SeeWasher Fluid on page 10‑24 for
information on filling the windshield
washer fluid.
{WARNING
In freezing weather, do not
use your washer until the
windshield is warmed. Otherwise
the washer fluid can form ice on
the windshield, blocking your
vision.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass
receives its heading and other
information from Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak,
and vehicle speed information. Avoid covering the GPS antenna
for long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
See
Multi-Band Antenna on
page 7‑19 for the location of the
vehicle's antennas. The compass
system is designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or degrees
of turn before needing a signal
from the GPS satellites. When the
compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can receive
a GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again. See Compass
Messages on page 5‑34 for more
information on the messages that
may be displayed for the compass.
Clock (Analog Clock)
The analog clock is located on the
instrument panel above the radio.
The clock is not connected with any
other vehicle system and runs by
itself. To adjust the clock:
1. Locate the adjustment buttons directly below the clock face.
2. Push and hold either adjustment button to advance or reverse the
clock hands. Holding the buttons
down will cause the clock to
advance faster. Release the
buttons before reaching the
desired time.
3. Push and release the buttons to increase the time by one minute
increments until the desired time
is reached.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 miles). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit
that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
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 tunnels may
cause loss of the XM signal for a
period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is on the
roof of the vehicle. The antenna
is used for the AM/FM radio,
OnStar, the XM Satellite Radio
Service System, and GPS (Global
Positioning System), if the vehicle
has these features. Keep the
antenna clear of obstructions
for clear reception.

9-18 Driving and Operating
Adjust the throttle and brake pedals
while the vehicle is in P (Park)
without pressing on the pedals.
The pedals cannot be adjusted
while the vehicle is in R (Reverse)
or when cruise control is engaged.
The throttle and brake pedals can
also be adjusted while driving.
Ignition Positions
The vehicle has an electronic
keyless ignition with push‐button
start.Pressing the button cycles it through
three modes, ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START and STOPPING
THE ENGINE/OFF.
If the push-button start is not
working, the vehicle may be near a
strong radio antenna signal causing
interference to the keyless entry
system. See
Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 5‑28 for
more information.
To shift out of P (Park), the vehicle
must be in ACC/ACCESSORY or
ON/RUN mode and the brake pedal
must be applied.
STOPPING THE ENGINE/OFF
(No LED Lights): When the
vehicle is stopped, press the engine
START/STOP button once to turn
the engine off. If the vehicle is in P (Park), the
ignition will turn OFF, and Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) will remain
active. See
Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 9‑22 for
more information.
If the vehicle is not in P (Park),
the ignition will return to ACC/
ACCESSORY and display the
message SHIFT TO PARK in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
See Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 5‑28 for more information.
When the vehicle is shifted into
P (Park), the ignition system will
switch to OFF.
Do not turn the engine off when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause
a loss of power assist in the brake
and steering systems and disable
the airbags.
