2007 BUICK TERRAZA window

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity, or 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 or frost 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.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs air to the
windshield and the oor outlets. When this mode
is selected, the system runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
at or below freezing.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected while
in the defog mode.
0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air
to the windshield and the side window outlets,
with some air directed to the oor outlets. In this
mode, the system will automatically run the
air conditioning compressor, unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing.Recirculation cannot be selected while in the
defrost mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid
to remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An
indicator light in the button will come on to let you
know that the rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will turn off about
10 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned
on again, the defogger will only run for about
ve minutes before turning off. The defogger can
also be turned off by pressing the button again
or by turning off the engine.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal
or anything similar to the defogger grid.

USB 2.0 Cradle
This type of cradle is
the docking station for
the DMS cartridge.
The USB 2.0 cradle is the docking station that
connects the DMS cartridge to the home computer
allowing new content to be added to the DMS
cartridge. When the cradle is connected to
the home computer, you can read from and write
to the DMS cartridge. The system is compatible
with home computers that support USB
communication (Microsoft
®Windows 98 SR2
and higher).
The USB 2.0 cradle is also backward compatible
for computers equipped with USB 1.1.
PhatNoise™ Media Manager
The PhatNoise™ Media Manager (PMM) supports
the in-vehicle GM Mobile Digital Media system.
The PMM can be used to save audio CDs to the
DMS cartridge as well as organize and transfer
existing tracks on your PC, load video les
onto your DMS cartridge, purchase the preloaded
videos and games, and much more.

Changes and modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
Read the following for instructions on handling and
taking care of your Mobile Digital Media system
and its components.
Digital Media Storage (DMS)
Cartridge Care

Do not leave the DMS cartridge in locations
with extremely high temperatures such as
on a car dashboard or in the rear window
where it will be subject to direct sunlight.
Do not drop the DMS cartridge or subject it
to a violent shock.
Do not spill liquid on the DMS cartridge
or submerge the DMS cartridge in liquid.
The only effective protection for data and other
material stored on the DMS cartridge is the
regular backing up of that data by you.
Mobile Digital Media Player Care

Never spray any type of liquid such as a
cleaning agent inside of an open cartridge
panel on the Digital Media player. Doing this
may damage the parts or inside mechanism
needed to help operate the unit.
Do not use any object to probe the opening of
the Mobile Digital Media player and do not put
any body parts or other foreign objects in
the opening of the product.

Tips and Troubleshooting Chart (cont’d)
Problem Cause and Solution
Audio skipping occurs during playback. Many things can cause a “skip”, or any break during
playback. If you are hearing breaks in playback, here
are some things to check:
When you hear a skip, restart the track, or seek
backwards a bit, to hear if the skip is actually in the
music le.
Check to see if you are using the latest rmware
and desktop software. This is very important, as
software is updated frequently. See PhatNoise
Music Manager manual.
Sometimes a heavily fragmented cartridge can
skip due to increased seek times. Defragment the
cartridge for best performance. See PhatNoise
Media Manager™ software instructions for
defragmenting a cartridge.
WMA les are not playing in the Mobile Digital
Media system.Some software such as Windows Media Player features
copy protection in their WMA encoding tools. This
prevents the tracks from playing on any device other
than your computer. Disable any “Copy Protect Music”
check box when encoding music. Consult your
software’s manual for more information.

When you want to leave the freeway, move to the
proper lane well in advance. If you miss your
exit, do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite
sharply. The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your
speedometer, not to your sense of motion. After
driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may
tend to think you are going slower than you
actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you are ready. Try to be well rested. If
you must start when you are not fresh — such
as after a day’s work — do not plan to make too
many miles that rst part of the journey. Wear
comfortable clothing and shoes you can easily
drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it is ready to go. If it
needs service, have it done before starting out.Of course, you will nd experienced and able
service experts in GM dealerships all across North
America. They will be ready and willing to help
if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid:Is the reservoir
full? Are all windows clean inside and outside?
Wiper Blades:Are they in good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids:Have you
checked all levels?
Lamps:Are they all working? Are the lenses
clean?
Tires:They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough
for long-distance driving? Are the tires
all inated to the recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts:What is the weather
outlook along your route? Should you
delay your trip a short time to avoid a major
storm system?
Maps:Do you have up-to-date maps?

You can run the engine to keep warm, but be
careful.
{CAUTION:
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your
vehicle. This can cause deadly CO
(carbon monoxide) gas to get inside. CO
could overcome you and kill you. You
cannot see it or smell it, so you might not
know it is in your vehicle. Clear away
snow from around the base of your
vehicle, especially any that is blocking
your exhaust pipe. And check around
again from time to time to be sure snow
does not collect there.
Open a window just a little on the side of
the vehicle that is away from the wind.
This will help keep CO out.
Run your engine only as long as you must. This
saves fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a
little faster than just idle. That is, push the
accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel for the
heat that you get and it keeps the battery charged.
