To stop the door(s) immediately while the door(s)
is opening or closing, press the PSD override
(deactivation) part of the switch.
Pressing the PSD button(s) on the remote keyless entry
will open and close the door unless the door has
been manually locked using the mechanical slider.
Resetting the Power Sliding Door
The power sliding door may operate incorrectly or not at
all because of the following conditions:
A low voltage or dead battery
A disconnected battery
If the instrument panel PSD/fuse 21, LHPSD/
fuse 24 or RHPSD/fuse 25 are removed or blown.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-98for more
information.
If any of these conditions occur, the power sliding door
may need to be reset. If your vehicle has the dual
power sliding doors, both doors will have to be reset. To
reset a door, do the following:
1. Check to be sure the power sliding door is unlocked
and securely closed.
2. Turn the ignition to LOCK.3. If the power sliding door overhead console switch is
in the override (deactivation) position, return to the
activation position.
4. Open the sliding door using the remote keyless
entry transmitter, overhead console switch, or
passenger switch. Allow the door to travel
fully open.
If the door does not travel to the fully open position,
press the overhead console switch to the override
(deactivation) position and slide the door fully open and
closed. Check for foreign objects in the tracks. Repeat
the procedure starting with Step 1. If the door resists
travel to the fully open position, see your dealer
for service.
Liftgate
To unlock or lock the liftgate from the outside, use the
remote keyless entry transmitter. For more information,
seeRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation
on page 2-5.
You can also use the power door lock switch to lock
and unlock the liftgate.
Open the liftgate using the handle located above the
license plate. Once slightly opened, the liftgate will rise
by itself. Lamps in the rear of the vehicle will come

Programming the Universal Home
Remote System
For questions or help programming the Universal Home
Remote System, call 1-800-355-3515 or go to
www.homelink.com.
Programming a garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure
before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out and
the procedure will have to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. From inside the vehicle, press and hold down the
two outside buttons at the same time, releasing only
when the Universal Home Remote indicator light
begins to ash, after 20 seconds. This step will erase
the factory settings or all previously programmed
buttons.
Do not hold down the buttons for longer than
30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program
the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons.2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter about
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Universal
Home Remote buttons while keeping the indicator
light in view. The hand-held transmitter was supplied
by the manufacturer of your garage door opener
receiver (motor head unit).
3. At the same time, press and hold both the Universal
Home Remote button to be used to control the
garage door and the hand-held transmitter button.
Do not release the Universal Home Remote
button or the hand-held transmitter button until
Step 4 has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require substitution of Step 3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this section.
4. The indicator light on the Universal Home Remote
will ash slowly at rst and then rapidly after
Universal Home Remote successfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal Home
Remote button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on continuously,
the programming is complete and the garage door
should move when the Universal Home Remote
button is pressed and released. There is no need to
continue programming Steps 6 through 8.

Power Outlet 115 Volt Alternating
Current
The vehicle may have a power outlet that can be used
to plug in electrical equipment that uses a maximum
limit of 150 watts.
The power outlet is located behind the third row seats
on the passenger’s side rear quarter trim panel.
An indicator light on the outlet turns on to show it is in
use. The light comes on when the ignition is in ON/RUN
and equipment requiring less than 150 watts is
plugged into the outlet, and no system fault is detected.The indicator light does not come on when the
ignition is in LOCK/OFF or if no equipment is
plugged into the outlet.
If you try to connect equipment using more than
150 watts or a system fault is detected, a protection
circuit shuts off the power supply and the indicator light
turns off. To reset the circuit, unplug the item and
plug it back in or turn the Remote Accessory Power
(RAP) off and then back on. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 2-32. The power restarts
when equipment using 150 watts or less is plugged
into the outlet and a system fault is not detected.
The power outlet is not designed for the following
electrical equipment and may not work properly if these
items are plugged into the power outlet:
Equipment with high initial peak wattage such as:
compressor-driven refrigerators and electric
power tools.
Other equipment requiring an extremely stable
power supply such as: microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system. See
Passenger Sensing System on page 1-85for important
safety information. The instrument panel has a
passenger airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is
started, the passenger
airbag status indicator will
light the symbol for on
and off for several seconds
as a system check.
If you use remote start to start your vehicle from a
distance, if equipped, you may not see the system
check. Then, after several more seconds, the status
indicator will light either the on or off symbol to let you
know the status of the right front passenger frontal
and seat-mounted side impact airbags (if equipped).
If the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right front passenger frontal
airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped)
are enabled (may inate).If the off symbol is lit on the airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing system has turned off
the right front passenger frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped).
If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the passenger sensing
system. See your dealer/retailer for service.
{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on and
stays on, it means that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have the vehicle serviced right
away. SeeAirbag Readiness Light on page 3-33
for more information, including important safety
information.

Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briey when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All messages appear in the DIC display located in the
instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer. The DIC
buttons are located on the center of the instrument
panel, below the center outlets.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC displays WELCOME DRIVER (1 or 2) if a
personalized key 1 or 2 is used, and then the information
that was last displayed before the engine was turned off.
The driver number also corresponds to the numbers,
1 or 2, on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitters.The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers, fuel
economy, trip computer, vehicle system information, and
compass display, if equipped. It also displays warning
messages if a system problem is detected. In addition,
the DIC displays phone numbers that are called using the
OnStar
®system, if equipped. SeeOnStar®System on
page 2-47.
On some vehicles, the outside air temperature
automatically appears in the bottom right corner of the
DIC display when viewing all of the information screens,
except for the oil life screens. If the outside air
temperature is at or below 37°F (3°C), the temperature
reading will toggle between displaying the outside
temperature and the word ICE for two minutes. If there is
a problem with the system that controls the temperature
display, the letters OC (open circuit) or SC (short circuit)
will appear on the display. If this occurs, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer/retailer.
The DIC also allows some features to be customized
or personalized, if equipped. SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-68for
more information.
