Section 2 Features and Controls

Sunroof
The vehicle may be equipped with a power sliding
sunroof. To open or close your sunroof, the ignition
must be on or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) must
be active. SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 2-23for more information.
The sunroof control is
located on the overhead
console. Press the rear
of the control to open the
sunroof to the vent position,
then press the rear of
the control again to
express-open the sunroof.
To close the sunroof, press and hold the front of the
control. The control must be held until the glass stops
moving, so that the sunroof will be fully seated.The sunroof also has a roller sunscreen that can be used
to block the rays of the sun. The roller sunscreen can be
manually operated with the sunroof in an open or closed
position. To open the sunscreen, press up to unlatch it
and roll it back. To close, pull it forward and latch it to the
close position.
If the battery has been recharged, disconnected, or not
working, the sunroof may need to be reprogrammed. To
do this, start the vehicle and press forward on the sunroof
control until it moves to a fully closed position. This resets
the sunroof memory, enabling the sunroof to function
properly.
Vehicle Personalization
In addition to the following features, your vehicle may
also have features that can be programmed through
the Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-64for more information.

XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice
build up for clear radio reception.
If your vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the
XM™ system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle can interfere
with the performance of the XM™ system. Make sure
the XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is not obstructed.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is used to adjust the vehicle’s chime level.
To change the volume level of the chime, press and hold
pushbutton 6 with the ignition on and the radio power off.
The volume level will change from the normal level to
loud, and LOUD will appear on the radio display. To
change back to the default or normal setting, press and
hold pushbutton 6 again. The volume level will change
from the loud level to normal, and NORMAL will appear
on the radio display. Each time the chime volume is
changed, three chimes will sound as an example of the
new volume selected. Removing the radio and not
replacing it with a factory radio or chime module will
disable vehicle chimes.
