Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each keyless access transmitter is coded to allow
only transmitters programmed to your vehicle, to
work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement
can be purchased and programmed through your
dealer/retailer. Your dealer/retailer can reprogram
your vehicle so lost or stolen transmitters no longer
work with your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a
maximum of four transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle
when you have a recognized transmitter
(two recognized transmitters are required
for Canadian owners), do the following:
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized and new, unrecognized
transmitters on your person.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the
vehicle key into the key cylinder located
above the license plate. SeeHatch/Trunk
on page 82for more information on the key
cylinder.
4. Open the trunk.
5. Turn the key ve times within ve seconds.

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 controls for the
outside power mirrors
are located on the
driver’s door.
Move the top selector control to the left or right to
select either the driver’s or passenger’s mirror. To
adjust the direction of the mirror, use the arrows on
the round four-way control. Adjust each outsidemirror so that a little of the vehicle and the area
behind it can be seen while sitting in a comfortable,
driving position. Keep the control in the center
position when not adjusting either outside mirror.
If the vehicle has the memory feature, a preferred
mirror position can be stored. SeeMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 10.
Both mirrors are heated to rid them of snow, ice,
or condensation. They will heat when the rear
window defogger is turned on. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Automatic Climate Control
System on page 179.
Both mirrors can manually be folded inward by
pulling them toward the vehicle. This feature may
be useful when going through a car wash or a
conned space. Push the mirrors away from the
vehicle, to the normal position, before driving.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle has this feature, the driver’s
side outside mirror will adjust for the glare of
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off setting on the inside mirror.

SERVICE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This message displays if an electrical problem has
occurred within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). Have your vehicle serviced by your dealer.
SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM
This message displays if the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) has detected a problem within
the fuel system. Have your vehicle serviced
by your dealer. This message also displays when
the cluster is not getting fuel information from
the PCM.
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL
This message displays when the Selective Ride
Control system has detected a malfunction and
the system must be serviced. See your dealer.
If a fault is present in the Selective Ride Control
system which causes the shocks to be in their
full soft condition, the messages SERVICE RIDE
CONTROL, SHOCKS INOPERATIVE, and
MAXIMUM SPEED 80 MPH (129 km/h) will display
together. SeeSelective Ride Control on page 286
for more information.
SERVICE TIRE MONITOR
This message displays if a part on the Tire
Pressure Monitor (TPM) system is not working
properly. If you drive your vehicle while any of
the four sensors are missing or inoperable,
the warning comes on in about 30 minutes.
A sensor would be missing, for example, if you
put different wheels on your vehicle without
transferring the sensors. If the warning comes on
and stays on, there may be a problem with the
TPM. See your dealer.
SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM
If this message displays when you are driving,
there is a problem with the Traction Control
System (TCS) and your vehicle is in need of
service. See your dealer. When this message is
displayed, the system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system (TCS) warning light
on the instrument panel cluster will also turn
on and a chime will sound.

Brake Wear
Your vehicle has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that
make a high-pitched warning sound when the
brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
The sound can come and go or be heard all
the time your vehicle is moving, except when you
are pushing on the brake pedal rmly.
{CAUTION:
The brake wear warning sound means that
soon the brakes will not work well. That
could lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have your
vehicle serviced.Notice:Continuing to drive with worn-out
brake pads could result in costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates can cause
a brake squeal when the brakes are rst applied
or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong with the brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as
complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer/retailer if the brake pedal does
not return to normal height, or if there is a
rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a
sign that brake service might be required.
Brake Adjustment
As you make brake stops, the disc brakes
automatically adjust for wear.

Low-Prole Performance Tire
The original equipment tires on your vehicle are
classied as low-prole performance tires. These
tires are designed for very responsive driving on
wet or dry pavement. You may also notice more
road noise with low-prole tires and that they
tend to wear faster.
Notice:If your vehicle has low-prole tires,
they are more susceptible to damage from
road hazards or curb impact than standard
prole tires. Tire and/or wheel assembly
damage can occur when coming into contact
with road hazards like, potholes, or sharp
edged objects, or when sliding into a curb.
Your GM warranty does not cover this type
of damage. Keep tires set to the correct
ination pressure and, when possible avoid
contact with curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.
Winter Tires
If you expect to drive on snow or ice covered
roads often, you may want to get winter tires
for your vehicle. All season tires provide good
overall performance on most surfaces butthey may not offer the traction you would like
or the same level of performance as winter tires
on snow or ice covered roads.
Winter tires, in general, are designed for increased
traction on snow and ice covered roads. With winter
tires, there may be decreased dry road traction,
increased road noise, and shorter tread life. After
switching to winter tires, be alert for changes in
vehicle handling and braking.
See your dealer for details regarding winter tire
availability and proper tire selection. Also, see
Buying New Tires on page 394.
If you choose to use winter tires:
Use tires of the same brand and tread type
on all four wheel positions.
Use only radial ply tires of the same size,
load range, and speed rating as the original
equipment tires.
Winter tires with the same speed rating as your
original equipment tires may not be available for H,
V, W, Y, and ZR speed rated tires. If you choose
winter tires with a lower speed rating, never
exceed the tire’s maximum speed capability.
