Order of Play
Tracks are played in the following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst
playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues
from the rst track of the rst playlist.
If the CD does not contain any playlists,
then play begins from the rst track under
the root directory. When all tracks from
the root directory have played, play continues
from les according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last track from the
last folder, play begins again at the rst
track of the rst folder or root directory.
When play enters a new folder, the display does
not automatically show the new folder name unless
the folder mode has been chosen as the default
display. See DISP (display) later in this section for
more information. The new track name appears
on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that is displayed is the song name
that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name
is not present in the ID3 tag, the radio displays the
le name without the extension (such as .mp3) as
the track name.
Track names longer than 32 characters or 4 pages
are shortened. Parts of words on the last page of
text and the extension of the lename does not
display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed, however, they cannot
be edited using the radio. These playlists are
treated as special folders containing compressed
audio song les.

The player pulls it in, and READING displays.
The CD should begin playing and the CD symbol
appears on the display. If you want to insert a

If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the
player it stays in the player. When the ignition or
radio is turned on, the CD starts to play where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play, the track number
appears on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs
and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same
manner.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality may be
reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There may be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading
and ejecting. If these problems occur, check
the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of
the CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly.
If the surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of
Your CDs on page 231for more information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught

If your vehicle has a Driver information Center
(DIC), a TRACTION FAILED message will appear
when a Traction Control System or Anti-Lock
Brake System problem has been detected and the
vehicle needs service. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 196for more information.
When this message is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes
on whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel
spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you
should always leave the system on. But you
can turn the traction control system off if you
ever need to.
To turn the system off,
press and hold the TCS
button for ve seconds.This light will come
on steady when the
traction control system
has been turned off.
This light ashes
when TCS is active.
If you press and hold the TC button for
ve seconds, the traction control system will turn
off and a TRAC OFF message will appear on
the DIC. Press the TC button again to turn
the system back on. The TRAC OFF message
will then go off. The traction control system
will reset itself at each ignition cycle.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. SeeAccessories and
Modications on page 314for more information.

Driving in Water
Heavy rain can mean ash ooding, and ood
waters demand extreme caution.
Find out how deep the water is before you drive
through it. If it is deep enough to cover your wheel
hubs, axles, or exhaust pipe, do not try it — you
probably will not get through. Also, water that deep
can damage your axle and other vehicle parts.
Your vehicle is capable of depths up to 20 inches.
Know how to judge whether the water is deeper
than this before proceeding into it.
If the water is not too deep, drive slowly through it.
At faster speeds, water splashes on your ignition
system and your vehicle can stall. Stalling can also
occur if you get your tailpipe under water. And,
as long as your tailpipe is under water, you
will never be able to start your engine. When you
go through water, remember that when your
brakes get wet, it may take you longer to stop.{CAUTION:
Driving through rushing water can be
dangerous. Deep water can sweep your
vehicle downstream and you and your
passengers could drown. If it is only
shallow water, it can still wash away the
ground from under your tires, and you
could lose traction and roll the vehicle
over. Do not drive through rushing water.
SeeDriving in Rain and on Wet Roads on page 273
for more information on driving through water.

If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you are
planning to visit there, here are some tips that
can make your trips safer and more enjoyable.
SeeOff-Road Driving on page 250for information
about driving off-road.
Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all
uid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling
system, and transmission. These parts can
work hard on mountain roads.
{CAUTION:
If you do not shift down, your brakes
could get so hot that they would not work
well. You would then have poor braking or
even none going down a hill. You could
crash. Shift down to let your engine assist
your brakes on a steep downhill slope.
{CAUTION:
Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) or with
the ignition off is dangerous. Your brakes
will have to do all the work of slowing
down. They could get so hot that they
would not work well. You would then have
poor braking or even none going down a
hill. You could crash. Always have your
engine running and your vehicle in gear
when you go downhill.
Know how to go down hills. The most important
thing to know is this: let your engine do some of
the slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when
you go down a steep or long hill.
Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift
down to a lower gear. The lower gears help
cool your engine and transmission, and you can
climb the hill better.

Dinghy Towing
Use the following procedure to tow your vehicle:
1. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
2. Turn the engine off, but leave the
ignition in ON.
3. Firmly set the parking brake.
4. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to
the tow vehicle.
{CAUTION:
Shifting a full-time four-wheel-drive
vehicle’s transfer case into NEUTRAL
can cause your vehicle to roll even if the
automatic transmission is in PARK (P) or
the manual transmission is in any gear.
You or others could be injured. Make sure
the parking brake is rmly set before
you shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL.5. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N). See
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive on page 111for
the proper procedure to select the NEUTRAL
position for your vehicle.
6. Put the transmission in PARK (P) for an
automatic transmission or in FIRST (1) for
a manual transmission.
7. Release the parking brake only after the
vehicle being towed is rmly attached to
the towing vehicle.
8. Turn the ignition off.
After towing, see “Shifting Out of NEUTRAL”
underFull-Time Four-Wheel Drive on page 111.
Dolly Towing
Notice:Dolly towing your vehicle will damage
drivetrain components. Do not dolly tow
your vehicle.
Your vehicle cannot be dolly towed. If you must
tow your vehicle behind another, use the
dinghy towing procedure listed previously.
