Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is
locked, the handle will not open it.
You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if
the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out.
A child can be overcome by extreme
heat and can suffer permanent injuries
or even death from heat stroke.
Always lock your vehicle whenever
you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle. Locking your
doors can help prevent this from
happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock
your vehicle.
From the outside, turn the key in the driver’s door
lock counterclockwise to lock the door and

Lockout Protection
If you press the power door lock switch when the
key is in the ignition and any door is open, all
the doors will lock and then the driver’s door will
unlock. Be sure to remove the key from the ignition
when locking your vehicle.
If the remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
lock the doors while the key is in the ignition,
a chime will sound three times. All doors will
then lock.
Liftgate

It can be dangerous to drive with the
liftgate open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
unconsciousness and even death. If you
must drive with the liftgate open or if
electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the liftgate:
Make sure all other windows are shut.

cooling system to its highest speed
and select the control setting that will
force outside air into your vehicle. See
Climate Control System on page 156.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the
way. SeeEngine Exhaust on page 125.
Use your remote keyless entry transmitter or
power door lock switches to unlock the liftgate.

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 227for 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.

*(Off):The lamp will not come on as long as
the switch is in this position.
1(Automatic):The lamp will come on when a
door is opened. SeeEntry Lighting on page 154.
+(On):The lamp will stay on as long as

If the dome lamp is in the automatic position,
the lamps inside your vehicle will come on when
any door is opened. In addition, the lights will
come on when the remote keyless entry unlock
button is pressed. It will stay on for 20 seconds
or until a door is opened. After the door is
opened the lights will remain on and stay on for
20 seconds after the doors are closed, or until you
put the key in the ignition and turn the key to

The lamps are located on the headliner above the
rearview mirror. To turn the lamps on, press
the lens. Press the lens again to turn them off.
Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver
feature designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp is left on and the
ignition is turned off, the battery rundown
protection system will automatically turn the lamp
off after 20 minutes. This will avoid draining
the battery.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlets can be used to
connect electrical equipment such as a cellular
phone or CB radio.
The accessory power outlets are located on the
instrument panel near the climate controls, on the
rear of the center console, and also inside the
console under the cupholders.
To use the outlets, remove the cover. When not in
use, always cover the outlet with the protective cap.

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
works with the vehicle’s audio system and includes
a radio that accepts CD audio or DVD video,
a video display screen, two sets of wireless
headphones, and a remote control.
Before You Drive
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers
only. The driver cannot safely view the video
screen while driving and should not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the
RSE system might not work until the temperature
is within the operating range. The operating
range for the RSE system is above−4°F (−20°C)
or below 140°F (60°C). If the temperature of
your vehicle is outside of this range, heat or cool
the vehicle until the temperature is within the
operating range of the RSE system.
Headphones
The RSE includes two sets of wireless
headphones that are only dedicated to this
system. These headphones are used to listen to
the radio with CD and DVD or an auxiliary
device connected to the RCA jacks. The wireless
headphones have an ON/OFF switch and a
volume control.
To use the headphones, turn the switch to ON.
An indicator light on the headphones comes
on. If the light does not come on, the batteries
might need to be replaced. See “Battery
Replacement” later in this section for more
information. Switch the headphones to OFF when
not in use.

Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video
screen on the overhead console. The RCA jacks
allow audio or video signals to be connected
from an auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a
video game unit to the RSE. Adapter connectors
or cables might be required to connect the
auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.The RCA jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (right) is for the video input. The white jack
(middle) is for the left audio input. The red
jack (left) is for the right audio input. The red
connector must always be used in order for the
DVD system to recognize that an external source
is plugged in. With the radio on, the screen
automatically switches to the rear auxiliary input
when the red connector cable is inserted.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
To use the auxiliary function, connect a camcorder
or a video game unit to the RCA jacks and turn
on the auxiliary device. To view a DVD, insert the
DVD into the CD/DVD loading slot on the radio.
The system automatically switches to DVD
and starts to play. To switch between the auxiliary
device and the DVD, press the DVD/AUX button
on the radio faceplate or the SRCE (source) button
on the remote control. See “DVD Player” and
“Remote Control” later in this section for more
information.

Audio Output
Only one audio source can be heard through the
speakers at one time.
Press the power button to turn the radio on.
The radio can be heard through all of the vehicle
speakers.
When a DVD is inserted, playback is heard
through the vehicle speakers and headphones.
Front seat passengers can listen to the radio
by pressing the BAND button to select AM, FM or
XM™ (if equipped). The rear seat speakers are
muted for radio listening, and the DVD plays
through the headphones (RSE Mode).
When RCA jacks are connected, the rear speakers
are muted. The rear seat passengers are able
to hear audio from the auxiliary device through the
wireless headphones. The front seat passengers
are able to listen to the radio through the front
speakers, by pressing the BAND button to select
AM, FM, or XM (if equipped), or listen to a CD
that is inserted into the radio.
If a playback device is plugged into the radio’s
auxiliary input jack, the device can be heard
through all of the vehicle speakers. In RSE mode
the playback device is only heard through the
front speakers.
Video Screen
The video screen is located in the overhead
console.
To use the video screen, do the following:
1. Push forward on the release button located on
the DVD display console.
2. Pull the screen down, away from you, and
adjust its position as desired.
When the video screen is not in use, push it up
into its locked position.
If a DVD is playing and the screen is raised to its
locked position, the screen shuts off, but the
DVD continues to play through the previous audio
or video source.
The video screen contains the transmitters for the
wireless headphones and the receivers for the
remote control. If the screen is in the closed
position, the signals are not available for the
operation of the headphones or the remote control.
Notice:Avoid directly touching the video
screen, as damage may occur. See “Cleaning
the Video Screen” later in this section for
more information.
