Parade Mode
The instrument panel brightness control has an added
feature called parade mode to assist you in seeing
certain instrument panel controls if your headlamps are
on in the daylight. Without turning the courtesy lamps
on, turn the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel all
the way to the top. The radio, season/trip odometer,
gearshift selection indicator on the instrument panel
cluster and the heating and air conditioning controls will
come on at their maximum brightness. This will occur
only with the parking lamps or headlamps on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to
enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these
lamps on by turning the interior lamps dial all the way
up or by turning on each individual lamp.
Illuminated Entry
Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you press UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter (if equipped).If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it's open
then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after you
close it. If you press UNLOCK and don't open a door,
the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Illuminated entry includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don't just
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly
dim after the delay time until they go out. The delay
time is cancelled if you turn the ignition key to ON, so
the lamps will dim out right away. When the ignition is
on, illuminated entry is inactive, which means the
courtesy lamps won't come on unless a door is opened.
Illumination on Door Handle Activation
Illumination on door handle activation is a standard
feature intended to provide enhanced security and
convenience by allowing the driver to activate the
vehicle interior illumination without unlocking or
opening any vehicle door.
The ignition must be off and the doors locked for the
illumination on door handle activation to work. The
illumination on door handle activation feature can
function in two ways.

2-41 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.
Please 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
located on the bottom center of the mirror away from
you to the night position. To return the mirror back to
the day position, pull the lever toward you.
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass and Map Lamps (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an automatic electrochromic
day/night rearview mirror with a compass and map lamps.
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A time delay feature prevents
rapid changing from the day to night positions while
driving under lights and through traffic.

2-53 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.

2-54
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.

6-48 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 or tire
chain tire clearance to the body and chassis.
See ªChanging a Flat Tireº in the Index for
more information.
