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

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.

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and lter based on vehicle
use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system
so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where you change
your oil prior to a CHANGE ENGINE OIL message
being turned on, reset the system.
If your vehicle does not have the optional Driver
Information Center (DIC), do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
slowly three times within ve seconds.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes
back on when you start your vehicle, the engine
oil life system has not reset. Repeat the
procedure.
If your vehicle has the optional DIC, do the
following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, with the engine off.
2. Press the MODE button until the DIC
reads OIL LIFE LEFT/HOLD SET TO RESET.3. Press and hold the SET button until 100% is
displayed.
You will hear three chimes and the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL message will go off.
4. Turn the key to OFF.
If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message comes
back on when you start your vehicle, the engine oil
life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may
be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause
cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very
long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly
dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine
oil. See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use
and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from
the lter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by
putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used
oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of your
used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local
recycling center for help.

To reset the system, do the following:
1. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the MODE button until the DIC reads
LOW TIRE PRESSURE HOLD SET TO
RESET.
3. Press and hold the SET button until you hear
a chime, and TIRE PRESSURE RESET is
displayed.
You will hear three chimes, then the LOW TIRE
PRESSURE message will go off and the DIC
will return to TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL. If the
LOW TIRE PRESSURE message comes back on,
the check tire pressure system has not reset.
Repeat the procedure.
The system completes the calibration process
during driving. The system learns the pressure at
each tire throughout the operating speed range
of your vehicle. The system normally takes
between 30 and 60 minutes of driving to learn
the tire pressures. The system normally takes
10 to 20 minutes of driving in each speed range
to learn tire pressures. The speed ranges are
20 to 40 mph (32 to 64 km/h), 40 to 60 mph
(64 to 96 km/h), and above 60 mph (96 km/h).
This time may be longer depending on yourindividual driving habits. The learning process
does not need to be completed during a single trip.
Once learned, the system will remember the tire
pressure until the system is reset.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires
as soon as possible and check wheel alignment.
Also check for damaged tires or wheels. SeeWhen
It Is Time for New Tires on page 418andWheel
Replacement on page 422for more information.
Make sure the spare tire is stored securely. Push,
pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire, If it
moves, use the folding wrench to tighten the cable.
SeeStoring a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on
page 444.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve
more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The
rst rotation is the most important. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 475.
