Performance and
Maintenance
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
The Traction Control System (TCS)
limits wheel spin. The system turns
on automatically every time the
vehicle is started.
The StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system assists with
directional control of the vehicle in
difficult driving conditions. The
system also turns on automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
.To turn off TCS, press and release
gon the center stack.icomes
on in the instrument cluster and a
DIC message may display.
. To turn off both TCS and
StabiliTrak/ESC, press and hold
g,
until
iandgcome on in the
instrument cluster. A DIC message
may display. .
Press and release
gagain to turn
on both systems.
See Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0196.
Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS).
The low tire pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in pressure
of one of the vehicle's tires. If the
warning light comes on, stop as soon
as possible and inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label.
See Vehicle Load Limits 0179. The
warning light will remain on until the
tire pressure is corrected.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the tire
pressures are getting low and the tires
need to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See
Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 281.
Fuel (LFX 3.6L V6 Engine)
Regular Unleaded Fuel
Use only Regular 87 octane —(R+M)/
2 — or higher unleaded gasoline in
your vehicle. TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline is recommended. Do not use
gasoline with an octane rating lower
as it will result in reduced
performance and lower fuel economy.

INT :Use this setting for intermittent
wipes or for Rainsense wipes, when
Rainsense is enabled. For intermittent
wipes, move the lever up to INT, then
turn the
xINT band up for more
frequent wipes or down for less
frequent wipes. If Rainsense is
enabled, see “Rainsense”later in this
section.
If the windshield wipers are in use
while driving, the exterior lamps come
on automatically if the exterior lamp
control is in AUTO. The transition
time for the lamps coming on varies
based on wiper speed. See “Lights On
with Wipers ”under Automatic
Headlamp System 0157.
OFF : Use to turn the wipers off.
1X : For a single wipe, briefly move
the wiper lever down. For several
wipes, hold the wiper lever down. Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windshield before using
them. If frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be replaced.
See
Wiper Blade Replacement 0260.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or INT with
Rainsense disabled, they will
immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield.
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing or Rainsense, the
wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense, a sensor
near the top center of the windshield
detects the amount of water on the windshield and controls the frequency
of the windshield wiper. To turn this
feature on or off, see
“Rain Sense
Wipers ”under Vehicle Personalization
0 147.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
INT : When enabled, move the
windshield wiper lever to INT. Turn
the
xINT band on the wiper lever
to adjust the sensitivity.
. Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
. Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
. Move the windshield wiper lever
out of the INT position to
deactivate Rainsense.

heavier throttle.
It displays the air pressure level in the
intake manifold before it enters the
engine's combustion chamber.
The gauge is automatically centered at
zero every time the engine is started.
Actual boost is displayed from this
zero point. Changes in ambient
pressure, such as driving in mountains
and changing weather, will slightly
change the zero reading.
