Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of
your vehicle’s radio. It works by using a secret
code to disable all radio functions whenever
battery power is removed and the radio is placed
in a different vehicle. This feature requires no
user input to be activated. The radio is
automatically armed when it is put into the vehicle
for the rst time.
When the ignition is turned off, the blinking red
light indicates that THEFTLOCK
®is armed.
If THEFTLOCK
®is activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen. The radio will display LOCKED
and a red LED indicator light will come on
above the key symbol to indicate a locked
condition. If this occurs, the radio will need to be
returned to your GM dealer.
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
If your vehicle has this feature, some audio
controls can be adjusted at the steering wheel.
They include the following:
SOURCE:When listening to the radio, press this
button to play a cassette tape, CD, or a DVD
(if equipped). If a cassette tape, and CD, and/or
DVD are loaded, the system will go to the
tape play rst. The inactive tape, CD, or DVD will
remain safely inside the player for future
listening.
MUTE:Press this button to silence the system.
Press it again, or any other radio button, to turn the
sound on.

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
In addition, traveling or standing under heavy
foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause
loss of the XM™ signal for a period of time.
The radio may display NO SIGNAL to indicate
interference.
Care of Your CDs and DVDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD does not play properly or not
at all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a
soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in
a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with
water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not
advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens
of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the
CD mechanism.
