be adjusted at the steering wheel. They include the
following:
QSEEKR:Press the up or the down arrow to go to
the next or to the previous radio station and stay
there. The radio will only seek stations with a strong
signal that are in the selected band.
Press and hold either arrow for three seconds to scan
radio stations. The radio will go to a station, play
for a few seconds, then go on to the next station. Press
this button again to stop scanning stations. The radio
will only scan stations with a strong signal that are in the
selected band.When a CD is playing, press the up or the down arrow
to fast forward or reverse.
SEEK TYPE:Press this button to go to a station with
the last selected PTY and the last selected PTY
will appear on the display, if it is not already showing. If
a station with the selected PTY is not found, the
radio will return to the original station. If both PTY and
TRAF are on, the radio will search for stations with
the selected PTY and traffic announcements.
PRESET:Press this button to play stations that are
programmed on the radio preset pushbuttons.
MODE:Press this button to switch between FM1, FM2,
AM, or XM1 or XM2 (if equipped).

radio. The inactive CD will remain safely inside the
radio for future listening.

Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your
vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality
GM brake parts. When you replace parts of your braking
system — for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you need new ones put in — be sure you get
new approved GM replacement parts. If you do not,
your brakes may no longer work properly. For example,
if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for
your vehicle, the balance between your front and rear
brakes can change — for the worse. The braking
performance you have come to expect can change in
many other ways if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.
Battery
Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelco®battery. When it is time for a new battery, get
one that has the replacement number shown on the
original battery’s label. We recommend an ACDelco
®
battery.
Warning:Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Vehicle Storage
If you are not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, remove the black, negative (−) cable from the
battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
{CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and
gas that can explode. You can be badly hurt if
you are not careful. SeeJump Starting on
page 5-43for tips on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your
vehicle for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, seeTheft-Deterrent
Feature (Non-RDS Radios) on page 3-116or
