Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
L(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of the
multifunction lever. To spray washer uid on the
windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will
clear the window and then either stop or return to
your preset speed.
Heated Windshield Washer
If your vehicle has the heated windshield washer
uid system it may be used to help clear ice,
snow, tree sap, or bugs from your windshield.The button is located in
the switchbank under
the climate controls.
Push the heated washer uid button to activate
the heated windshield washer uid system.
The indicator light will ash. This activation will
initiate four heated wash/wipe cycles. The
rst heated wash/wipe cycle may take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on outside
temperature. After the rst wash/wipe cycle, it may
take up to 20 seconds for each of the remaining
cycles to begin. Press the button again to turn
off the heated windshield washer uid system or it
will automatically turn off after four wipe cycles
have been completed.
When the heated windshield washer uid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may ow out of the washer
nozzles for a short period of time before washer
uid is sprayed. This is a normal condition.
217

To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, turn the control to the off position.
You may be able to turn off your Automatic
Headlamp System. SeeDaytime Running Lamps
(DRL) on page 222for more information.
Your headlamps will also stay on after you exit the
vehicle. You can program this feature using the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 289.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when needed.
Puddle Lamps
Your vehicle may have puddle lamps, that come
on when it is dark outside to help you see the area
near the base of the front doors. The puddle
lamps will come on when a door is opened, or
when you press the unlock button on the Remote
Keyless Entry Transmitter. The lamps will time
out or turn off once the engine is started.
Fog Lamps
-(Fog Lamps):If your vehicle has fog lamps,
the button is located on the instrument panel
to the left of the steering column and below the
dome lamp override button.
The ignition must be in RUN and the parking
lamps must be on for the fog lamps to work.

The fog lamps turn off while you change to
high-beam headlamps. When the high-beam
headlamps go off, the fog lamps will come
on again.
Fog lamps should only be used in foggy conditions
since they could be distracting to oncoming
drivers in clear weather conditions.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
224

Auxiliary Roof Mounted Lamp
If your vehicle has this feature, this button includes
wiring provisions for a dealer or a qualied
service center to install an auxiliary roof lamp.
This button is located
on the overhead
console.
When the wiring is connected to an auxiliary roof
mounted lamp, pressing the bottom of the
button will activate the lamp and illuminate an
indicator light at the bottom of this button. Pressing
the top of the button will turn off the roof mounted
lamp and indicator.
The emergency roof lamp circuit is fused at
30 amps, so the total current draw of the attached
lamps should be less than this value. The
attachment points for the roof lamp circuits are
two blunt cut wires located above the overhead
console, a dark green switched power wire and a
black ground wire.For further information on roof mount emergency
lamp installation, please visit the GM Uptter
website at www.gmuptters.com or contact
your dealer.
If your vehicle has this button, your vehicle may
have the snow plow prep package. For further
information seeAdding a Snow Plow or Similar
Equipment on page 432.

225

Dome Lamps

The dome lamps can also be turned on by
turning the knob, located next to the exterior lamps
control, clockwise to the farthest position. In this
position, the dome lamps will remain on whether a
door is opened or closed.
Dome Lamp Override

the dome lamps will remain off when the doors

Entry Lighting
Your vehicle has an illuminated entry feature.
When the doors are opened, the dome lamps will

extended position. If the dome override button is
pressed in, the lamps will not come on.

instrument panel brightness control knob to the
farthest clockwise position. This knob is located on
the instrument panel and also turns on the
dome lamps.
The cargo lamp can be used if more light is
needed in the cargo area of the vehicle or in the
top-box storage units.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of the battery.When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or voltage
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you
may see the voltage move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be
displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
227

Climate Controls
Climate Control System (With Air
Conditioning)
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation for your vehicle.
Operation
9
(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. Turn the knob all the way counterclockwise
to turn the front system off.Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase

The right knob can be positioned between
two modes to select a combination of those
two modes.
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to
the instrument panel outlets and half to the
oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets with some air directed to the
windshield and side window outlets. In this mode,
the system will automatically select outside air.
Recirculation cannot be selected in oor mode.
The right knob may also be used to select the
defrost and defog mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
234

Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog
or moisture and warm the passengers. The air
is directed to the windshield, oor outlets, and side
window vents.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost
from the windshield more quickly. A portion of the
air is directed to the windshield and the side
window vents, with some air directed to the oor
vents. The system will automatically force
outside air into the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected in the
defog or defrost mode. When either mode is
selected, the system runs the air conditioning
compressor, unless the outside temperature
is close to freezing. Do not drive the vehicle until
all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has a rear window defogger it uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. An indicator light on
the button will come on to let you know that
the rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN. The rear window defogger
will stay on for approximately 10 minutes after the
button is pressed, unless the ignition is turned
to ACC or LOCK. The defogger can also be turned
off by pressing the button again or by turning off
the engine.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to the
defogger grid.
