Section 2 Features and Controls
112

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
Your vehicle has a Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) feature which will allow certain features on
your vehicle to continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the ignition key is turned to LOCK.
The radio, power windows, and if the vehicle has
a sunroof and the OnStar
®System, will work
when the ignition key is in RUN or ACCESSORY.
Once the key is turned from RUN to LOCK,
these features will continue to work for up to
10 minutes or until a door is opened.
Starting the Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N). Your engine will not start in
any other position — that is a safety feature.
To restart when you are already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
Notice:Do not try to shift to PARK (P) if your
vehicle is moving. If you do, you could
damage the transmission. Shift to PARK (P)
only when your vehicle is stopped.1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn
the ignition key to START. When the engine
starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will go
down as your engine gets warm.
Your vehicle has a Computer-Controlled
Cranking System. This feature assists in
starting the engine and protects the electrical
system. If the ignition key is turned to the
START, and then released when the engine
begins cranking, the engine will continue
cranking until the vehicle starts or until
it exceeds the maximum cranking time allowed,
approximately 15 seconds to prevent cranking
motor damage. To prevent gear damage,
this system also prevents cranking if the
engine is already running. The engine cranking
can be stopped by turning the ignition switch
to the ACCESSORY or LOCK.
Notice:Cranking the engine for long periods
of time, by returning the key to the START
position immediately after cranking has ended,
can overheat and damage the cranking
motor and drain the battery. Waiting about
15 seconds between each try, to allow
the cranking motor to cool down, will prevent
damage due to overheating.

Sunroof
Your vehicle may be equipped with a power
sliding sunroof. To open or close the sunroof, the
ignition needs to be turned to ON, or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be active.
When RAP is active, the sunroof will work for
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off, or until a
front door is opened. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 141for more information.
There are two switches
in the overhead console
that operate the
sunroof.Manual-Open/Manual-Close:To open the
sunroof press and hold the rear of the driver’s side
switch until the sunroof reaches the desired
position. To close the sunroof, press and hold the
front of the driver’s side switch until the sunroof
reaches the desired position. The sunshade
will open automatically with the sunroof, but can
also be opened manually.
When the sunroof is opened, an air deector will
automatically raise. The air deector will retract
when the sunroof is closed.
Express-Open/Express-Close:To express-open
the sunroof, fully press and release the rear of
the driver’s side switch. The sunroof will open
automatically. To stop the sunroof partway, press
the switch a second time. To express-close
the sunroof, fully press and release the front of the
driver’s side switch. The sunroof will close
automatically. To stop the sunroof partway, press
the switch a second time. The sunshade will
open automatically with the sunroof, but can also
be opened manually.
186

When the sunroof is opened, an air deector will
automatically raise. The air deector will retract
when the sunroof is closed.
Vent:From the closed position, press the rear of
the passenger’s side switch to vent the sunroof.
To stop the sunroof partway, press the switch
a second time. To close the sunroof, press and
hold the front of the passenger’s side switch.
To stop the sunroof partway, release the switch.Anti-Pinch Feature:If an object is in the path of
the sunroof while it is closing, the anti-pinch
feature will detect the object and stop the sunroof
from closing at the point of the obstruction.
The sunroof will then open halfway, and the air
deector will raise. To close the sunroof once
it has re-opened, refer to the “Express-Close” or
“Manual-Close” functions described previously.
If the sunroof is in the vent position, and there is
an object in the path of the sunroof when it
closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the object
and stop the sunroof. To close the sunroof once
it has re-opened, refer to the “Manual-Close”
or “Express-Close” functions described previously.
187

If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular
telephone to your vehicle, and the antenna needs
to be attached to the glass, be sure that you
do not damage the grid lines for the AM-FM
antennas or place the cellular telephone antenna
over the grid lines.
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 to indicate the new volume
selected. Removing the radio and not replacing it
with a factory radio or chime module will disable
vehicle chimes.
