Parking Brake
The parking brake
pedal is located on the

instrument panel to
the left of the steering
wheel.
This vehicle has a push-to-release parking brake
pedal. To set the parking brake, hold the
regular brake pedal down with your right foot and
push the parking brake pedal down with your
left foot.

Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or
similar material dampened with glass cleaner.
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror
as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
Outside Power Heated Mirrors
The power mirror
control is on the driver’s
door armrest and
controls the driver’s
side and passenger’s
side mirrors.
Move the selector switch left or right to choose the
driver’s side or passenger’s side mirror. Use the
arrows located on the control pad to adjustthe position of each mirror. Adjust each mirror so
you can see the side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle. Return the selector
switch to the center position when nished
adjusting. This will prevent unwanted mirror
movement in case the control pad is accidentally
bumped while driving.
The preferred mirror positions can be stored with
the memory option. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors
and Steering Wheel on page 169.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to
prevent damage when going through car washes
or conned spaces. To fold, push the mirror
toward the vehicle. To return the mirror to its
original position, push outward. Be sure to return
both mirrors to their original unfolded position
before driving.
When the rear window defogger is turned on, both
outside rear view mirrors are heated to help
clear them of ice, snow, or condensation. See
“Rear Window Defogger” underDual Climate
Control System on page 230.

OnStar®Steering Wheel Controls
Your vehicle may have a Talk/Mute button that
can be used to interact with OnStar®Hands-Free
Calling. SeeAudio Steering Wheel Controls on
page 310for more information.
On some vehicles, you may have to hold the
button for a few seconds and give the command
“ONSTAR” in order to activate the OnStar
®
Hands-Free Calling feature.
On some vehicles, the mute button can be used to
dial numbers into voicemail systems, or to dial
phone extensions. See the OnStar
®Owner’s
Guide for more information.
How OnStar®Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar®services,
your vehicle’s OnStar®system has the capability
of recording and transmitting vehicle information.
This information is automatically sent to an
OnStar
®Call Center at the time of an OnStar®
button press, Emergency button press or if
your airbags or AACN system deploys. The vehicle
information usually includes your GPS locationand, in the event of a crash, additional information
regarding the accident that your vehicle has
been involved in (e.g. the direction from which
your vehicle was hit). When you use the Virtual
Advisor feature of OnStar
®Hands-Free Calling,
your vehicle also sends OnStar®your GPS
location so that we can provide you with
location-based services.
OnStar
®service cannot work unless your vehicle
is in a place where OnStar®has an agreement
with a wireless service provider for service in that
area. OnStar
®service also cannot work unless
you are in a place where the wireless service
provider OnStar
®has hired for that area
has coverage, network capacity and reception
when the service is needed, and technology that
is compatible with the OnStar
®service. Not all
services are available everywhere, particularly in
remote or enclosed areas, or at all times.
OnStar
®service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available in
that place as well.

Anti-Pinch: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 return to the full-open or
vent position. To close the sunroof once it has
re-opened, refer to the two options previously
described under the “Close” feature instructions.
Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle has personalization that allows you to
program certain features to a preferred setting
for up to two drivers. The back of the keyless
access transmitters are labelled 1 or 2. Additional
keyless access transmitters programmed to
the vehicle, as 3 and/or 4, do not have a number
on the back and are not capable of being
personalized. The number of programmable
features varies depending upon which vehicle
options are purchased.
On all vehicles, features such as climate control
settings, radio and XM™ preset settings, exterior
lighting at unlock and remote lock unlock
conrmation, and language have already been
programmed for your convenience. Your vehicle
also has an automatic door locking featurethat is always on. You cannot turn the automatic
door locking feature off. SeeProgrammable
Automatic Door Locks on page 99.
Some vehicles have additional features that can
be programmed including the seat, steering
column, and outside rearview mirror position.
If your vehicle has the base audio system,
the following information explains the vehicle
personalization on your vehicle.
If your vehicle has the Navigation system, see
“Personalization” in the Index of the Navigation
System manual for information on vehicle
personalization.
If your vehicle has the ability to program additional
personalization features, the driver’s preferences
are recalled by pressing any button on the keyless
access transmitter, 1 or 2, by selecting
Driver 1 or 2 on the radio display, or when a valid
keyless access transmitter is detected upon
opening the driver’s door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter
is detected upon opening the driver’s door, the
driver preferences for the lowest driver number will
be recalled.
