Rear Reading Lamps
There may be two reading lamps in the third row
headliner.
To turn on or
off either reading lamp, press the lens
of the lamp.
There is also a reading lamp
in the second row,
integrated with the dome lamp. To turn on or
off
either reading lamp, press the button next to the
lamp lens.
These lamps will not turn on
if the interior lamps
override switch is on. See “Interior Lamps Override”
earlier in this section.
Cargo Lamp
The cargo lamp is located in the rear of your vehicle,
above the liftgate opening, and does not have a switch.
The cargo lamp will come on each time you open a
door, unless you turn on the interior lamps override.
See “Interior Lamps Override” earlier in this section.
Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery, in case you accidentally leave the
interior lamps on. If
you leave any interior lamps on
while the ignition is in LOCK or
OFF, they will
automatically turn
off after 10 minutes. The lamps won’t
come back on again until you do one of the following:
0 Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY,
turn the interior lamps thumbwheel all the way to
the right, then slightly back to the left, or
open (or close and reopen) a door that is closed.
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.
3-20

Speedometer and 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 kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer.
You may wonder what happens
if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed.
If the new one can be set to
the mileage total of the old odometer, then that will
be done.
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.
Dual Trip Odometers
In addition to the standard odometer, the cluster can
also display two separate trip odometers (designated
by the letter
A or B in the display window) as well as
your vehicle’s Engine Oil Life (designated by the
word
OIL in the display window). The display can be
toggled between the odometer, the trip odometers
and engine oil life by quickly pressing and releasing
the tripheset button located to the right of the
temperature gage. The display toggles once each
time the tripheset button is pressed for less than
1.5 seconds. The display toggles in the following
si?qwn~e: Q!km&r - Trip Qdnm~t~r .A. - Trip n&m@er
B - Engine Oil Life. If the engine oil life is left on the
display, it will automatically toggle back to the odometer
after approximately
15 seconds. Each of the two trip
odometers can be used to keep track of different
trip distances (for example, the mileage of
a long trip
and the mileage diiileii oi-i the cui-i-ei-it tank of fuel).
3-4 1

The trip odometers will continue to keep track of
miles (kilometers) driven even
if they are not currently
displayed. To reset the odometer to zero
(0), press
and hold the tripheset button for at least
1.5 seconds,
but less than three seconds. Only the trip odometer that
is showing in the display will be reset.
Retro-Active Reset
Each of the two trip odometers has a feature callea
retro-active reset. This feature can be used to set
either (or both) trip odometer(s) to the number of miles
(kilometers) driven since the ignition was last turned
on. This can be used
if you forget to reset your
trip odometer at the beginning of a trip. To use the
retro-active reset feature, press and hold the tripheset
button for at least three seconds. The trip odometer
will then display the number of miles (kilometers) driven
since the ignition was last turned on and you began
driving. (If you use the retro-active reset feature
after you have started the vehicle, but before you begin
moving, the display will show the number of miles
(kilometers) you drove during the last ignition cycle.) Once you
begin driving, the trip odometer will
accumulate mileage. For example,
if you have driven
5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you started your vehicle,
and then activate the retro-active reset feature, the
display will show
5.0 miles (8.0 km). As you drive,
the display will then increase to
5.1 miles (8.2 km),
5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc. Only the trip odometer that is
displayed will be affected by the retro-active reset
so that both trip odometers can be used separately.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for several seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts.
The safety belt light will also come on and stay
on for several seconds.
If the driver’s belt is
already buckled, neither
the chime nor the light
will come on.

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
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.
I
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
clearance to the body and chassis.
See
Changing a Flat Tire on page 5-70 for more
information.
Used Replacement WI els
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used
or how far it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause a crash. If you have to replace a
wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
Notice: Use tire chains only where legal and only
when you must. Use only SAE Class
“S” type chains
that are the proper size for your tires. Install them
on the front tires and tighten them as tightly
as possible with the ends securely fastened.
Drive slowly and follow the chain manufacturer’s
your vehicle, stop and retighten them. If the contact continues, slow down until
it stops. Driving too
fast or spinning the wheels with chains on will
damage your vehicle.
