Cargo Tie Downs
There are four cargo tie
downs in the rear of the
vehicle that allow you to
strap cargo in and keep it
from moving.
Luggage Carrier
CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier
-- like paneling, plywood, a mattress, and
so forth
-- the wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose control. What
you are carrying could be violently torn off, and
this could cause you or other drivers to have a
collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You
may be able to carry something like this inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider than
the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has slats, side rails and crossrails
attached to the roof to secure cargo. The adjustable tie
downs, at either end of the crossrails, should be used to
secure loads to the luggage carrier.

2-52
Use GM accessory racks that are compatible with
your luggage carrier for transporting sports equipment.
These are available through your GM dealer.
You can adjust the crossrails to handle loads of various
sizes. Just loosen the slider knobs at each end of the
crossrail and move them to where you want them.
Make sure both sides of the crossrails are even, then
tighten the slider knobs.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded. Follow
these guidelines:

Carrying small, heavy loads on the roof is
not recommended.

Tie the load to the tie down (at either end of the
crossrails). When loading cargo directly on the
roof panel, use the crossrails to keep the load
from shifting.

If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as possible. Tie the load to the tie downs
provided. Also tie the load to the bumpers. Do not
tie the load so tightly that the crossrails or side rails
are damaged.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than 200 lbs.
(91 kg) on the luggage carrier may damage your
vehicle. When you carry large things, never let
them hang over the rear or the sides of your
vehicle. When loading cargo on the roof panel,
be sure it rests on the slats and does not scratch
or damage the vehicle.
Put the cargo against the side rails and fasten
it securely to the luggage carrier. Put the main
weight as far forward as you can and move the
rear crossrail forward as far as possible to keep
the load from shifting.
Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when loading
your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity and
loading, see ªLoading Your Vehicleº in the Index.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're driving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage carrier and
cargo are still securely fastened.

Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
The ashtray is located in the center floor console, in front
of the shift lever. Flip the cover to expose the ashtray.
NOTICE:
Don't put papers and other things that burn
into your ashtray. If you do, cigarettes or other
smoking materials could set them on fire,
causing damage.
To remove the front ashtray, pull the bin upward.
The lighter is located in the instrument panel below
the climate controls. To use the lighter, press it in all
the way, and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back
by itself.
NOTICE:
Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overload, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.
There may be a smaller ashtray in the rear of the center
floor console.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can swing the sun visor down.
You can also swing the visor from side
-to-side.
Illuminated Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull the sun visor down and lift the mirror cover to turn
on the lamps.

Accessory Inflator
Your vehicle is equipped with an air inflator system.
With it, you can inflate things like air mattresses and
basketballs, and you can also use it to bring your tires up
to the proper pressure.
The air inflator is located
in the rear compartment on
the passenger's side of the
vehicle. To remove the
cover, pull the tab on the
cover and pull it off.
The air inflator kit includes a 18
-foot (5.5 m) hose with
three nozzle adapters.
CAUTION:
Inflating something too much can make it
explode, and you or others could be injured. Be
sure to read the inflator instructions, and inflate
any object only to its recommended pressure.
To use your air inflator, attach the appropriate nozzle
adapter, if required, to the end of the hose.
Then attach that end of
the hose to the object you
wish to inflate. Remove the
protective cap covering the
outlet. Attach the other end
of the hose to the outlet.
Press the ON switch.
ProCarManuals.com

2-55
If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don't run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes
at one time. If you do, you may damage the system.
After 30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before
restarting the air inflator.
To turn off the air inflator, press OFF and detach the
hose, first from the inflated object, then from the outlet.
Replace the protective cap. Place the inflator kit tools in
the pouch and store it properly.
To replace the cover, line up the tabs at the back of the
cover and put it in place.
Accessory Power Outlets
With the accessory power outlets, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment. There are four accessory
power outlets located throughout the vehicle. Two are
near the lower center part of the instrument panel,
one is located in the lower rear of the center console
and the other is located in the rear of the vehicle in the
air inflator compartment. Follow the proper installation
instructions that are included with any electrical
equipment you install.These circuits are protected by a fuse and have maximum
current levels.
NOTICE:
When using the accessory power outlets, maximum
electrical load must not exceed 20 amps. Always
turn off any electrical equipment when not in use.
Leaving electrical equipment on for extended
periods will drain your battery.
Cellular Telephone (Option)
Your vehicle has been prewired for dealer installation
of a dual
-mode (analog/digital) cellular telephone.
A fixed mobile or a portable hand
-held system is
available. Voice activation and hands
-free operation
are standard features. For more information, contact
your GMC dealer. A user's guide is provided with

2-58 Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the ªstop and reverseº
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold
down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink
Transmitter until the indicator light begins to flash
rapidly (after 20 seconds). Then release the buttons.
This procedure initializes the memory and erases any
previous settings for all three channels.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Hold the end of the hand
-held transmitter
about 2 to 5 inches (5 to 13 cm) away from the
surface of the HomeLink Transmitter so that you can
still see the indicator light.3. Using both hands, press the hand
-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the HomeLink
Transmitter. Continue to press both buttons
through Step 4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red
light on the HomeLink Transmitter flash rapidly.
The rapid flashing indicates that the HomeLink
Transmitter has been programmed. Release both
buttons once the light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink
Transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in
the hand
-held transmitter is not dead. If you still cannot
program it, rotate the hand
-held transmitter end over end
and try again. The HomeLink Transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, refer to
ªTraining a Garage Door Opener with Rolling Codesº
later in this section or contact the manufacturer of the
unit at 1
-800-355-3515.
Be sure to keep the original hand
-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
HomeLink Transmitter.
