How to Detect a Tamper
Condition
IfKis pressed and the horn chirps
and the lights flash three times, the
alarm was activated while the alarm
system was armed.
If the alarm system has been
activated, a message will appear on
the DIC.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0383.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the vehicle is
turned off.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition is on or in
ACC/ACCESSORY and a valid
transmitter is present in the vehicle.
The security light, in the instrument
cluster, comes on if there is a problem
with arming or disarming the
theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more RKE
transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in your
vehicle. Only a correctly matched RKE
transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is ever damaged,
you may not be able to start your
vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light may come on briefly
when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change ignition
modes (ACC/ACCESSORY, on, off), and
the RKE transmitter appears to be undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the
transmitter in the front cupholder
located in the center console. See
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation
07.
If the ignition mode will not change
with the other transmitter or in the
front cupholder, your vehicle needs
service. If the ignition does change
modes, the first transmitter may be
faulty. See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have a
new RKE transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
RKE transmitters. Up to eight
transmitters can be programmed for
the vehicle. To program additional
transmitters, see “Programming
Transmitters to the Vehicle ”under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation 07.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.

SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 47
If equipped, the rear heated seat
buttons are on the rear of the center
console.
Press
MorLto heat the left outboard
or right outboard seat. Press the
button once for the highest setting.
With each press of the button, the
seat will change to the next lower
setting, and then to the off setting.
The indicator lights on the buttons
indicate three for the highest setting
and one for the lowest.
If the heated rear seats are on the
highest setting, the level may
automatically be lowered after
approximately 30 minutes.
Seat Belts
This section describes how to use seat
belts properly, and some things not
to do.
{Warning
Do not let anyone ride where a seat
belt cannot be worn properly. In a
crash, if you or your passenger(s)
are not wearing seat belts, injuries
can be much worse than if you are
wearing seat belts. You can be
seriously injured or killed by hitting
things inside the vehicle harder or
by being ejected from the vehicle.
In addition, anyone who is not
buckled up can strike other
passengers in the vehicle.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in
a cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a collision, passengers
riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed. Do
not allow passengers to ride in any
area of the vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Always wear a seat belt, and check
that all passenger(s) are restrained
properly too.
This vehicle has indicators as a
reminder to buckle the seat belts. See
Seat Belt Reminders 0103.
Why Seat Belts Work
When riding in a vehicle, you travel as
fast as the vehicle does. If the vehicle
stops suddenly, you keep going until
something stops you. It could be the
windshield, the instrument panel,
or the seat belts!

96 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
The vehicle has three accessory power
outlets: one at the front of the center
console, one under the armrest, and
one in the rear cargo area.
Certain accessory power plugs may
not be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload
vehicle or adapter fuses. If a problem
is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. SeeAdd-On Electrical
Equipment 0280.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the
power outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such as
cell phone charge cords.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the maximum
15 amps rating.
Wireless Charging
The vehicle may have wireless
charging in the storage bin under the
armrest. The system operates at
145 kHz and wirelessly charges one Qi
compatible smartphone. The power
output of the system is capable of
charging at a rate up to 3 amp (15W),
as requested by the smartphone. See
Radio Frequency Statement 0383.
{Warning
Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical devices.
If you have one, it is recommended
to consult with your doctor before
using the wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be on, in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be active. The
wireless charging feature may not
correctly indicate charging when the
vehicle is in RAP, or during Bluetooth
phone calls. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) 0224.
The operating temperature is −20 °C
(−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the

buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.
The front passenger seat belt reminder
light and chime may come on if an
object is put on the seat such as a
briefcase, handbag, grocery bag,
laptop, or other electronic device. To

For more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System 054.
The airbag readiness light comes on
for several seconds when the vehicle is
started. If the light does not come on
then, have it fixed immediately.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in the
vehicle might not inflate in a crash,
or they could even inflate without a
crash. To help avoid injury, have
the vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center
(DIC) message may also come on.
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger sensing
system. See Passenger Sensing System
0 60 for important safety information.
The overhead console has a passenger
airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator will
light ON and OFF, and the symbols for
on and off, for several seconds as a
system check. Then, after several more
seconds, the status indicator will light
either ON or OFF, and either the
symbol for on or off, to let you know
the status of the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and knee
airbag.
If the word ON, and the on symbol,
are lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag and
knee airbag are allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF, and the off symbol,
are lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off the
front outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag.

CLIMATE CONTROLS 201
Sensor
The solar sensor, on top of the
instrument panel near the windshield,
monitors the solar intensity.
The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed, recirculation,
and air delivery mode for best
comfort.
If the sensor is covered, the automatic
climate control system may not work
properly.
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.
Maintenance
