Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it
is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle,a
chime will sound, when you open the driver’s door.
Always remember to remove your key from the
ignition and take it with you. This will lock your
ignition and transaxle. Also, always remember to
lock the doors.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
Your vehicle has a Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) feature which will allow certain features on
your vehicle to continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the ignition key is turned to LOCK.
The radio, power windows, and if the vehicle has
a sunroof and the OnStar
®System, will work
when the ignition key is in RUN or ACCESSORY.
Once the key is turned from RUN to LOCK,
these features will continue to work for up to
10 minutes or until a door is opened.
Starting the Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N). Your engine will not start in any
other position — that is a safety feature. To
restart when you are already moving, use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
Notice:Do not try to shift to PARK (P) if your
vehicle is moving. If you do, you could
damage the transmission. Shift to PARK (P)
only when your vehicle is stopped.
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn
the ignition key to START. When the engine
starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will go
down as your engine gets warm. Do not
race the engine immediately after starting it.
Operate the engine and transmission
gently until the oil warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Your vehicle has a Computer-Controlled
Cranking System. This feature assists in
starting the engine and protects the electrical
system.

Front Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located on the overhead
console.
To turn the reading lamps on or off, press the
button located next to each lamp.
The lamps can be adjusted to a desired direction.
Your vehicle may also have reading lamps in
other locations. To turn the lamps on or off, press
the button located next to the lamp. The lamps
are xed and cannot be adjusted.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, and reading
lamps if they are left on for more than 10 minutes
when the ignition is off. This will keep the
battery from running down.
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA)
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
system is designed to help you park while in
Reverse (R). It operates only at speeds less than
5 mph (8 km/h). URPA helps make parking
easier and helps you avoid colliding with objects
such as parked vehicles. The URPA system
detects objects that are close to the rear of the
vehicle which are at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off
the ground and below hood or trunk level. The
system detects objects up to 8 feet (2.5 m) behind
your vehicle. URPA determines how close
these objects are from your bumper within this
area. Ultrasonic sensors on the rear bumper are
used to detect the distance to the object.
208

{CAUTION:
Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist
system, the driver must check carefully
before backing up. The system does not
operate above speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h).
The system does not detect objects more
than 8 feet (2.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
This detection distance limit may be
reduced during warm weather or high
humidity. Also, the system does not
detect objects that are below your
bumper, underneath your vehicle, or some
objects very close to the vehicle. The
system is not designed to detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.
So, unless you check carefully behind
your vehicle while you are backing up,
they could be injured or killed.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Whether or not you are using rear park
assist, always check carefully behind your
vehicle before backing up and then watch
closely as you do.
The display is located
near the passenger side
rear window and can
be seen by looking over
your right shoulder.
The display has three color-coded lights. The
URPA lights are used to provide distance and
system information, along with beeps that will be
heard through the speakers.
209

URPA can be turned off
by pressing the rear
park aid disable button
located below the
climate controls. The
indicator light on
the button will be lit to
indicate that URPA
is off.
The red light in the URPA display will also be lit if
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). If the vehicle
has a DIC, PARKING ASSIST OFF will display.
URPA automatically turns back on each time
the vehicle is started.How the System Works
When the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R),
the rear display will briey come on to let you
know the display is operating correctly. URPA
comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into REVERSE (R). The system also
does not work at a reverse speed greater than
5 mph (8 km/h). To remind you of this, the red light
on the rear display will ash.
The system can be disabled using the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Operation and
Displays (Using DIC Buttons) on page 245or
DIC Operation and Displays (Using Trip Odometer
Reset Stem) on page 250.
210

How the System Works when Backing
If the shift lever is in REVERSE (R), URPA detects
objects close to the rear bumper. The rst time an
object is detected a single beep will sound. If an
object is detected at a REVERSE (R) speed
between 0 mph (0 km/h) and 5 mph (8 km/h), the
following describes what will occur based on your
distance to a detected object located behind the
vehicle:
At distances between 40 inches (1 m) and
8 ft (2.5 m), a single amber light will come on.
At distances between 23 inches (0.6 m) and
40 inches (1 m), both amber lights will be on.
At distances between 12 inches (0.3 m) and
23 inches (0.6 m), all three lights (amber/
amber/red) will be on.
At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m), a
beeping sound will repeat for a short time and
all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be on and
ashing.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the URPA system will not activate due to a
temporary condition, the message PARKING
ASSIST OFF will be displayed on the DIC and a
red light will be shown on the rear URPA
display when the shift lever is moved into
REVERSE (R). This occurs under the following
conditions:
The driver disables the system. SeeDIC
Operation and Displays (Using DIC Buttons)
on page 245orDIC Operation and Displays
(Using Trip Odometer Reset Stem) on
page 250.
The parking brake pedal is depressed.
