Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video
screen. The RCA jacks allow audio and video
signals to be connected from an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit to
the RSE system. Standard RCA cables, not
included, are needed to connect the auxiliary
device to the RCA jacks. The yellow connector
inputs video and the red and white connectors
input right and left audio. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper connection
of the auxiliary device.
To use the auxiliary inputs on the RSE system,
connect an external auxiliary device to the
color-coded RCA jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the RSE system power on. If the
RSE system had been previously in the DVD
player mode, pressing the SRCE button on
the faceplate or the remote control will switch the
RSE system between the auxiliary device and
the DVD player.

You should look for this information on the oil
container, and use only those oils that are
identied as meeting standard GM6094M and
have the starburst symbol on the front of the oil
container.
Notice:Use only engine oil identied as
meeting standard GM6094M and showing the
American Petroleum Institute Certied For
Gasoline Engines starburst symbol. Failure to
use the recommended oil can result in
engine damage not covered by your warranty.
If you are in an area of extreme cold, where
the temperature falls below−20°F (−29°C), it is
recommended that you use either an SAE 5W-30
synthetic oil or an SAE 0W-30 oil. Both will
provide easier cold starting and better protection
for the engine at extremely low temperatures.Engine Oil Additives
Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended
oils with the starburst symbol that meet standard
GM6094M are all you will need for good
performance and engine protection.
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
Your vehicle has a computer system that lets you
know when to change the engine oil and lter.
This is based on engine revolutions and engine
temperature, and not on mileage. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil change
will be indicated can vary considerably. For the oil
life system to work properly, you must reset the
system every time the oil is changed.
337
ProCarManuals.com

When the system has calculated that oil life has
been diminished, it will indicate that an oil change
is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL message
will come on in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 199. Change the oil as soon as
possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km).
It is possible that, if you are driving under the best
conditions, the oil life system may not indicate
that an oil change is necessary for over a
year. However, the engine oil and lter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the
system must be reset. Your dealer has trained
service people who will perform this work and reset
the system. It is also important to check the oil
regularly and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must
change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
since the last oil change. Remember to reset the
oil life system whenever the oil is changed.How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and lter based on vehicle
use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the
system so it can calculate when the next oil
change is required. If a situation occurs where you
change your oil prior to a CHANGE ENGINE
OIL message being turned on, reset the system.
To reset the Engine Oil Life System, do the
following:
1. Use the fuel button on the Driver Information
Center to reach the ENGINE OIL LIFE screen.
2. Press and hold the select button on the
Driver Information Center ve seconds
while ENGINE OIL LIFE is displayed.
3. OIL LIFE RESET will appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display for
10 seconds to let you know the system
is reset.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes
back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil
life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.

Headlamp Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset at the factory
and should need no further adjustment.
However, if your vehicle is damaged in an
accident, the headlamp aim may be affected.
Aim adjustment to the low-beam headlamps may
be necessary if it is difficult to see the lane
markers (for horizontal aim), or if oncoming drivers
ash their high-beam headlamps at you (for
vertical aim).
If you believe your headlamps need to be
re-aimed, it is recommend that you take the
vehicle to your dealer for service.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulbs, see
Replacement Bulbs on page 376.
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this
section, contact your dealer.
High Intensity Discharge (HID)
Lighting
{CAUTION:
The low beam high intensity discharge
lighting system operates at a very high
voltage. If you try to service any of the
system components, you could be
seriously injured. Have your dealer or a
qualied technician service them.
Your vehicle has HID headlamps. After your
vehicle’s HID headlamp bulb has been replaced,
you may notice that the beam is a slightly different
shade than it was originally. This is normal.

Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your
tires as soon as possible and check wheel
alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels.
SeeWhen It Is Time for New Tires on page 397
andWheel Replacement on page 402for more
information.
Make sure the spare tire is stored securely.
Push, pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire.
If it moves, use the wheel wrench to tighten
the cable. For information on storing or removing
the spare tire, seeChanging a Flat Tire on
page 406.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve
more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle.
The rst rotation is the most important.
SeeScheduled Maintenance on page 450.When rotating your tires, always use the correct
rotation pattern shown here.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front
and rear ination pressures as shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. SeeLoading
Your Vehicle on page 296, for an example of
the label and its location on your vehicle.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors will need to be reset after a tire rotation.
See “TPMS Sensor Identication Codes” under
Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 391.

The proper replacement parts, uids, and
lubricants to use are listed inRecommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 458andNormal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 460.
When your vehicle is serviced, make sure these
are used. All parts should be replaced and all
necessary repairs done before you or anyone
else drives the vehicle.
Scheduled Maintenance
When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL DIC message
comes on, it means that service is required for your
vehicle. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 199. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is
possible that, if you are driving under the best
conditions, the engine oil life system may not
indicate that vehicle service is necessary for over a
year. However, your engine oil and lter must be
changed at least once a year and at this time the
system must be reset. Your dealer has trained
service technicians who will perform this work
using genuine parts and reset the system.
If the engine oil life system is ever reset
accidentally, you must service your vehicle within
3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last service.Remember to reset the oil life system whenever
the oil is changed. SeeEngine Oil Life System on
page 337for information on the Engine Oil Life
System and resetting the system.
When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL DIC message
appears, certain services, checks, and inspections
are required. Required services are described
in the following for “MaintenanceI” and
“MaintenanceII.” Generally, it is recommended
that your rst service be MaintenanceI, your
second service be MaintenanceII, and that you
alternate MaintenanceIand MaintenanceII
thereafter. However, in some cases,
MaintenanceIImay be required more often.
MaintenanceI— Use MaintenanceIif the
message comes on within 10 months since the
vehicle was purchased or MaintenanceII
was performed.
MaintenanceII— Use MaintenanceIIif the
previous service performed was MaintenanceI.
Always use MaintenanceIIwhenever the message
comes on 10 months or more since the last
service or if the message has not come on
at all for one year.
