Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
alerts you when a significant
reduction in pressure occurs in
one or more of your vehicle’s tires
by illuminating the low tire pressure
warning light on the instrument
cluster. If the warning light comes
on, stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the tire loading
information label located on the
driver side center pillar (B pillar).
See Vehicle Load Limits
on
page 9‑27. The warning light will
remain on until the tire pressure is
corrected. You may notice during cooler
conditions that the low tire pressure
warning light will appear when the
vehicle is first started and then
turn off as you drive. This may be
an early indicator that your tire
pressures are getting low and the
tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
can alert you about low tire
pressure, but it does not replace
normal monthly tire maintenance.
It is the driver
’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
on page 10‑52andTire Pressure
Monitor Operation on page 10‑53.

Programming Transmitters to
the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters
programmed to this vehicle will
work. If a transmitter is lost or
stolen, a replacement can be
purchased and programmed through
your dealer. When the replacement
transmitter is programmed to this
vehicle, all remaining transmitters
must also be reprogrammed.
Any lost or stolen transmitters
will no longer work once the new
transmitter is programmed. Each
vehicle can have up to four
transmitters programmed to it.
Battery Replacement
The battery in the transmitter is
weak and should be changed if it
does not work at the normal range
in any location.
Notice:When replacing the
battery, do not touch any of the
circuitry on the transmitter. Static
from your body could damage the
transmitter. To replace the battery:
1. Separate the transmitter with a
flat, thin object inserted into the
notch on the side.
2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent
battery.
4. Snap the transmitter back together.
Door Locks
{WARNING
Unlocked doors can be
dangerous.
.Passengers, especially
children, can easily open the
doors and fall out of a moving
vehicle. When a door is
locked, the handle will not
open it. The chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash is increased if the
doors are not locked. So, all
passengers should wear
safety belts properly and the
doors should be locked
whenever the vehicle is
driven.

Vehicle Security
Vehicle theft is big business,
especially in some cities. This
vehicle has theft-deterrent features,
however, they do not make it
impossible to steal.
Anti-Theft Alarm System
This vehicle has a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
The security light is located on the
instrument panel cluster.
To arm the system:
1. Close all the doors.
2. Lock the doors with the RemoteKeyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
The security light flashes. If the lock button on the RKE
transmitter is pressed, but a door is
open, the doors lock, the lights may
flash and the horn may sound.
Close the open door to arm the
system.
The alarm goes off if a locked door
is not opened using the RKE
transmitter, or by OnStar
®.
A pre-alarm sounds the horn at
reduced intensity for 10 seconds.
Then, the front turn signal lamps
flash for two minutes, and the horn
sounds for two minutes. The alarm
then turns off to save battery power.
Start the engine to turn off the
alarm.
The theft-deterrent system does
not activate if the doors are locked
with the key, the manual door lock,
or power door lock switch. The
system can only be activated using
the RKE transmitter, or by OnStar.
See the OnStar Owner's Guide for
additional information. The vehicle
can be started with the correct key if
the alarm has been set off.

Heated Front Seats
{WARNING
If you cannot feel temperature
change or pain to the skin, the
seat heater may cause burns
even at low temperatures.
To reduce the risk of burns,
people with such a condition
should use care when using
the seat heater, especially for
long periods of time. Do not
place anything on the seat that
insulates against heat, such as
a blanket, cushion, cover or
similar item. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat.

Questions and Answers About
Safety Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicleafter a crash if I am wearing a
safety belt?
A: You could be—whether you are
wearing a safety belt or not. But
your chance of being conscious
during and after an accident, so
you canunbuckle and get out, is
much greater if you are belted.
And you can unbuckle a safety
belt, even if you are
upside down. Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why
should I have to wear safety
belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental
systems only; so they work with
safety belts —not instead of
them. Whether or not an airbag
is provided, all occupants still
have to buckle up to get the
most protection. That is true not
only in frontal collisions, but
especially in side and other
collisions. Q: If I am a good driver, and I
never drive far from home,
why should I wear safety
belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver,
but if you are in a crash —even
one that is not your fault —you
and your passenger(s) can be
hurt. Being a good driver does
not protect you from things
beyond your control, such as
bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
40 km (25 miles) of home.
And the greatest number of
serious injuries and deaths
occur at speeds of less than
65 km/h (40 mph).
Safety belts are for everyone.

Infotainment System 7-9
Unknown:If this message is
received when tuned to channel 0,

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about
16 to 65 km (10 to 40 mile). Although
the radio has a built-in electronic
circuit that automatically works to
reduce interference, some static
can occur, especially around tall
buildings or hills, causing the sound
to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives
digital radio reception from
coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just
as with FM, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and
out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges,
garages, or tunnels may cause loss
of the XM signal for a period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on.
This interference causes an
increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If static is
received while listening to the radio,
unplug the cellular phone and turn
it off.
