Liftgate/Liftglass
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas
can come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate or liftglass
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the liftgate or liftglass:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on VENT or OUTSIDE AIR. That will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
To open a mechanical lock system from the outside,
insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise
to unlock the liftgate and liftglass.
The liftglass can be opened using the pushbutton on the
liftgate after the doors have been unlocked. This can be
done by using either the power door locks or the remote
keyless entry system.
To open the entire liftgate, lift the handle located in the
center of the door.
To lock a power lock system from the outside, insert the
key into the lock button and turn it clockwise. All doors
will lock. You may also use the keyless entry system or
the power door locks to lock the liftgate and liftglass.

the OnStar System using either the volume control
knob on the radio or using the steering wheel controls,
if equipped.
Telltale Light: This light will indicate the status of

For example, rear seat passengers may listen to a
cassette tape through headphones while the driver listens
to the radio through the front speakers. The rear seat
passengers have control of the volume for each set of
headphones. Be aware that the front seat audio controls
always have priority over the RSA controls. If the front
seat passengers switch the source for the main radio to a
remote source, the RSA will play the same remote
source. The rear speakers will be muted when the RSA
power is turned on. You may operate the RSA functions
even when the main radio is off.
The following functions are controlled by the buttons on
the main radio:
REAR DSPL: When the main radio is turned on, press
this button to turn on the RSA display on the main radio.
Press it again to turn the RSA display off.
PR: Press this button to turn RSA on or off. The light
to the right of the button will illuminate to indicate that
RSA is on.
The following functions are controlled by the RSA
system buttons:
PWR: Press this button to turn RSA on or off.AM FM: Press this button to switch between AM, FM1
and FM2. If the front passengers are already listening to
AM FM, the RSA controller will not switch between the
bands and cannot change the frequency.
SEEK : While listening to the radio, press the up
arrow to tune to the next station and stay there. Press the
down arrow to tune to the previous station and stay
there. The sound will mute while seeking. The SEEK
button is inactive if the AM FM mode on the front radio
is in use.
While listening to a cassette tape, press the up arrow to
hear the next selection on the tape. Press the down arrow
to go back to the previous selection. The SEEK button is
inactive if the tape mode on the front radio is in use.
While listening to a CD, press the up arrow to hear the
next selection on the CD. Press the down arrow to go
back to the start of the current selection (if more than
eight seconds have played). The SEEK button is inactive
in the CD mode if the CD changer is in use.
Press and hold one of the SEEK arrows until the radio
goes into the scan mode. Scan allows you to listen to
stations for a few seconds. The receiver will continue to
scan and momentarily stop at each station until you press
one of the SEEK arrows again. The scan function is
inactive if the AM FM mode on the front radio is in use.

4-20 Traveling to Remote Areas
It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going
to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your route.
You are much less likely to get bad surprises. Get
accurate maps of trails and terrain. Try to learn of any
blocked or closed roads.
It's also a good idea to travel with at least one other
vehicle. If something happens to one of them, the other
can help quickly.
Getting Familiar with Off-Road Driving
It's a good idea to practice in an area that's safe and
close to home before you go into the wilderness.
Off
-road driving does require some new and different
driving skills. Here's what we mean.
Tune your senses to different kinds of signals. Your
eyes, for example, need to constantly sweep the terrain
for unexpected obstacles. Your ears need to listen for
unusual tire or engine sounds. With your arms, hands,
feet and body, you'll need to respond to vibrations and
vehicle bounce.Controlling your vehicle is the key to successful
off
-road driving. One of the best ways to control your
vehicle is to control your speed. Here are some things to
keep in mind. At higher speeds:

you approach things faster and you have less time to
scan the terrain for obstacles.

you have less time to react.

you have more vehicle bounce when you drive
over obstacles.

you'll need more distance for braking, especially
since you're on an unpaved surface.
CAUTION:
When you're driving off-road, bouncing and
quick changes in direction can easily throw you
out of position. This could cause you to lose
control and crash. So, whether you're driving on
or off the road, you and your passengers should
wear safety belts.
