed.
Notice:If your vehicle is an XLR-V model, the
engine uses a special oil lter. The use of
any other engine oil lter could lead to lter
failure and result in severe engine damage.
Damage caused by use of the wrong engine oil
lter would not be covered by your new
vehicle warranty.
380

When the system has calculated that oil life has
been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change
is necessary. A CHANGE OIL NOW message
in the DIC will come on. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 206. Change your oil as
soon as possible within the next 600 miles
(1 000 km). It is possible that, if you are driving
under the best conditions, the oil life system may
not indicate that an oil change is necessary for
over a year. However, your engine oil and
lter must be changed at least once a year and at
this time the system must be reset. Your dealer
has GM-trained service people who will perform
this work using genuine GM parts and reset
the system. It is also important to check your oil
regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must
change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
since your last oil change. Remember to reset the
oil life system whenever the oil is changed.How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System and the Oil Life Indicator
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and lter based on vehicle
use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the
system so it can calculate when the next oil
change is required. If a situation occurs where you
change your oil prior to a CHANGE OIL NOW
message in the DIC being turned on, reset
the system.
After the oil has been changed, the CHANGE OIL
NOW message and the oil life indicator must
be reset. To reset the message use the following
procedure:
1. Press the up or down arrow to scroll the DIC
to show OIL LIFE.
2. Once the XXX% ENGINE OIL LIFE menu item
is highlighted, press and hold the RESET
button until the percentage shows 100%.
If the percentage does not return to 100% or if
the CHANGE OIL NOW message comes
back on when you start your vehicle,
the engine oil life system has not reset.
Repeat the procedure.

If you get the overheat 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 overheat 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, pull over, stop, and park
your vehicle right away.
If there is still no sign of steam, 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 vehicle until it cools down.
Also, see “Overheated Engine Protection
Operating Mode” later in this section.
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 situation. If
an overheated engine condition exists and the
DIC message ENGINE HOT, STOP ENGINE is
displayed, an overheat protection mode which
alternates ring groups of cylinders helps prevent
engine damage. In this mode, you will notice a
signicant loss in power and engine performance.
Driving extended miles (km) 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, change the oil and reset the oil life
system. SeeEngine Oil on page 377.

What to Use
To add lubricant when the level is low, use
SAE 75W–90 Synthetic Gear Lubricant
(GM Part No. 89021677) or equivalent meeting
GM Specication 9986115. To completely
rell after draining, add 4 ounces (118 ml) of
Limited-Slip Differential Lubricant Additive
(GM Part No. 1052358) or equivalent. Then ll to
the bottom of the ller plug hole with the
Synthetic Gear Lubricant.
Headlamp Aiming
Your vehicle has high intensity discharge (HID)
visual optical aiming type headlamps. The aim has
been preset at the factory and should need no
further adjustment. If you suspect that the
headlamps need to be reaimed, it is recommended
that you contact your dealer for service. However,
it is possible for you to re-aim your headlamps
as described in the following procedure.
Notice:To make sure your headlamps are
aimed properly, read all the instructions before
beginning. Failure to follow these instructions
could cause damage to headlamp parts.

When rotating P235/50R18 size tires, always use
the correct rotation pattern shown here.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front
and rear ination pressures as shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label, seeInation - Tire
Pressure on page 422andLoading Your Vehicle on
page 354. Vehicles that have the Tire Pressure
Monitor (TPM) system will need to have the sensors
reset after a tire rotation is performed. A special tool
is needed to reset the sensor identication codes.
See your dealer for service. Make certain that all
wheel nuts are properly tightened. SeeWheel
Replacement on page 432and “Wheel Nut Torque”
underCapacities and Specications on page 458.
{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel
could come off and cause a crash. When
you change a wheel, remove any rust or
dirt from places where the wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can
use a cloth or a paper towel to do this;
but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if you need to, to get all the rust or
dirt off.
XLR-V Tires
Tire rotation is not recommended if your vehicle
has P235/45R19 size tires on the front axle
and P255/40R19 size tires on the rear axle.
Different tire sizes front to rear should not
be rotated.

Scheduled Maintenance
When the CHANGE OIL NOW message in the
Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on, it
means that service is required for your vehicle.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible
within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible
that, if you are driving under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system may not indicate
that vehicle service is necessary for over a year.
However, your engine oil and lter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the
system must be reset. Your GM Goodwrench
®
dealer has GM-trained service technicians who will
perform this work using genuine GM parts and
reset the system.If the engine oil life system is ever reset
accidentally, you must service your vehicle within
3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last service.
Remember to reset the oil life system whenever
the oil is changed. SeeEngine Oil Life System on
page 380for information on the Engine Oil Life
System and resetting the system.
When the CHANGE OIL NOW message appears,
certain services, checks, and inspections are
required. Required services are described in the
following for “MaintenanceI” and “MaintenanceII.”
Generally, it is recommended that your rst
service be MaintenanceI, your second service be
MaintenanceII, and that you alternate
MaintenanceIand MaintenanceIIthereafter.
However, in some cases, MaintenanceIImay be
required more often.
