When the windshield wiper lever
is released, additional wipes may
occur depending on how long
the windshield washer had been
activated. SeeWasher Fluid on
page 10‑28 for information on
filling the windshield washer
fluid reservoir.
{WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
Clear ice and snow from the
wiper blades before using them.
If they are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged wiper blades should
be replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement on page 10‑34.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wipers. A circuit breaker stops them
until the motor cools.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass
receives its heading and other
information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak, and vehicle speed
information.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna
for long periods of time with
objects that may interfere with
the antenna's ability to receive a
satellite signal. See Backglass
Antenna on page 7‑13 andSatellite
Radio Antenna on page 7‑14 for the
location of the vehicle's antennas.
The compass system is designed
to operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive
a GPS signal. The compass
system will automatically determine
when the GPS signal is restored
and provide a heading again.
See
Compass Messages on
page 5‑35 for more information
on the messages that may be
displayed for the compass.
Clock
The infotainment system controls
are used to access the time and
date settings through the menu
system. See Operation on page 7‑4
for information about how to use the
menu system.

Universal Remote
System
SeeRadio Frequency Statement on
page 13‑19 for information
regarding Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) rules and Industry Canada
Standards RSS-210/220/310.
Universal Remote System
Programming
If the vehicle has this feature,
you will see these buttons with
one LED indicator next to them in
the overhead console. This system provides a way to
replace up to three remote control
transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.
Do not use the Universal Remote
system with any garage door opener
that does not have the stop and
reverse feature. This includes
any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program the
Universal Remote system. Because
of the steps involved, it may be
helpful to have another person
available to assist with programming
the Universal Remote system.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future Universal
Remote system programming. It is
also recommended that upon the
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
Universal Remote system buttons
be erased for security purposes.
See
“Erasing Universal Remote
System Buttons” later in this
section.
When programming a garage door,
park outside of the garage. Park
directly in line with and facing the
garage door opener motor-head
or gate motor-head. Be sure that
people and objects are clear of
the garage door or gate being
programmed.
It is recommended that a new
battery be installed in the hand-held
transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.

Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need help
programming the Universal Remote
system, call 1‐800‐355‐3515 or go
to www.homelink.com.
Canadian radio-frequency laws
require transmitter signals to time
out or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long
enough for the Universal Remote
system to pick up the signal during
programming. Similarly, some U.S.
gate operators are manufactured to
time out in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are
having difficulty programming a gate
operator or garage door opener byusing the
“Programming the
Universal Remote System”
procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 2 under
“Programming the Universal Remote
System” with the following:
2. Continue to press and hold
the Universal Remote system
button while you press and
release every two seconds (cycle)
the hand-held transmitter button
until the frequency signal has
been successfully accepted by
the Universal Remote system.
The Universal Remote system
indicator light will flash slowly at
first and then rapidly. Proceed with
Step 3 under “Programming the
Universal Remote System” to
complete.
Universal Remote System
Operation
Using the Universal Remote
System
Press and hold the appropriate
Universal Remote system
button for at least half of a second.
The indicator light will come on
while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing Universal Remote
System Buttons
All programmed buttons should be
erased when the vehicle is sold or
the lease ends.
To erase all programmed buttons
on the Universal Remote system
device:
1. Press and hold down the
two outside buttons until the
indicator light begins to flash.
This should take about
10 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.

6-4 Lighting
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside and
the headlamp switch is in AUTO,
the automatic headlamp system will
turn on the headlamps at the normal
brightness along with other lamps
such as the taillamps, sidemarker,
parking lamps, license plate lamps,
and the instrument panel lights.
The radio lights will also be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp
system, turn the exterior lamps
switch to the off position and then
release. For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the transmission must be
in the P (Park) position, before the
automatic headlamp system can
be turned off.The vehicle has a light sensor
located on the top of the instrument
panel. Do not cover this sensor or
the system will come on whenever
the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through
a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition
between the daytime and nighttime
operation of the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and the automatic
headlamp systems so that driving
under bridges or bright overhead
street lights does not affect the
system. The DRL and automatic
headlamp system will only be
affected when the light sensor
sees a change in lighting lasting
longer than the delay.If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately.
If it is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there will be a
slight delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to
the DRL. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not
be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position.
