3-11 Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating
or cooling is needed, use the panel outlet setting
(on the standard system) to direct outside air through
your vehicle. Air will flow through the instrument
panel outlets.
Your vehicle's flow
-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it's moving. When the
vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow
through by selecting any air delivery mode and any
fan speed.
Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust
the direction and amount of airflow inside the vehicle.
Move the outlet up or down and move the control in
the center of each outlet side
-to-side to direct the air
from the outlet. Use the thumbwheel under the outlet
to turn the outlet off. For the most efficient airflow
and temperature control, keep the outlet in the fully
opened position.
The rear seat outlets can be used to adjust the airflow
toward either seating area, the floor or upward. Move
the control in the center of each outlet in any direction
to direct airflow.

3-49
The entertainment system is only compatible with
Region 1 DVDs authorized for use in the United States,
Canada, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands
and some islands in the Pacific. On some DVD jackets,
you will see the region displayed. Regular audio CDs
can also be played by the DVD player. The video
screen will default to off when an audio CD is played.
Home recorded CDs (CDRs) will not play in this
DVD player. Try the audio system's CD player instead.
If an error message appears on the front instrument
panel display, see ªDVD Messagesº later in this section.

will continue loading the disc and the player will
automatically start.
If a disc is already in the player, press the play/pause
button on the face of the player or on the remote control.
Some DVDs will not allow you to fast forward or
skip the copyright or previews. Some DVDs will begin
playing after the previews have finished. If the DVD does

DVD player or the remote. As long as the disc has not
been ejected and the stop button has not been pressed
twice on the remote control, the movie should resume
play from where it was last stopped. If the disc has been
ejected, or if the stop button on the remote has been
pressed twice, the disc will resume play at the beginning.

4-57 Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you
would when driving your vehicle without a trailer. This
can help you avoid situations that require heavy braking
and sudden turns.
Passing
You'll need more passing distance up ahead when
you're towing a trailer. And, because you're a good deal
longer, you'll need to go much farther beyond the
passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand.
Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand
to the left. To move the trailer to the right, move your
hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if
possible, have someone guide you.
Making Turns
NOTICE:
Making very sharp turns while trailering could
cause the trailer to come in contact with the
vehicle. Your vehicle could be damaged. Avoid
making very sharp turns while trailering.
When you're turning with a trailer, make wider turns than
normal. Do this so your trailer won't strike soft shoulders,
curbs, road signs, trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or
sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
The arrows on your instrument panel will flash
whenever you signal a turn or lane change. Properly
hooked up, the trailer lamps will also flash, telling other
drivers you're about to turn, change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the arrows on your instrument
panel will flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer
are burned out. Thus, you may think drivers behind you
are seeing your signal when they are not. It's important
to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are
still working.

4-60 Trailer Wiring Harness
Your vehicle is equipped with the seven-wire trailer
towing harness. This harness has a seven
-pin universal
heavy
-duty trailer connector that is attached to a bracket
on the hitch platform. The seven
-wire harness contains
the following trailer circuits:

Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal

Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn Signal

Brown: Running Lamps

White: Ground

Light Green: Back
-up Lamps

Red: Battery Feed

Dark Blue: Electric Brakes
If you need to tow a light
-duty trailer with a standard
four
-way round pin connector, an adapter connector is
available from your dealer.
Your vehicle is also equipped with wiring for an electric
trailer brake controller. These wires are located inside
the vehicle on the driver's side under the instrument
panel. These wires should be connected to an electric
trailer brake controller by your dealer or a qualified
service center.

5-8
To disconnect the jumper cables from both vehicles, do
the following:
1. Disconnect the black negative (
-) cable from the
vehicle that had the dead battery.
2. Disconnect the black negative (
-) cable from the
vehicle with the good battery.
3. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the
vehicle with the good battery.
4. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the
other vehicle.
Towing Your Vehicle
Consult your dealer or a professional towing service
if you need to have your disabled vehicle towed.
See ªRoadside Assistanceº in the Index.
If you want to tow your vehicle behind another vehicle
for recreational purposes (such as behind a motorhome),
see ªRecreational Vehicle Towingº in the Index.
Engine Overheating
You will find a coolant temperature gage on your
vehicle's instrument panel. See ªGagesº in the Index.
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine

6-9 Hood Release
1. To open the hood, first
pull the handle located
inside the vehicle on the
lower driver's side of the
instrument panel.
2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and release the
secondary hood release.
3. Lift the hood, release the hood prop from its retainer
and put the hood prop into the slot in the hood.
There may be a lamp that comes on when you open
the hood.

6-49 Cleaning the Top of the Instrument Panel
Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces
of the instrument panel. Sprays containing silicones or
waxes may cause annoying reflections in the windshield
and even make it difficult to see through the windshield
under certain conditions.
Cleaning Interior Plastic Components
Use only a mild soap and water solution on a soft
cloth or sponge. Commercial cleaners may affect the
surface finish.
Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it
may severely weaken them. In a crash, they
might not be able to provide adequate protection.
Clean safety belts only with mild soap and
lukewarm water.
Cleaning Glass Surfaces
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner or a
liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal
tobacco smoke and dust films on interior glass. See
ªAppearance Care and Materialsº in the Index.
NOTICE:
Don't use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they
may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the
inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used
on the inside of the rear window, an electric
defogger element may be damaged. Any
temporary license should not be attached across
the defogger grid.

6-55
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
This is the legal identifier for your vehicle. It appears on
a plate in the front corner of the instrument panel, on the
driver's side. You can see it if you look through the
windshield from outside your vehicle. The VIN also
appears on the Vehicle Certification and Service Parts
labels and the certificates of title and registration.
Engine Identification
The 8th character in your VIN is the engine code. This
code will help you identify your engine, specifications
and replacement parts.
Service Parts Identification Label
You'll find this label on the inside of the glove box. It's
very helpful if you ever need to order parts. On this
label is:

your VIN,

the model designation,

paint information and

a list of all production options and
special equipment.
Be sure that this label is not removed from the vehicle.
