Section 2 Features and Controls

Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it
is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle,
a chime will sound, when you open the driver’s
door. Always remember to remove your key from
the ignition and take it with you. This will lock
your ignition and transaxle. Also, always remember
to lock the doors.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ignition while your vehicle is parked.
You may not be able to start your vehicle after it
has been parked for an extended period of time.
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, 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.

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 125for 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 de ector will
automatically raise. The air de ector will retract
when the sunroof is closed.
187

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.
When the sunroof is opened, an air de ector will
automatically raise. The air de ector 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
de ector 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.

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.
