Express Window Anti-Pinch
Feature
If any object is in the path of the
window when express-up is active,
the window stops at the obstacle
and auto-reverses to a preset
factory position. Weather conditions
such as severe icing also cause the
window to auto-reverse. The
window returns to normal operation
once the obstacle or condition is
removed.
Express Window Anti-Pinch
Override
{Warning
If express override is activated,
the window will not reverse
automatically. You or others could
be injured and the window could
be damaged. Before you use
express override, make sure that
all people and obstructions are
clear of the window path.
The anti-pinch feature can be
overridden in a supervised mode.
Hold the window switch in the
partially or fully pulled up position.
The window rises for as long as the
switch is held. Once the switch is
released, the express mode is
reactivated.
In this mode, the window can still
close on an object in its path. Use
care when using the override mode.

112 Storage
On long wheelbase models there
are two cover positions. The slots
furthest forward allow the cover to
be used if the third seat is removed
or folded down. The cover can be
installed and removed from
either side.Roof Rack System
{Warning
If something is carried on top of
the vehicle that is longer or wider
than the roof rack—like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress —the
wind can catch it while the vehicle
is being driven. The item being
carried could be violently torn off,
and this could cause a collision
and damage the vehicle. Never
carry something longer or wider
than the roof rack on top of the
vehicle unless using a GM
certified accessory carrier.
If equipped, the roof rack can be
used to load items. For roof racks
that do not have crossrails included,
GM Certified crossrails can be
purchased as an accessory. See
your dealer for additional
information.
Caution
Loading cargo on the roof rack
that weighs more than 100 kg
(220 lb) or hangs over the rear or
sides of the vehicle may damage
the vehicle. Load cargo so that it
rests evenly between the
crossrails, making sure to fasten
cargo securely.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo
when driving, check to make sure
crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle’ s center
of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking, or abrupt maneuvers,
otherwise it may result in loss of
control. If driving for a long distance,
on rough roads, or at high speeds,
occasionally stop the vehicle to
make sure the cargo remains in its
place.

w(Low Speed) :Slow wipes.
3INT (Intermittent Wipes) : Turn
the
zFRONT band up for more
frequent wipes or down for less
frequent wipes.
OFF : Turns the windshield
wipers off.
8(Mist) : For a single wipe,
turn to

Clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen or
thaw them. Damaged wiper blades
should be replaced. See Wiper
Blade Replacement 0278.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. An internal circuit
breaker to the motor will stop the
motor until it cools down.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are on
w,1, or3INT,
they will immediately stop.
If
zFRONT is then moved to
OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield. If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing or Rainsense,
the wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.
Rainsense™
With Rainsense, a sensor near the
top center of the windshield detects
the amount of water on the
windshield and controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
3INT (Rainsense Wipe
Sensitivity) : Turn the
zFRONT
band on the wiper lever to adjust the
sensitivity when Rainsense is
turned on.

not used to perform an Emissions
Inspection/Maintenance test or to
service the vehicle may affect
vehicle operation SeeAdd-On
Electrical Equipment 0257. See
your dealer if assistance is needed.
The vehicle may not pass
inspection if:
. The light is on when the engine
is running.
. The light does not come on
when the ignition is in Service
Only Mode.
. Critical emission control systems
have not been completely
diagnosed. If this happens, the
vehicle would not be ready for
inspection and might require
several days of routine driving
before the system is ready for
inspection. This can happen if
the 12-volt battery has recently
been replaced or run down, or if
the vehicle has been recently
serviced.
See your dealer if the vehicle will
not pass or cannot be made ready
for the test.Brake System Warning
Light
The vehicle brake system consists
of two hydraulic circuits. If one
circuit is not working, the remaining
circuit can still work to stop the
vehicle. For normal braking
performance, both circuits need to
be working.
If the warning light comes on, there
is a brake problem. Have the brake
system inspected right away.
This light should come on briefly
when the engine is started. If it does
not come on then, have it fixed so it
will be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light also comes on
when the parking brake is set. The
light stays on if the parking brake does not fully release. If it stays on
after the parking brake is fully
released, it means the vehicle has a
brake problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
The pedal might be harder to push,
or the pedal can go closer to the
floor. It may take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. See
Towing the Vehicle
0318.
{Warning
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on.
Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to a
crash. If the light is still on after
the vehicle has been pulled off
the road and carefully stopped,
have the vehicle towed for
service.
