Tilt  Wheel  (Option) 
A tilt steering  wheel  allows you to adjust  the  steering 
wheel  before 
you drive.  You can also raise  it to the 
highest  level  to give  your  legs more  room  when  you 
enter and exit  the  vehicle. 
To tilt the  wheel,  hold  the  steering wheel  and  pull  the 
lever.  Move  the steering  wheel  to a comfortable  level, 
then  release  the  lever 
to lock the  wheel in place.

Turn  Signal  and  Lane  Change  Signals 
The turn  signal  has  two upward  (for right)  and two 
downward (for left) positions.  These positions  allow 
you to signal  a turn  or a lane change. 
To signal  a turn,  move  the lever all the  way  up 
or  down.  When the  turn  is finished,  the lever 
will  return  automatically. 
&I An  arrow on  the instrument 
II 
panel  will  flash in  the 
direction 
of the  turn  or 
lane  change. 
I I 
To signal  a lane change,  just raise  or lower the lever 
until  the  arrow starts to  flash.  Hold it there 
until you 
complete  your lane change.  The lever  will  return  by 
itself  when  you  release it.  As  you  signal 
a turn  or a 
lane change, if the arrows  flash 
at twice the  normal  rate, a signal  bulb may be  burned 
out  and  other drivers  may  not see your  turn  signal. 
If  a bulb  is  burned  out, replace 
it to help avoid an 
accident.  If the  arrows  don’t 
go on  at  all  when  you 
signal a  turn,  check  for burned-out  bulbs  and  a blown 
fuse  (see  “Fuses  and  Circuit  Breakers” 
in the Index). 
Headlamp  High/Low  Beam  Changer 
To change the headlamps  from  low  beam to high  or high 
to low,  pull  the  multifunction  lever  all the way  toward 
you. Then  release it. 
When  the  high  beams  are 
on, this  light  on the 
instrument  panel also will 
be 
on.

Exterior Lamps 
Your parking  lamp/headlamp  switch  is  on the driver’s 
side 
of your  instrument  panel. 
Your  instrument  panel dimmer  thumbwheel  has  two 
detent  positions. 
When  the  thumbwheel  is  moved  to  full brilliance,  and 
then  into the  first  detent  position,  the  radio  display  and 
PRNDL  display 
will go to the day  mode  (full  intensity). 
This  is  known  as  “parade”  mode. The rest 
of the UP 
illumination 
will stay  in the maximum  dimming state 
(full brilliance  dimming).  Moving the  thumbwheel  up one 
more  detent  will  activate  the interior  dome light 
circuit  (with  slightly  higher  effort). 
The  dome  lights cannot  be turned 
on by  depressing  the 
dome  light  switch  button  located  below  the  parking 
lampheadlamp  knob. This switch  is a dome  lamp off 
switch  and  will 
only interrupt  inputs  from  the  door  jamb 
switches  inhibiting  interior  light  operation  when 
depressed.  It  will  not  inhibit 
the light function  from the 
I/P dimmer switch, 
The  delayed  entry  feature will  allow 
you to enter or exit 
your  vehicle  with  the  lights  staying on  for about 
20 seconds,  after  the  door  is  closed or  ignition  is  cycled. 
Rotate  the  knob  to the  right  to the parking  lamp symbol 
to turn on: 
0 Parking  Lamps 
0 Sidemarker  Lamps 
Taillamps 
License Plate  Lamps 
0 Instrument  Panel  Lights 
0 Ashtray  Lamp 
Rotate  the  knob 
to the right  again to the  master  lighting 
symbol  to turn  on all  the  lamps  listed  above as well  as 
the  headlamps.

Rotate the knob  to the left to OFF to  turn  off  your lamps 
and  lights. 
Rotate  the thumbwheel  next to the  switch  knob up to 
adjust instrument panel lights. Rotate  the thumbwheel 
up  to the first  notch to return  the radio display  and 
gearshift  indicator  Vacuum Fluorescence (VF) display 
to full  intensity  when  the headlamps or parking  lamps 
are  on. 
Rotate the thumbwheel  up to the  second  notch 
to 
activate the  interior dome lamps. 
You  can switch  your headlamps from  high 
to low  beam 
by  pulling on  the  turn signal/high  beam  lever. 
A circuit breaker  protects your headlamps.  If you  have 
an electrical overload,  your  headlamps  will flicker on 
and  off.  Have your headlamp  wiring checked  right  away 
if this happens. 
Headlamps  On Reminder 
A tone  will  sound when your headlamps  are turned on 
and  your  ignition  is  in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY.  If 
you need  to use  your  headlamps  when  the ignition 
switch 
is in OFF, LOCK or  ACCESSORY,  the tone  can 
be  turned 
off by  turning  the thumbwheel  next to the 
parking  lamp/headlamp  switch  all the way  down. 
Daytime Running Lamps 
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for 
others  to see the front 
of your vehicle during the  day. 
DRL  can  be  helpful  in  many  different  driving 
conditions,  but  they  can  be especially  helpful  in  the 
short  periods  after dawn  and  before sunset. 
2-41 
ProCarManuals.com 
     
        
        Page 114 of 388

The DRL system  will  make  your  headlamps come on at 
a  reduced  brightness  when: 
The  ignition  is  on, 
The headlamp  switch  is  off,  and 
The parking  brake  is  released. 
When  the  DRL are 
on, only your  headlamps  will  be  on. 
The  taillamps,  sidemarker  and  other  lamps  won’t  be  on. 
Your  instrument  panel  won’t  be  lit up  either. 
When it  begins 
to get dark,  your DRL  indicator  light  is 
a  reminder 
to turn  your  headlamp  switch on. The  other 
lamps  that  come 
on with  your  headlamps  will  also 
come 
on. 
When  you  turn off the  headlamp switch,  the  regular 
lamps  will go off,  and  your headlamps  will  change to 
the  reduced  brightness  of 
DRL. 
To idle  your  vehicle  with  the engine on and  the DRL off, 
set  the  parking  brake.  The DRL  will  stay  off  until  you 
release  the  parking  brake. 
As with  any  vehicle,  you  should turn on the  regular 
headlamp  system  when  you  need  it. 
Center High-Mounted Stoplamp 
Your vehicle’s  center  high-mounted  stoplamp is  located 
above  the rear doors  at  the center  of  the  vehicle. 
If items  are  loaded  on the roof  of  the  vehicle,  as in a 
luggage  carrier,  care should  be  taken 
not to  block  or 
damage  the center  high-mounted  stoplamp  unit. 
If you tow  a trailer  that is equipped  with  provisions  for  a 
center  high-mounted  stoplamp, see  your 
GM dealer for 
instructions 
on how to make  it operate  with  your 
vehicle’s  electrical  system. 
As with  any  electrical  system 
modification,  have  the  work  performed  by a qualified 
electrical  service  person.
