SETTINGS submenus. See “Entering the Driver
Selection Submenu” and “Entering the Driver Exit
Settings Submenu” later in this section for more
information on recalling and programming the memory
settings using the base audio system.
For vehicles with the Navigation system, memory

the Navigation System manual for more information
on programming and recalling the memory settings using
the Navigation system.
For vehicles with the Navigation system, you can also
recall the memory features by using voice recognition, if
equipped. See “Voice Recognition” in the Index of the
Navigation System manual for more information.

RECALL DRIVER SETTINGS
To recall driver settings, use the following procedure:

not be recalled.
A memory recall can be stopped by pressing any
memory seat or mirror position button.
If you would like the stored driving positions to be
recalled when unlocking your vehicle with the keyless
access transmitter or when starting your vehicle,

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity
(moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This
can be minimized if the climate control system is
used properly. There are two modes to clear fog from
your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers.
Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from
the windshield more quickly.
yNz(Mode):Press this button until defog appears
on the display.
-(Defog):This mode directs the air between the
windshield and oor outlets with some air supplied to the
outboard panel outlets and side window defogging
outlets. When you select this mode, the system turns off
recirculation and runs the air-conditioning compressor
unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
The recirculation mode is cancelled when you enter
defog mode. If you select recirculation while in defog
mode, it will be cancelled after 10 minutes.
If you have fogging on the side windows, remain in
defog or defrost mode until they clear.
0(Defrost):Pressing the defrost button directs most
of the air to the windshield, with some air directed to
the side windows and outboard panel outlets. In
this mode, the system will automatically turn off
recirculation and run the air-conditioning compressor,
unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
Recirculation cannot be selected while in the
defrost mode.
This mode may also cause the fan speed and air
temperature to increase.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in ON or during remote start, if programmed.
See “Personal Settings Menu” underVehicle
Personalization on page 2-47for additional information.
=(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button to
turn the rear window defogger on or off. Be sure to clear
as much snow from the rear window as possible.

SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM
This message will display when there is a problem with
the hood open and closed switches. The switches
may need to be replaced. When this message is
displayed, the theft-deterrent system will still be
protecting the interior of the vehicle, however, the hood
area will not be protected at this time. Also, the
remote start function will not work when this message
appears. See your GM dealer for service.
SERVICE TRANSMISSION
This message will display when there is a problem with
the transmission of your vehicle. Have your vehicle
serviced by your GM dealer.
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
This message will display when a non-emissions related
malfunction occurs. Have your vehicle serviced by
your GM dealer as soon as possible.
SPEED LIMITED TO XXX
This message will display when your vehicle speed is
limited to XXX (mph in English mode and km/h in Metric
mode) because the vehicle detects a problem in the
suspension system. Have your vehicle serviced by your
GM dealer.
STABILITY SYS (System) ACTIVE
The STABILITY SYS ACTIVE message will display
any time StabiliTrak®is actively assisting you with
directional control of the vehicle. Slippery road
conditions may exist when this message is displayed,
so adjust your driving accordingly. This message
may stay on for a few seconds after StabiliTrak
®stops
assisting you with directional control of the vehicle.
SeeStabiliTrak
®System on page 4-10for more
information.
STABILITY SYS (System) NOT READY
The STABILITY SYS NOT READY message will
display if StabiliTrak®is not ready. Two conditions may
cause this message to display.
The rst condition may be that the vehicle needs to be
driven in a straight line for approximately 30-40 ft
(9-12 m) until the sensors are centered. Once the
sensors are centered, the StabiliTrak
®system will be
ready and the STABILITY SYS READY message
will display.
The second condition that may cause this message to
display is when you rst start your vehicle and drive
away during cold winter weather. This is normal.
The system needs to warm up. You can acknowledge
this message by pressing the reset button.

Before you connect the cables, here are some
basic things you should know. Positive (+) will go to
positive (+) or to a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one. Negative (−) will go to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or to a remote
negative (−) terminal if the vehicle has one.
Do not connect positive (+) to negative (−)oryou
will get a short that would damage the battery
and maybe other parts too. And do not connect the
negative (−) cable to the negative (−) terminal on
the dead battery because this can cause sparks.
6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the dead battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to
the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
8. Now connect the black negative (−) cable to the
negative terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote negative (−) terminal if the vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything until the
next step. The other end of the negative (−) cable
does notgo to the dead battery. It goes to a
heavy, unpainted metal engine part or to a remote
negative (−) terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.
9. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable at
least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery,
but not near engine parts that move. The electrical
connection is just as good there, and the chance
of sparks getting back to the battery is much less.
Use a remote negative (−) terminal if the vehicle has
one. Your vehicle’s remote negative (−) ground
location is for this purpose.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If
it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
