NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can't
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But turn the key only with your hand.
Using a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none of this works, then your
vehicle needs service.
OFF (I): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the steering
wheel like LOCK. Use OFF if you must have your
vehicle in motion while the engine is off (for example, if
your vehicle is being pushed).
ON (II): This is the position used for driving
your vehicle.START (III): This position starts the engine.
To lock the steering column, remove the key while in
LOCK. Turn the steering wheel until you hear a click.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The radio and the optional cellular phone are the only
accessories on your vehicle that may be used for up to
10 minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF or until a
door is opened.
Power to the door locks is available at all times.
Power to the fuel door and trunk release will be
available for 15 minutes after the ignition is turned
to OFF.
The power window controls and the sunroof (optional)
controls are active until a door is opened
-- there is no
time limit as long as the doors remain closed.

Safety and security services are provided by existing
governmental emergency service providers. OnStar will
use reasonable efforts to contact the appropriate
emergency service provider and request assistance but
cannot promise that they will respond to the call in a
timely manner or at all.
Assist Handles
A handle above each door can be used to assist you
when getting out of your vehicle.
Garment Hooks
For convenience, you will find garment hooks attached
to each assist handle.
Floor Mats
Your vehicle is equipped with rubber-backed front and
rear floor mats. Keep them clean by vacuuming and
using a spot cleaner, if necessary. Do not machine wash.
Sunroof (Option)
The express-open sunroof
can increase ventilation;
it includes a sliding glass
panel and a sliding
sunshade. Power is supplied
to the sunroof when
the ignition key is turned
to ON.
When you stop your vehicle and turn the ignition key to
LOCK, you can still use the sunroof. The electrical
power to operate the sunroof will not shut off until a
door is opened
-- there is no time limit on this feature.
As soon as a door is opened, sunroof movement will
stop immediately. See ªRetained Accessory Powerº in
the Index.

2-62 Anti-Pinch Feature
If a hand, an arm or another object is in the way of the
power sunroof closing, the glass panel will stop at the
obstruction and open it to a preset factory position.
CAUTION:
Pressing and holding the power sunroof control
in the up position will turn off the anti
-pinch
feature. If this happens, the sunroof won't stop if
something gets in the way. You or others could be
injured, and your sunroof could be damaged. Be
careful not to press and hold the power sunroof
control dial in the up position.
Manual Operation
If a failure in the power supply system occurs, the
sunroof can be manually closed by inserting a
screwdriver into the slot as shown. Turning the
screwdriver counterclockwise will close the sunroof.
The screwdriver is provided in the tool kit in the
trunk (with the jack).

2-63
Programming the Sunroof
If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged,
disconnected or is not working, you will need to
reprogram the sunroof following these steps. Refer to
the illustration under ªSunroofº for knob positions.
With your vehicle's ignition on:
1. If the sunroof is closed, turn the knob to
position ªE.º Hold the knob in position for
about five seconds.
If the sunroof is open, turn the knob to E and
hold until the glass panel has closed. Now
continue holding the knob for approximately
five more seconds.
2. Turn the knob to position ªGº and hold until the
sunroof is fully tilted (about three seconds after the
motor has stopped).
3. Now turn the knob to position E and keep holding
until the sunroof is fully closed (about three seconds
after the motor has stopped).4. Turn the knob to positionªAº and hold until the
sunroof is fully open (about three seconds after the
motor has stopped).
5. Turn the knob to position E and keep holding
the knob until the sunroof has fully closed
(about three seconds after the motor has stopped).
The sunroof is now programmed.
If the sunroof keeps opening after you attempt to close
it once it has been programmed, you will need to repeat
Steps 2 through 5 (up to three times if needed).
If you are still having problems, consult your dealer
for service.
Also keep in mind that if something is in the way of the
sunroof closing during programming and you continue
to program the sunroof, the sunroof will only open or
close to the spot where the obstruction occurred. You
will need to reprogram the sunroof again, making sure
that the object has been removed.
