Remote Keyless Entry System
Your keyless entry system operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modi®cations to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
·Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
·Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
·Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See ªBattery Replacementº under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-6.
·If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a
quali®ed technician for service.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a
RFA # BATTERY LOW message when the transmitter
battery is low.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Insert a thin coin in the slot between the covers
of the transmitter housing. Gently pry the
transmitter apart.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a three-volt
CR2032 or equivalent battery, positive (+) side
down.
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter.

Compact Disc Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the radio
display, it could be due to one of the following reasons:
·You're driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the disc should play.
·The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
·The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
·There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
·The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error message, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have the optional Digital Versatile Disc
(DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment
system includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of IR (Infrared) wireless headphones, a
remote control and an instructional video disc.
Before You Drive
The video entertainment system is for passengers in the
second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should
not try to do so.
In severe or extreme temperature conditions your
entertainment system should not be operated until the
temperature is within the operating range. This will keep
your video components from being damaged when
the temperature is below-4ÉF (-20ÉC) or above
140ÉF (60ÉC). To resume operation, shut off the
entertainment system, pull down the video screen and
then heat or cool the vehicle until the temperature
is within the operating range.
Headphones
The entertainment system includes two IR wireless
headphones.
Mini-headphone jacks are also provided for use with
customer provided headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and
a volume control. To use the headphones turn the
switch to ON. An indicator light will illuminate. If the light
does not illuminate, the batteries may need to be
replaced. See
Battery Replacementlater in this section
for more information. Switch the headphones to OFF
when not in use.
3-92

If the system is shut off, or if the headphones are out of
range of the IR transmitters below the overhead RSE
control panel for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut off automatically to save the
batteries. If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones will cut out.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door
located on the left side of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly.
3. Tighten the screws to close the compartment door.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period
of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks and the mini-headphone jacks are
located behind the video screen on the overhead
console. The RCA jacks allow you to hook up an
auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video game
unit. The yellow RCA jack is used for video and the
red and white RCA jacks are used for audio. You may
require adapter connectors or cables to connect
your auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer's instructions for proper usage. The
mini-headphone jacks allow you to hook up two
customer provided wired headphones.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the RSE,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both the
auxiliary device power and the power on the front of the
RSE player. If a disc is not present in the player, the
auxiliary signal will immediately be displayed on
the RSE. If a disc is present when the RSE power is
turned on, the player will automatically begin playing the
disc and the user will need to press the AUX button
on the remote control to display and/or hear the auxiliary
input signals. Each press of the AUX button on the
remote control will switch the system between disc and
auxiliary input. The wired headphone volume control
will only operate when the DVD player power is turned
on and it controls both wired headphone jacks at
the same time. See
Remote Controllater in this section
for more information.

remote control.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly.
3. Close the battery door securely.
If the remote control is to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.

Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your
vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality GM
brake parts. When you replace parts of your braking
system Ð for example, when your brake linings
wear down and you need new ones put in Ð be sure
you get new approved GM replacement parts. If
you don't, your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake linings that are
wrong for your vehicle, the balance between your front
and rear brakes can change Ð for the worse. The
braking performance you've come to expect can change
in many other ways if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.
Battery
Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelcožbattery. When it's time for a new battery, get
one that has the replacement number shown on the
original battery's label. We recommend an ACDelco
ž
battery. SeeEngine Compartment Overview on
page 5-12for battery location.
Warning:Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
