Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features intended to
minimize driver distraction. Technology alone, no matter
how advanced, can never replace your own judgment.
See the Navigation System manual for some tips to help
you reduce distractions while driving.
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System
If your vehicle has a navigation radio system, it could
have the Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system.
For more information on how to use the RSE system,
see “Rear Seat Entertainment System” in the Navigation
System manual.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature lets rear seat passengers listen to and
control any of the music sources: radio, CDs, DVDs,
or other auxiliary sources. However, the rear seat
passengers can only control the music sources the front
seat passengers are not listening to (except on some
radios where dual control is allowed). For example, rear
seat passengers can control a CD and listen to it through
the headphones, while the driver listens to the radio
through the front speakers. The rear seat passengers
have control of the volume for each set of headphones.
You can operate the Rear Seat Audio (RSA) functions
even when the main radio is off. The front audio system
will display the headphone icon when the RSA is on,
and will disappear from the display when it is off.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones
(not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA.
If your vehicle has this feature, audio can also be
heard on Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
Depending on the audio system, the rear speakers can
continue to play even when the RSA audio is active
through the headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable audio device through
the RSA, attach the iPod or portable audio device to the
front auxiliary input (if available), located on the front
audio system. Turn the iPod on, then choose the
front auxiliary input with the RSA SRCE button.

XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In
addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or through tunnels could cause loss
of the XM™ signal for a period of time. The radio
may display NO XM SIGNAL to indicate interference.
Rear Side Window Antenna
Your AM-FM antenna is located in the passenger rear
side windows. Make sure the inside surfaces of the rear
side windows are not scratched and that the lines on
the glass are not damaged. If the inside surfaces
are damaged, they could interfere with radio reception.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear
the inside of the rear side windows may affect radio
reception or damage the rear window defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not clear the inside of the rear side windows
with sharp objects.Notice:Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with
metallic lm. The metallic lm in some tinting
materials will interfere with or distort the incoming
radio reception. Any damage caused to your antenna
due to metallic tinting materials will not be covered
by your warranty.
Because this antenna is built into the rear side windows,
there is a reduced risk of damage caused by car
washes and vandals.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone
to your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached
to the glass, make sure you do not damage the grid
lines for the AM-FM antennas or place the cellular
telephone antenna over the grid lines.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception.
If your vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the
XM™ system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle can interfere
with the performance of the XM™ system. Make sure
the XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is not obstructed.

Notice:Do not repeatedly brake or accelerate
heavily when the TCS is off. You could damage your
vehicle’s driveline.
When the TCS is switched off on AWD vehicles, you
may still feel the system working. This is normal
and necessary with the AWD hardware on your vehicle.
You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever
gets stuck in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle
is required. SeeRocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out
on page 4-33andIf Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud,
Ice, or Snow on page 4-32for more information. See
alsoWinter Driving on page 4-29for information
on using TCS when driving in snowy or icy conditions.
To turn the system off,
press the TC (traction
control) button located on
the console under the
climate controls.
If you press the TC (traction control) button once, the
traction control system will turn off and the traction
control system warning light will come on. Press
the TC button again to turn the system back on.If you press and hold the TC button for ve seconds,
the StabiliTrak®system and the traction control system
will turn off. Press the TC (traction control) button
again to turn StabiliTrak
®back on. For more information,
seeStabiliTrak®System on page 4-7.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle’s
performance. SeeAccessories and Modifications
on page 5-3for more information.
Magnetic Ride Control
Your vehicle may have Magnetic Ride Control that
automatically adjusts the ride of your vehicle. Automatic
ride control is achieved through a computer used to
control and monitor the suspension system. The
controller receives input from various sensors to
determine the proper system response. If the controller
detects a problem within the system, the DIC will display
a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-53for more
information. See your dealer for service.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Your vehicle may have this feature. A limited-slip rear
axle can give you additional traction on snow, mud, ice,
sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of
the time, but when one of the rear wheels has no
traction and the other does, this feature will allow the
wheel with traction to move the vehicle.
StabiliTrak®System
Your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability
enhancement system called StabiliTrak®.Itisan
advanced computer controlled system that assists
you with directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.
StabiliTrak
®activates when the computer senses a
discrepancy between your intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrak
®
selectively applies braking pressure at any one of
the vehicle’s brakes to help steer the vehicle in the
direction which you are steering.
When the stability control system activates, the
traction control system and StabiliTrak
®light will
ash on the instrument panel cluster. This also
occurs when traction control is activated.You may also hear a noise or feel vibration in the brake
pedal. This is normal. Continue to steer the vehicle in the
direction you want it to go.
If there is a problem detected with StabiliTrak
®,a
SERVICE STABILITRAK message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-53. When this message is
displayed, the system is not operational. Driving should
be adjusted accordingly.
StabiliTrak
®comes on automatically whenever you start
your vehicle. To help assist you with directional control of
the vehicle, you should always leave the system on. You
can turn StabiliTrak
®off if you ever need to through the
TC (traction control) on/off button. A STABILITRAK OFF
message will appear in the DIC when it has been turned
off. SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on page 4-5.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the StabiliTrak
®
activates, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, you may reengage the cruise control. See
Cruise Control on page 3-12for more information.
