2-41 Exit Illumination
To see better when exiting your vehicle at night, your
vehicle is equipped with an Exit Illumination feature.
The interior lamps will illuminate for up to 25 seconds
when you remove your key from the ignition. After
25 seconds have elapsed, the interior lamps will slowly
fade out. The lamps will fade out before the 25 seconds
have elapsed if you:

turn the ignition to ON.

lock all doors using your remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).

lock the doors using the power door lock switch.
When any door is opened, Exit Illumination is
cancelled. The interior lamps will stay on while any
door is opened. The interior lamps may stay on for up to
25 seconds after all the doors have been closed if they
have not been locked. See ªDelayed Illuminationº in
the Index.
Battery Saver
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case you accidentally leave an
interior or trunk lamp on. If you leave any of these
lamps on while the ignition is in ACC or OFF, they will
automatically turn off after 20 minutes. The lamps won't
come back on until you do one of the following:

turn the ignition to ON,

turn the interior lamp dial all the way up or

open (or close and reopen) a door that is closed.
Note that if your vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km)
on the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps
after only three minutes.
Mirrors
Adjust all mirrors so you can see clearly when you are
sitting in a comfortable position.
Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from lamps behind you, push the
lever away from you (to the night position). To return
the mirror back to the day position, pull the lever
toward you.

Your instrument panel cluster includes indicator
warning lights and gages that are explained on the
following pages.
Speedometer/Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven in
either miles (used in the United States) or in kilometers
(used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper
-resistant odometer.
If your odometer fails and needs to be replaced, the
entire cluster needs to be replaced. Take your vehicle to
the dealer to have this done. The dealer will have the
new cluster odometer set to the mileage of the old
odometer/cluster if at all possible. But if it can't, then
it's set at zero and a label must be put on the driver's
door to show the old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.Season/Trip Mode
Press this button to display
the total vehicle mileage
(season mode).
It is also pressed to display the trip mileage (trip mode).
The mode switch is located on the left side of the
instrument panel, next to the TRIP RESET button for
the trip odometer.

Trip Odometer
Your trip odometer (trip mode) tells you how far you
have driven since you last reset it. To set it to zero, press
and hold the TRIP RESET button on the left side of the
instrument panel for two to three seconds.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.

6-52 Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced
carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
Scheduled wheel alignment and wheel balancing are not
needed. However, if you notice unusual tire wear or
your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment
may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle
vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum
wheels, which can sometimes be repaired). See your
dealer if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load
-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original
equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the
right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for your vehicle.
CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous.
It could affect the braking and handling of your
vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you
lose control. You could have a collision in which
you or others could be injured. Always use the
correct wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for replacement.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance and tire
clearance to the body and chassis.
See ªChanging a Flat Tireº in the Index for
more information.
