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? 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.
(C) OFF:This lets you turn off the engine. Use OFF if
you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine
is off (for example, if your vehicle is being pushed).
(D) RUN: This is the position for driving.
(E) START: This position starts your engine.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The Retained Accessory Power (RAP) feature will allow
certain features on your vehicle to continue to work up
to 20 minutes after the ignition key is turned to OFF,
or a door is opened.
Your radio, power windows, sunroof (if equipped) and
OnStar System (if equipped) will also work when the
ignition key is in RUN or ACCESSORY.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won't start in any other position
-- that's a
safety feature. To restart when you're already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don't try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle
is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to PARK (P) only when
your vehicle is stopped.
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the
ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets warm.

subject to limitations caused by atmospheric
conditions, such as severe weather or topographical
conditions, such as mountainous terrain;

subject to cellular carrier equipment limitations.
Global positioning capabilities used to deliver
OnStar service will not be available if satellite signals
are obstructed.
OnStar will not function if the vehicle's battery is
discharged or disconnected. It may also be inoperative
if the vehicle is in an accident and the OnStar or vehicle
electrical system components are damaged.
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.Sunroof (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a power sliding
sunroof. To open or close your sunroof, the ignition
or RAP needs to be active. See ªRetained Accessory
Powerº in the Index.
Press and release the rear side of the button located in
the front overhead console to express
-open the glass
panel and sunshade. To close the glass panel, press and
hold the front of the button. The glass will not be fully
seated unless the button is held until the glass stops
moving. With the sunroof closed, press the forward side
of the button to open the sunroof to the vent position.

2-62
The sunroof is also equipped with a sunshade which you
can pull forward to block sun rays.
If a hand, arm, or other object is blocking the sunroof
glass panel as it is closing, the glass panel will stop at
the obstruction. After the obstruction is removed,
the glass panel can be closed or opened.
Use care not to leave the sunroof open for long periods
of time as debris may collect in the tracks.
If the battery has been recharged, disconnected or is
not working, you may need to reprogram the sunroof.
To do this, start the vehicle and press the forward side of
the sunroof switch until the glass panel moves to a fully
closed position. Release, and press again to move to the
vent position which occurs when the sunroof is fully
tilted rearward. This will reset the memory and enable
the sunroof to function properly.HomeLink

Pressing the recirculation button will cancel outside air
operation. To return to normal system operation and to
prevent stale passenger compartment air, be sure to
return to the outside air position.
Recirculation will not be available in floor, blend or
defrost modes. This helps reduce window fogging.
If the recirculation button is pressed in theses modes,
the LED indicator for recirculation will flash three times
indicating that forced outside air is activated and
recirculation is not available.
If the air conditioning system is activated and system
demand is high in situations such as city traffic, idling,
or very hot weather, the system will automatically
switch from outside air to recirculation. The LED
indicator will not change. After the demand on the
system is not so great, the system will return to
outside air.
(A/C): Press this button to turn the air
conditioning on and off. The system will cool and
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle when the A/C light
is on. When in AUTO, the A/C is automatically engaged
when necessary.
Air conditioning will be automatically disabled when
the outside temperature drops below a level which air
conditioning is ineffective.
Rear Air Conditioning and Rear Heater
(With Sunroof)
Your vehicle has the rear air conditioning and rear heater
system combination. Controls are provided to regulate
temperature, location and speed of the airflow.
Front Control
To adjust the airflow speed, turn the fan control knob
located on the left side to the desired setting.
To regulate the airflow direction, adjust the right knob on
the control panel. Turn the knob clockwise for floor vent
airflow or counterclockwise for headliner vent airflow.
Generally, the upper vents are used for air conditioning
and the floor vents for heating. The knob can be set to
any blend setting.
To adjust the air temperature, turn the temperature knob
on the center of the control panel.
For warmer air, turn the knob clockwise toward red. For
cooler air, turn the knob counterclockwise toward blue.

3-6 Rear Air Conditioning and Heating Systems

(Without Sunroof)
Front Control
Rear Control
With this system the rear passengers can control the air
temperature, air flow and air speed. The climate control
has three knobs.To adjust the airflow speed, turn the fan knob located on
the left side of the control panel to the desired setting.
The system can be controlled from the front controls as
well as the rear controls. Choosing AUTO from the front
will control the rear settings. Choosing OFF from the
front control will also turn off the rear climate control.
When the front control is set to REAR, the rear controls
can be used by rear seat passengers.
To adjust the air temperature on either control panel,
turn the temperature knob on the center of the control
panel. For warmer air, turn the knob clockwise
toward 82. Turn the knob counterclockwise toward 66
for cooler air.
To regulate the airflow direction, adjust the right knob
on the control panel. Turn the knob clockwise for floor
vent airflow or counterclockwise for headliner vent
airflow. Generally, the upper vents are used for air
conditioning and the floor vents for heating. The knob
can be set to any blend setting.
