Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and
off. The snowake symbol will appear on
the display when the A/C is on.
Pressing this button when the outside temperature
is too cool for air conditioning to be effective will
make the snowake symbol ash three times
and then turn off to let you know that the air
conditioning mode is not available. If the air
conditioning is on and the outside temperature
drops below a temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the snowake
symbol will turn off to let you know that the air
conditioning mode has been canceled.
When air conditioning is selected or in AUTO
mode, the system will run the air conditioning
automatically to cool and dehumidify the air
entering the vehicle. If you select A/C off while in
front defrost, defog or recirculation, the A/C
snowake symbol will turn off, but the A/C
compressor will still run to help prevent fogging.On hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes
for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your
windows closed for the air conditioner to work
its best.
On cool, but sunny days while using manual
operation of the automatic system, use bi-level to
deliver warm air to the oor and cooler air to
the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the
air delivered, turn the temperature knob to the
desired setting.
In AUTO mode the system will cool and dehumidify
the air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO
mode, the system will maximize its performance
by using recirculation as necessary.
Heating
On cold days when using manual operation of the
automatic system, choose oor mode to deliver
air to the oor outlets. To warm or cool the
air delivered, turn the temperature knob to the
desired setting.
If you want to use the automatic mode, press
AUTO and adjust the temperature by turning the
temperature knob.
The heater works best if you keep the windows
closed while using it.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in
both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
Your vehicle’s odometer works together with the
driver information center. You can set a Trip A and
Trip B odometer. See “Trip Information” under
DIC Operation and Displays on page 222.
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Simply press the trip stem on
the instrument panel cluster.
If your vehicle ever needs a new odometer
installed, the new one will be set to the correct
mileage total of the old odometer.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your
vehicle has been driven since you last set the trip
odometer to zero.
Press the reset button, located on the instrument
panel cluster next to the trip odometer display,
to toggle between the trip odometer and the
regular odometer. Holding the reset button for
approximately one second while the trip odometer
is displayed will reset it.To display the odometer reading with the ignition
off, press the reset button.
Tachometer
Your tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime
will be provided for several seconds to remind
people to buckle their safety belts. The driver safety
belt light will also be provided and stay on for
several seconds, then it will ash for several more.
You should buckle your seat belt.
This chime and light will
be repeated if the driver
remains unbuckled
and the vehicle
is in motion.
If the driver’s belt is buckled, neither the chime nor
the light will be provided.

{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on when you have turned off the airbag, it
means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. The right front
passenger’s airbag could inate even
though the switch is off. If this ever
happens, do not let anyone whom the
national government has identied as a
member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the right front passenger’s position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front
passenger’s seat) until you have your
vehicle serviced. SeeAirbag Off Switch on
page 84, for more on this, including
important safety information.
Charging System Light
The charging system
light will come on briey
when the ignition is on,
but the engine is not
running, as a check to
show you it is working.
It should go out once the engine is running. If it
stays on, or comes on while you are driving,
you may have a problem with the charging system.
It could indicate that you have problems with a
generator drive belt, or another electrical problem.
Have it checked right away. Driving while this
light is on could drain the battery.
When this light comes on the DIC will also display
the SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM
message. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 226for more information.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on,
be certain to turn off all your accessories, such
as the radio and air conditioner.

At approximately 265°F (130°C), the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will display a
TRANSMISSION HOT message and the
transmission will enter a transmission protection
mode. When the transmission enters the protection
mode, you may notice a change in the transmission
shifting patterns. The transmission will return to
normal shifting patterns when the transmission uid
temperature falls below 260°F (125°C).
If the transmission uid reaches temperatures of
approximately 275°F (135°C) or greater, the DIC
will display a TRANS HOT IDLE ENGINE warning
message and a chime will sound. Pull the vehicle
off the roadway when it is safe to do so. Set the
parking brake, place the transmission in PARK (P)
and allow the engine to idle until the transmission
temperature falls below 260°F (125°C). If the
transmission continues to operate above 265°F
(130°C), please contact your nearest dealer or the
GM Roadside Assistance Center.
SeeDriver Information Center (DIC) on page 222
for further information.Notice:If you drive your vehicle with the
transmission temperature gage above normal
operating range, you can damage the
transmission. This could lead to costly repairs
that would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not drive your vehicle while the
transmission temperature gage reading is
above normal. See your dealer for service.
The following situations can cause the
transmission to operate at higher temperatures:
Towing a trailer,
hot outside air temperatures,
hauling a large or heavy load,
low transmission uid level,
high transmission uid level,
restricted air ow to the radiator.
A temporary solution to hotter transmission
operating temperatures may be to let the
transmission cool down. If the transmission is
operated at higher temperatures on a frequent
basis, seeScheduled Maintenance on page 517
for the proper transmission maintenance intervals.
