Front Seats
Power Seats
The power seat controls
are located on the
outboard sides of the front
seat cushions.
•Move the front of the seat control up or down to
adjust the front portion of the cushion.
•Move the rear of the seat control up or down to
adjust the rear portion of the cushion.
•Lift up or push down on the center of the seat
control to move the entire seat up or down.
•Slide the seat control forward or rearward to move
the seat forward or rearward.
Power Lumbar
If your vehicle has this
feature, the control is
located on the outboard
sides of the front seats.
Use the power seat controls first to get the proper
position, then continue with the lumbar adjustment.
Press the lumbar control forward to increase support
and rearward to decrease support. Press the control up
or down to raise or lower the support mechanism.
Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as
it may during long trips, so should the position of
your lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.

Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will
also be capable of performing the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will allow the passenger’s side
mirror to tilt to a factory programmed position when the
vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be
useful in allowing you to view the curb when you are
parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five-second delay has occurred, the passenger’s
side mirror will return to its original position.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror switch may be used.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-63for more information.
Outside Convex Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s
surface is curved so you can see more from the driver’s
seat. This mirror does not have a dimming feature.
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog or
ice. SeeDual Climate Control System on page 3-28
for more information.

Outlet Adjustment
Use the levers located in the center of each outlet to
change the direction of the airflow. Use the thumbwheels
to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips
•
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the flow of air into your vehicle.
•Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
•Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more
effectively.
•If the airflow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment
air filter may need to be replaced. For more
information, seePassenger Compartment Air Filter
on page 3-35andScheduled Maintenance on
page 6-4.
3-33

Rear Climate Control System
Your vehicle has a rear climate-control system that
allows the rear-seat passengers to adjust the direction
of the airflow and the fan speed for the rear seating
area. This system also works with the main
climate-control system in your vehicle.
The control panel for this system is located on the back
of the center console.
OFF:Turn the mode knob located on the rear climate
control panel to this position to turn off the airflow.
If the passenger’s temperature knob located on the main
climate control panel is off, the rear climate control
system will be turned off and the settings selected for
the main climate control panel will also be selected
for the rear seat passengers.For more information on how to use the climate control
system, seeDual Climate Control System on
page 3-28. For more information on the air outlets, see
Outlet Adjustment on page 3-33.
Operation
Mode Knob:Turn the knob to direct the airflow in the
rear-seating area.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
G(Vent):This mode directs air to the upper outlets,
with some air directed to the floor outlets.
+(Bi-Level):This mode directs half the air to the
upper outlets, and then directs the remaining air to the
floor outlets.
8(Floor):This mode directs the air to the floor
outlets.
9(Fan):Slide this lever to the left or right, between
LO and HI, to decrease or increase the fan speed.
Be sure to keep the area under the front seats clear of
any objects so that the air inside of your vehicle can
circulate effectively. Rear Climate Control Panel

The vehicle should be properly prepared as follows:
•The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps are
25 ft. (7.6 m) from a light colored wall or other flat
surface.
•The vehicle must have all four tires on a perfectly
level surface which is level all the way to the wall
or other flat surface.
•The vehicle should be placed so it is perpendicular
to the wall or other flat surface.
•The vehicle should not have any snow, ice or mud
attached to it.
•The vehicle should be fully assembled and all other
work stopped while headlamp aiming is being done.
•The vehicle should be normally loaded with a
full tank of fuel and one person or 160 lbs (75 kg) on
the driver’s seat.
•Tires should be properly inflated.
•Start the vehicle and rock it to level the suspension.
Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle low beam
lamps. The high beam lamps will be correctly aimed if
the low beam lamps are aimed properly.The headlamp aiming devices are under the hood near
the headlamps.
If you believe your headlamps need horizontal (left/right)
adjustment, follow the horizontal aiming procedure. If
you believe your headlamps need only vertical
(up/down) adjustment, follow only the vertical aiming
procedure.
Adjustment screws can be turned with an E8 Torx
®
socket or T15 Torx screwdriver.
