Automatic Operation
AUTO9(Automatic Fan):When this position is
selected on the fan control, the system will adjust the fan
speed. If the OnStar
®system is activated when this
position is selected, the climate control fan speed
will lower.
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1. Turn the fan control to the AUTO position.
2. Turn the mode control to the AUTO position.
3. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting
between 68°F (21°C) and 78°F (26°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any
faster. In cold weather, the system will start at
reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into
your vehicle until warmer air is available. The
system will start out blowing air at the oor but may
change modes automatically as the vehicle
warms up to maintain the chosen temperature
setting. The length of time needed to warm
the interior will depend on the outside temperature
and temperature of the vehicle.
4. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the system to stabilize in
order for the system to regulate automatically. Then
adjust the temperature as necessary to nd your
comfort setting.Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of
the instrument panel near the windshield. For more
information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in
this section.
After your vehicle is started, the display will show the
interior temperature settings and the outside
temperature.
If the AUTO position is selected on the fan or mode
control, the system will automatically control the
air conditioning compressor. The A/C compressor will
run automatically even at cool outside temperatures
in order to dehumidify the air. The A/C indicator light
will be lit when the system is operating automatically,
even at near freezing outside temperatures. Press
the A/C button on the fan control to turn off the A/C.
For improved window clearing performance in defog
or defrost modes, the A/C compressor will run
automatically in damp cool conditions.

The CD player is able to read and play a maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les. You can change
playlists by using the previous and next folder buttons,
the tuner knob, or the seek buttons. Long le names,
folder names, or playlist names may use more disc
memory space than necessary. To conserve space on
the disc, minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. You can also play an MP3 CD-R that was
recorded using no le folders. The system can support up
to 8 folders in depth, however, keep the total number of
folders to a minimum in order to reduce the complexity
and confusion in trying to locate a particular folder during
playback. If a CD-R contains more than the maximum of
50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les, the player will let
you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all
items over the maximum will be ignored.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a folder. If the
root directory has compressed audio les, the directory
will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All les contained directly
under the root directory will be accessed prior to any root
directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always be
accessed before root folders or les.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the
le structure that contains only folders/subfolders and
no compressed les directly beneath them, the player
will advance to the next folder in the le structure that
contains compressed audio les and the empty folder
will not be displayed or numbered.
No Folder
When the CD-R contains only compressed les, the
les will be located under the root folder. The next and
previous folder functions will not be displayed on a
CD-R that was recorded without folders or playlists.
When displaying the name of the folder the radio
will display ROOT.
When the CD-R contains only playlists and compressed
audio les, but no folders, all les will be located under
the root folder. The folder down and the folder up buttons
will search playlists (Px) rst and then go to the root
folder. When the radio displays the name of the folder
the radio will display ROOT.

Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is
a national tragedy. It is the number one contributor
to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims
every year.
Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive
a vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Attentiveness
Police records show that almost half of all motor
vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases,
these deaths are the result of someone who was
drinking and driving. In recent years, more than
16,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been
associated with the use of alcohol, with more than
300,000 people injured.Many adults — by some estimates, nearly half the adult
population — choose never to drink alcohol, so they
never drive after drinking. For persons under 21,
it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol.
There are good medical, psychological, and
developmental reasons for these laws.
The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway
safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and
then drive. But what if people do? How much is “too
much” if someone plans to drive? It is a lot less
than many might think. Although it depends on each
person and situation, here is some general information
on the problem.
The Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of someone
who is drinking depends upon four things:
The amount of alcohol consumed
The drinker’s body weight
The amount of food that is consumed before and
during drinking
The length of time it has taken the drinker to
consume the alcohol
