Care of the CD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CD players is not
advised, due to the risk of contaminating the internal
lens of the CD optics with lubricants.
Diversity Antenna System
The AM-FM antenna is a hidden self tuning system. It
optimizes the AM and FM signals relative to the vehicle’s
position and radio station source. No maintenance or
adjustments are needed.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System (Roof or Trunk Mounted)
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
or on the trunk lid of your vehicle. Keep this antenna
clear of snow and ice build up for clear radio reception.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System (Diversity System)
Your vehicle may have the XM™ Satellite Radio
antennas that are located in the outside rear view
mirrors. These antennas are hidden from view and are
not accessible.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is used to adjust the vehicle’s chime level.
To change the volume level of the chime, press and hold
pushbutton 6 with the ignition on and the radio power off.
The volume level will change from the normal level to
loud, and LOUD will appear on the radio display. To
change back to the default or normal setting, press and
hold pushbutton 6 again. The volume level will change
from the loud level to normal, and NORMAL will appear
on the radio display. Only one chime will be heard when
changing from the normal to the loud setting. Each time
the chime volume is changed, three chimes will sound as
an example of the new volume selected. Removing the
radio and not replacing it with a factory radio or chime
module will disable vehicle chimes.

Removable Roof Panel
Notice:If you use a glass treatment and/or
conditioner that contains ethyl alcohol or ethyl
sulfate on the roof panel, you could damage
the panel. The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Only use a GM-approved glass cleaner
on the roof panel.
Special care is necessary when cleaning, removing,
and/or storing the roof panel.
Flush with water to remove dust and dirt, then dry
the panel.
Clean a transparent roof panel with GM Glass
Cleaner. Leave the cleaner on the panel for
one minute, then wipe the panel with a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use glass cleaner on a painted
roof panel.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on either
type of panel.
If water drops are frequently allowed to dry on the roof
panel, impurities in the water will adhere to the top.
These impurities may etch or mar the nish. When the
panel gets wet, dry it off.
Convertible Top
The vehicle’s convertible top should be cleaned often.
However, high pressure car washes may cause water to
enter your vehicle.
When you hand wash the top, do it in partial shade.
Use a mild soap, lukewarm water and a soft sponge.
A chamois or cloth may leave lint on the top, and
a brush can chafe the threads in the top fabric. Do not
use detergents, harsh cleaners, solvents or bleaching
agents.
Wet the entire vehicle and wash the top evenly to avoid
spots or rings. Let the soap remain on the fabric for
a few minutes. When the top is really dirty, use a mild
foam-type cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the entire
vehicle, then let the top dry in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
After you wash the vehicle, make sure the top is
completely dry before you lower it.
Do not get any cleaner on the vehicle’s painted
nish; it could leave streaks.
If you decide to go through an automatic car wash,
ask the manager if the equipment could damage
your top.
