All-Wheel Drive
If your vehicle has all-wheel drive, your engine’s driving
power is sent to all four wheels for extra traction
when needed.
This is like four-wheel drive, but there is no separate
lever or switch to engage or disengage the front axle. It
is fully automatic, and adjusts itself as needed for
road conditions.
You may experience a brief vehicle vibration upon
acceleration when driving in slippery conditions. This is
normal and is an indication that the all-wheel drive
system is functioning properly.
SeeAll-Wheel Drive (AWD) System on page 4-12for
more information.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is
located under the
instrument panel on the
driver’s side of the vehicle.
To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal
down with your right foot and push down on the parking
brake pedal with your left foot.

Storage Areas
Your vehicle’s large carrying capacity can store many
items. If the vehicle has an extended wheelbase, it can
carry even larger items. The oor pins that are used
to attach the seats, can be used to secure larger loads.
There may be additional storage areas behind the
seats. Pull the lid towards you to open the storage.
Glove Box
If the glove box has a lock, put your key into the lock
and turn the key counterclockwise. To open the
glove box, pull the latch release.
The glove box door has a detent to prevent the door
from lowering too far. Open the glove box until the door
is partway open, then pull the door down if you need
it fully opened.
To close the glove box, the door must be pushed up
past the detent. To lock the glove box, put your key into
the lock and turn the key clockwise.
Cupholder(s)
There are cupholders located below the center
instrument panel switchbank. The cupholders have a
rubber liner that can be removed, so that larger cups can
t into the cupholders. You can also remove the liner
to clean it.
To use the cupholders, pull the tray out. Push the tray
back when not in use.
Overhead Console (With Rail)
If your vehicle is equipped with an overhead console, it
may contain the following:
Reading lamps. SeeFront Reading Lamps on
page 3-19orRear Reading Lamps on page 3-19.
Switchbank. SeeOverhead Console Switchbank on
page 3-20.
OnStar®System buttons. SeeOnStar®System on
page 2-44.

cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.

speed.
Cruise control allows a speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more to be maintained without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. SeeTraction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again.

the ow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more
effectively.
Rear Climate Control System
Your vehicle may have a rear climate control system
that allows the driver to adjust the fan speed for the rear
seating area. This system works with the main climate
control system in your vehicle.
This thumbwheel is located below the main climate
control system on the instrument panel. Use this
thumbwheel to adjust the fan speed for the rear seat
passengers.
