How to Use This Manual
Many people read the owner manual from
beginning to end when they rst receive their new
vehicle. If this is done, it can help you learn
about the features and controls for the vehicle.
Pictures and words work together in the
owner manual to explain things.
Index
A good place to quickly locate information about
the vehicle is the Index in the back of the manual.
It is an alphabetical list of what is in the manual
and the page number where it can be found.
Safety Warnings and Symbols
There are a number of safety cautions in this
book. We use a box and the word CAUTION to
tell about things that could hurt you if you were to
ignore the warning.
{CAUTION:
These mean there is something that could
hurt you or other people.
In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is.
Then we tell you what to do to help avoid or
reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions. If
you do not, you or others could be hurt.
You will also nd a
circle with a slash
through it in this book.
This safety symbol
means “Do Not,” “Do
Not do this” or “Do Not
let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this manual you will nd these notices:
Notice:These mean there is something
that could damage your vehicle.
A notice tells about something that can damage
the vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be
covered by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could
be costly. But the notice will tell what to do to help
avoid the damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors
or in different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle. They
use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
Vehicle Symbols
The vehicle has components and labels that use
symbols instead of text. Symbols are shown along
with the text describing the operation or
information relating to a speci c component,
control, message, gage, or indicator.
If you need help guring out a speci c name of a
component, gage, or indicator, reference the

What Will You See After an Airbag
In ates?
After a frontal airbag in ates, it quickly de ates, so
quickly that some people may not even realize an
airbag in ated. Roof-mounted rollover airbags may
still be at least partially in ated minutes after the
vehicle comes to rest. Some components of the
airbag module — the steering wheel hub for the
driver’s airbag, the instrument panel for the right
front passenger’s airbag, and the area along the
ceiling of the vehicle near the side windows
for vehicles with roof–mounted side impact
airbags — may be hot for a short time. The parts
of the airbag that come into contact with you may
be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be
some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the
de ated airbags. Airbag in ation does not prevent
the driver from seeing out of the windshield or being
able to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
{CAUTION:
When an airbag in ates, there may be
dust in the air. This dust could cause
breathing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other breathing
trouble. To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as it is
safe to do so. If you have breathing
problems but cannot get out of the vehicle
after an airbag in ates, then get fresh air
by opening a window or a door. If you
experience breathing problems following
an airbag deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on, and
ash the hazard warning ashers when the airbags
in ate. You can lock the doors again, turn the
interior lamps off, and turn off the hazard warning
ashers by using the controls for those features.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
two years.
The battery is weak if the transmitter will not work
at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it is probably time to change the battery.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a
KEY FOB # BATTERY LOW message when
the transmitter battery is low. See “KEY FOB #
BATTERY LOW” underDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 199
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry. Static
from your body transferred to these surfaces
may damage the transmitter.To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Remove the screw from the back of the
remote keyless entry cover and gently pry the
transmitter apart.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a
three-volt CR2032 or equivalent battery.
3. Assemble the transmitter and replace the
screw.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter.

Parking Brake
To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake
pedal down with your foot and pull up on the
parking brake lever located between the seats.
If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
on the instrument panel cluster will come on.
SeeBrake System Warning Light on page 183.
To release the parking brake, hold the regular
brake pedal down.Pull the parking brake lever up until you can press
in the button at the end of the lever. Hold the
button in as you move the parking brake lever all
the way down.
Notice:Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to brake system
parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully
released and the brake warning light is
off before driving.
If you are towing a trailer and you must park on a
hill, seeTowing a Trailer on page 305.

Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with a compass.
O(On/Off):This is the on/off button for the
automatic dimming feature and compass.
SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with
OnStar
®and Compass on page 121for information
on mirror operation.
Outside Power Mirror
The outside power
mirror control is located
on the driver’s door.
1. Turn the knob toward the mirror you desire
to adjust.
2. Move the control in the direction you want
the mirror to go.3. Adjust the mirror in all four directions so that
you can see the side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle.
4. After adjusting each mirror, turn the control
to the center position so the mirror cannot
be moved.
If you reach the mirror’s end of the travel position
in any direction, the mirror will enter a ratcheting
mode. This action is harmless. It is a warning that
the mirror can go no further. To stop this action,
back the mirror up by moving the control in
the opposite direction.
Fold the mirror in manually before entering a car
wash. To do this, pull the mirror in toward the
vehicle. Push the mirror back out when nished.
