Sunroof
Sunroof (Ultra View)
{CAUTION:
People who are in a crash and not wearing a
safety belt properly can suffer much worse
injuries. They can hit things inside the vehicle
or be ejected from it, and be seriously injured
or killed. This is true for any vehicle occupant,
in any motor vehicle. In a rollover or other
crash, the Ultra View
®roof can be damaged
or destroyed. People who are unbelted would be
at risk of being ejected from the vehicle. Always
fasten your safety belt, and check that your
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.
Your vehicle may have an Ultra View
®sunroof over
the rst two rows of seats. The ignition must be turned
to ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY, or the Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be active to operate it.
SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-26.

Sunroof (Ultra View Plus)
{CAUTION:
People who are in a crash and not wearing a
safety belt properly can suffer much worse
injuries. They can hit things inside the vehicle
or be ejected from it, and be seriously injured
or killed. This is true for any vehicle occupant,

risk of being ejected from the vehicle. Always
fasten your safety belt, and check that your
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.
Your vehicle may have an Ultra View
®sunroof over the
rst two rows of seats and a smaller sunroof over
the third row seat. Both have sunshades, but the back
sunroof does not open. The ignition must be turned
to ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY, or the Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be active to operate it.
SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-26A. Rear Sunshade

The sunroof/sunshade switches are located in the
headliner between the driver and front passenger.
One switch (C) operates the front sunroof and another
switch (B) operates the front sunshade. The third
switch (A) is for the rear sunshade.
Press the back of the sunroof switch (C) to open the
sunroof. Press the switch to the rst stop to open the
sunroof to a desired position. Press the switch to the
second stop to express-open the sunroof to a preset
comfort stop. Press the switch at the second stop again

Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located on the overhead console.
These lamps come on automatically when any door is
opened.
For manual operation, press the button next to each
lamp to turn it on or off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM)
that estimates the battery’s temperature and state
of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best
performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly put the charge back in. When the
state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage
or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical
loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles.
This is because the generator (alternator) may not be
spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the power that
is needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at
high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer
loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s output
and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase engine
idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed.
It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some
accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without
being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message
might be displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or
Service Battery Charging System. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the
electrical loads as much as possible. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-53.

Outlet Adjustment
Use the knobs located in the center of each outlet to
change the direction of the airow. Use the thumbwheels
to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that could
block the ow of air into the vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air inside of the vehicle more
effectively.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment
air lter might need to be replaced. For more
information, seePassenger Compartment Air Filter
on page 3-30.
Set the climate control system to AUTO fan and
mode and then adjust the temperature setting
up or down a few degrees for best comfort.
Rear Air Conditioning System
If your vehicle has the rear air conditioning system it
has two fan speed selectors. One fan speed selector is
located in the front overhead console and the other is
located in the headliner above the second row seats.
The rear air conditioning system is designed to provide
cooled air only.
To operate the rear system using the front control, just
turn the knob to the fan position you want.
To use the rear control, rst turn the front control to
AUX, then the rear control can be used to increase and
decrease the airow.Front Control

FRONT TIRES or REAR TIRES
The pressure for each tire can be viewed in the DIC.
The tire pressure will be shown in either pounds
per square inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa). Press the
vehicle information button until the DIC shows the tire
pressure for the front tires. Press the vehicle information
button again to view the pressure for the rear tires.
If a low or high tire pressure condition is detected by
the system while driving, a message advising you
to check the pressure in a specic tire will appear in
the display. SeeInflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-59
andDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53for
more information.
RELEARN REMOTE KEY

the second will match driver 2.
A chime will sound indicating that the transmitter is
matched.
4. To match additional transmitters at this time, repeat
Step 3.
Each vehicle can have a maximum of
eight transmitters matched to it.
5. To exit the programming mode, you must cycle the
key to LOCK/OFF.

Similar appearing vehicles may have different GVWRs
and payloads. Please note the Certication/Tire
label on your truck or consult your dealer for additional
details.
{CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
or either the maximum front or rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do,
parts on your vehicle can break, and it
can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause you to lose control
and crash. Also, overloading can shorten
the life of your vehicle.
If you put things inside your vehicle — like
suitcases, tools, packages, or anything
else — they will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If
you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is
a crash, they will keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above the tops of
the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless you need to.
There is also important loading information for
off-road driving in this manual. SeeOff-Road
Driving on page 4-12.
