2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cablescan reach, but be sure the vehicles are not touchingeach other. If they are, it could cause a groundconnection you do not want. You would not be ableto start your vehicle and the bad grounding coulddamage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, setthe parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved inthe jump start procedure. Put an automatictransmission in P (Park) or a manual transmissionin NEUTRAL before setting the parking brake.
Notice:If you leave the radio or other accessorieson during the jump starting procedure, they could bedamaged. The repairs would not be covered by thewarranty. Always turn off the radio and otheraccessories when jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplugunnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarettelighter or the accessory power outlets. Turn offthe radio and all lamps that are not needed. Thiswill avoid sparks and help save both batteries.And it could save the radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+) andnegative (!) terminal locations on the othervehicle. Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jumpstarting terminal and a remote negative (!) jumpstarting terminal.
The remote positive (+) terminal is located in theengine compartment on the passenger’s side of thevehicle. Lift the red plastic cap to access theterminal. SeeEngine Compartment Overview onpage 6-12for more information on the locationof the remote positive (+) terminal.
A second remote positive (+) terminal is located onthe rear underseat fuse block.
The remote negative (!) terminal is located behindthe power steering pulley, near the engine cover.It is marked GND (!).

If your vehicle has P235/55R17 or P245/50R18 sizetires, and you will be driving at speeds of 100 mph(160 km/h) or higher, where it is legal, set the coldinflation pressure to the maximum inflation pressureshown on the tire sidewall, or 38 psi (265 kPa),whichever is lower. See the example following.
Example:
You will find the maximum load and inflation pressuremolded on the tire’s sidewall, in small letters, nearthe rim flange. It will read something like this: Maximumload 690 kg (1521 lbs) 300 kPa (44 psi) Max. Press.
For this example, you would set the inflation pressure forhigh-speed driving at 38 psi (265 kPa).
When you end this high-speed driving, return the tires tothe cold inflation pressure shown on the Tire andLoading Information label. SeeLoading the Vehicle onpage 5-18.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses radioand sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. TheTPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in yourvehicle’s tires and transmit tire pressure readings to areceiver located in the vehicle.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should bechecked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflationpressure recommended by the vehicle manufactureron the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the sizeindicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflationpressure label, you should determine the proper tireinflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has beenequipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when oneor more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltaleilluminates, you should stop and check your tires assoon as possible, and inflate them to the properpressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tirecauses the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tiretread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handlingand stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for propertire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility tomaintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation hasnot reached the level to trigger illumination of theTPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMSmalfunction indicator to indicate when the system is notoperating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicatoris combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When thesystem detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash forapproximately one minute and then remain continuouslyilluminated. This sequence will continue uponsubsequent vehicle start-ups as long as themalfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, thesystem may not be able to detect or signal low tirepressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur fora variety of reasons, including the installation ofreplacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehiclethat prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale afterreplacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle toensure that the replacement or alternate tires andwheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System(TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driverwhen a low tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensorsare mounted onto each tire and wheel assembly,excluding the spare tire and wheel assembly. The TPMSsensors monitor the air pressure in the vehicle’s tiresand transmits the tire pressure readings to a receiverlocated in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressurecondition is detected, theTPMS illuminates thelow tire pressure warninglight located on theinstrument panel cluster.

•The TPMS sensor matching process was started
but not completed or not completed successfullyafter rotating the vehicle’s tires. The DIC messageand TPMS malfunction light should go off oncethe TPMS sensor matching process is performedsuccessfully. See “TPMS Sensor Matching Process”later in this section.
•One or more TPMS sensors are missing or
damaged. The DIC message and the TPMSmalfunction light should go off when the TPMSsensors are installed and the sensor matchingprocess is performed successfully. See yourdealer/retailer for service.
•Replacement tires or wheels do not match your
vehicle’s original equipment tires or wheels.Tires and wheels other than those recommendedfor your vehicle could prevent the TPMS fromfunctioning properly. SeeBuying New Tires onpage 6-64.
•Operating electronic devices or being near facilities
using radio wave frequencies similar to the TPMScould cause the TPMS sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning it cannot detect or signala low tire condition. See your dealer/retailer forservice if the TPMS malfunction light and DIC messagecomes on and stays on.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code.Any time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or replace one ormore of the TPMS sensors, the identification codeswill need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.The sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positionsin the following order: driver side front tire, passengerside front tire, passenger side rear tire, and driverside rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See yourdealer/retailer for service.
The TPMS sensors can also be matched to eachtire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’sair pressure. If increasing the tire’s air pressure, donot exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated onthe tire’s sidewall.
To decrease air-pressure out of a tire you can use thepointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressuregage, or a key.
You have two minutes to match the first tire/wheelposition, and five minutes overall to match all fourtire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than two minutes,to match the first tire and wheel, or more than fiveminutes to match all four tire and wheel positions thematching process stops and you need to start over.

Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse block protect the powerwindows and other power accessories. When the currentload is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens andcloses, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed orgoes away.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected fromshort circuits by a combination of fuses and circuitbreakers. This greatly reduces the chance of firescaused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If theband is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure youreplace a bad fuse with a new one of the identicalsize and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t havea spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the sameamperage. Just pick some feature of the vehicle that youcan get along without — like the radio or cigarettelighter — and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.Replace it as soon as you can.
Underhood Fuse Block
The underhood fuse block is located on the passengerside of the engine compartment. Remove the fusecover and secondary service cover to access thefuse block.
Notice:Spilling liquid on any electrical componentson the vehicle may damage it. Always keep thecovers on any electrical component.

Vehicle Data Recording and
Privacy
Your GM vehicle has a number of sophisticatedcomputers that record information about the vehicle’sperformance and how it is driven. For example,your vehicle uses computer modules to monitor andcontrol engine and transmission performance, to monitorthe conditions for airbag deployment and deployairbags in a crash and, if so equipped, to provideantilock braking to help the driver control the vehicle.These modules may store data to help yourdealer/retailer technician service your vehicle. Somemodules may also store data about how you operate thevehicle, such as rate of fuel consumption or averagespeed. These modules may also retain the owner’spersonal preferences, such as radio pre-sets, seatpositions, and temperature settings.
