Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamp if it is left
on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition
is in LOCK. This will help prevent your battery
from running down.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
Your vehicle has accessory power outlets.
With accessory power outlets you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
Your vehicle has two accessory power outlets
located on the lower part of the instrument panel
below the climate control system and there
may be one located in the rear cargo area.
A small cap must be pulled down to access an
accessory power outlet. When not using an outlet,
be sure to cover it with the protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always
unplug electrical equipment when not in use
and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the
maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes.Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem, see your dealer for
additional information on accessory power outlets.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding
maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes.
Check with your dealer before adding electrical
equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the proper installation instructions included
with the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet
can cause damage not covered by your
warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory
or accessory bracket from the plug because
the power outlets are designed for accessory
power plugs only.

Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have an ashtray and cigarette
lighter.
Your ashtray is located in your center console
area. The ashtray can be removed for cleaning.
When the ashtray is removed, this area can
also be used as a cupholder.

Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could
be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter
in while it is heating.
Climate Controls
Climate Control System
This system controls the heating, cooling, and
ventilation of the vehicle. In-between modes are
available by moving the right control knob between
modes with symbols. The in-between mode will
be a combination of the two modes that the control
is centered between.
Temperature:Turn the left knob on the control
panel to adjust the temperature of the air in
the vehicle. Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature.

Recirculation is available in the bi-level, and vent
modes. Recirculation is not available while in
oor, oor/defog and defrost mode. If recirculation
is selected in these modes, the indicator will
ash three times indicating it is not available in
that mode. When the recirculation mode is turned
on, the air conditioning will turn on automatically.
H(Vent):Turn the right knob on the control
panel to this mode to direct air to the instrument
panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level):Turn the right knob on the control
panel to this mode to direct air to the instrument
panel outlets, and the remaining air to the
oor outlets and the defroster and side window
outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets
and warmer air to the oor outlets.
[(Floor):Turn the right knob on the control
panel to this mode to direct air to the oor outlets,
side window outlets, and defroster. Recirculation
is not available in this mode.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield and side windows. Use the defog mode
to clear the windows of fog or moisture and
warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly. For best results, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield before defrosting.
/(Floor/Defog):Turn the right knob on the
control panel to this mode to direct the air to
the windshield, the side window outlets, and to
the oor outlets. When you select this mode, the
system runs the air conditioning system unless
the outside temperature is near freezing or below.
Recirculation is not available in this mode.

Battery Warning Light
This light will come on
briey when you start
the vehicle, as a
check to show you
it is working; then
it should go out.
If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving,
you may have a problem with the electrical
charging system. Have it checked right away.
Driving while this light is on could drain your
battery and result in a vehicle that may stall.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 196
for 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 climate control system.
Up-Shift Light
(Manual Transmission)
This light appears when
you need to shift to the
next higher gear on
a manual transmission
vehicle.

DIC Warnings and Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the
driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed by the driver
to correct the condition. Multiple messages may
appear one after another. The messages are
displayed for four seconds each.
Some messages may not require immediate
action, but you should press and release the trip
odometer reset stem to acknowledge that you
received the messages and to clear them from the
display. Each message must be acknowledged
individually.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
cleared. You should take any messages that
appear on the display seriously and remember
that clearing the messages will only make
the messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.
AC (Air Conditioning) OFF
This message displays when the engine coolant
temperature is too high and the air conditioning in
your vehicle needs to be turned off. SeeEngine
Overheating on page 338andClimate Control
System on page 170for more information.
This message displays along with the ENG HOT
message.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) FAULT
This message displays if there is a problem
with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Check the
ABS as soon as possible and have your vehicle
serviced by your dealer. SeeBrakes on page 347
andAnti-Lock Brake System Warning Light on
page 183for more information. Press and release
the reset stem to acknowledge the message
and clear it from the display.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder
and maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
The following information relates to the system
developed by the United States National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which
grades tires by treadwear, traction, and
temperature performance. This applies only to
vehicles sold in the United States. The grades are
molded on the sidewalls of most passenger car
tires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG)
system does not apply to deep tread, winter-type
snow tires, space-saver, or temporary use
spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of
10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), or to some
limited-production tires.
While the tires available on General Motors
passenger cars and light trucks may vary with
respect to these grades, they must also conform
to federal safety requirements and additional
General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC)
standards.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specied
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and a half (1.5) times
as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart signicantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices, and differences in road characteristics
and climate.
Traction – AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specied
government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Warning:The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
