Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage
door opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power
to these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
(24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Night Vision System
The optional Night Vision System can help you see better
when you drive at night. The system works by sensing
heat given off by objects in its eld of view. Warmer
objects, such as pedestrians, animals and other moving
vehicles, will appear whiter. Colder objects, such as the
sky, signs and parked vehicles, will appear darker.Use this system as an aid to help you in seeing objects
beyond the headlamps. Do this by occasionally
glancing at the image as you would a rearview mirror.
Do not stare at the image.

Playing a CD
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in. If the ignition and the radio are on
and the underlined CD symbol appears on the
display, the CD will begin playing. A CD may be loaded
with the radio off but it will not start playing until the
radio is on. If you want to insert a CD when the ignition
is off, rst press the eject button.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD in the
player it will stay in the player. When you turn on the
ignition or radio, the CD will start to play where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number will
appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 8cm single CDs
with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs
are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. You may experience an
increase in skipping, difficulty in nding tracks, and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
try a known good CD.Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught
in the CD player.
Do not play 3-inch CDs without a standard adapter CD.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD Messages”
later in this section.
{RW (Rewind):Press and hold the left arrow to
reverse the CD. Release it to return to playing speed.
FF
|(Fast Forward):Press and hold the right arrow
to fast forward to another part of the CD. Release it
to return to playing speed.
¦TUNE SEEK¥:Press the up or the down arrow to
seek to the next or to the previous track.
1–6:Press this button to go to the next CD loaded in
the Glovebox-Mounted CD Changer. See
Glovebox-Mounted CD Changer on page 3-110for more
information.
RDM (Random):Press this pushbutton to listen to the
tracks in random, rather than sequential, order. RDM
will appear on the display. Press RDM to turn off random
play. RDM will disappear from the display.

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have an AM-FM navigation radio
system that includes Digital Signal Processing (DSP), a
Radio Data System (RDS) with Program Type (PTY)
selections that will seek out the kind of music you want
to listen to. The radio can also communicate with
the navigation system to broadcast announcements on
traffic, weather, and emergency alert communications.
For information on how to use this system, see the
“Navigation System” manual.
Glovebox-Mounted CD Changer
With the CD changer, you can play up to six CDs
continuously. Normal size CDs may be played using the
trays supplied in the magazine. The smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
CDs can be played only with specially designed trays.
You must rst load the magazine with CDs before you
can play a CD. Each of the six trays holds one CD. Load
the trays from bottom to top, placing a CD in the tray
label side up. If you load a CD label side down, the CD
will not play and an error will occur. Repeat this
procedure for loading up to 6 CDs in the magazine.

Maintenance Footnotes
†The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to
the completion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the
maintenance be recorded.
(a)Visually inspect brake lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, cha ng, etc. Inspect
disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface
condition. Inspect other brake parts, including calipers,
parking brake, etc.
(b)Visually inspect front and rear suspension and
steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts or
signs of wear. Inspect power steering lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
cha ng, etc.
(c)Visually inspect hoses and have them replaced if they
are cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
ttings and clamps; replace with genuine GM parts as
needed. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test
of the cooling system and pressure cap and cleaning the
outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is
recommended at least once a year.(d)Visually inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking.
Replace blade inserts that appear worn or damaged
or that streak or miss areas of the windshield.
(e)Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages
are working properly. Look for any other loose or
damaged safety belt system parts. If you see anything
that might keep a safety belt system from doing its
job, have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts
replaced. Also look for any opened or broken air bag
coverings, and have them repaired or replaced. (The air
bag system does not need regular maintenance.)
(f)Lubricate all key lock cylinders. Lubricate all hinges
and latches, including those for the hood, rear
compartment, glove box door and console door. More
frequent lubrication may be required when exposed to a
corrosive environment. Applying silicone grease on
weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them
last longer, seal better and not stick or squeak.
(g)If you drive regularly under dusty conditions, the
lter may require replacement more often.
