Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by 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
If your vehicle has the XM™ Satellite Radio
Service, it will have an XM™ Satellite Radio
antenna. This type of 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.

Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging,
weather, and chemical fallout that can take their
toll over a period of years. To help keep the
paint nish looking new, keep the vehicle in a
garage or covered whenever possible.
Windshield and Wiper Blades
Clean the outside of the windshield with
glass cleaner.
Clean the rubber blades using a lint free cloth or
paper towel soaked with windshield washer uid or
a mild detergent. Wash the windshield thoroughly
when cleaning the blades. Bugs, road grime,
sap, and a buildup of vehicle wash/wax treatments
may cause wiper streaking. Replace the wiper
blades if they are worn or damaged.
Wipers can be damaged by:
Extreme dusty conditions
Sand and salt
Heat and sun
Snow and ice, without proper removal
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.
