2-66Rear Reading Lamps
There are two reading lamps in the third row headliner,
above the outboard seating positions. If your vehicle
does not have dual sliding doors, there is also a reading
lamp in the second row on the driver's side.
To turn on either reading lamp, press the lamp lens.
Dome Lamp
This lamp is located in the center of your vehicle and
has no switch of its own. It will go on each time you
open the doors, unless you enable the interior lights
override feature.
Cargo Lamp
This lamp is located in the rear of your vehicle, above
the liftgate opening, and has no switch of its own. It will
go on each time you open the doors, unless you enable
the interior lights override.
Battery Saver
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:

Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY,

turn the interior lamps dial all the way clockwise,
then slightly back counterclockwise; or

open (or close and reopen) a door that is closed.
NOTE: 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
Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from lights behind you, pull the lever
toward you (to the night position). To return the mirror
to the day position, push the lever away from you.

Speedometer and Tamper
Resistant 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. If you see
silver lines between the numbers, you'll know that
someone has probably tried to turn it back, so the
numbers may not be true.
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.Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set it to zero. To set it to zero,
push the reset button which is located above and to the
right of the temperature gage.

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 clearance to the body and chassis.
See ªChanging a Flat Tireº in the Index for
more information.
Used Replacement Wheels
CAUTION:
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 an accident. If you have to replace a
wheel, use a new GM original equipment wheel.
