6-2 Lighting
Flash-to-Pass
This feature is used to signal to the
vehicle ahead that you want
to pass.
If the headlamps are off or in the
low‐beam position, pull the turn
signal lever toward you to
momentarily switch to high beams.
Release the lever to turn the
high-beam headlamps off.
Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to
see the front of your vehicle during
the day.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.The DRL system makes the
low-beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness when the
following conditions are met:
.The ignition is in the ON
position.
.The exterior lamp control is in
the OFF position.
.The parking brake is released.
If the parking brake is applied
before the engine is started, the
DRL do not come on.
When the DRL are on, only the
low-beam headlamps, at a reduced
level of brightness, will be on. The
taillamps, sidemarker, instrument
panel, and other lamps will not
be on.
Turn the exterior lamp control to
the
;or5position for full
illumination when driving at night.
The DRL remain on until the ignition
switch is placed in the OFF position.
Hazard Warning Flashers
The hazard warning switch is on the
center stack below the climate
control system.
Press this button to make the front
and rear turn signal lamps flash on
and off. This warns others that you
are having trouble. Press again to
turn the flashers off.
The hazard warning flashers work
with the ignition switch in any
position.
Some localities may prohibit the use
of the hazard warning flashers while
driving.

Driving and Operating 9-25
2. Pull the parking brake handle upuntil you can press the release
button.
3. Hold the release button in as you move the brake handle all
the way down.
{Caution
Driving with the parking brake on
can overheat the brake system
and cause premature wear or
damage to brake system parts.
Make sure that the parking brake
is fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
Parking Brake Break-in
Break-in the brake shoes whenever
the effect of the parking brake is
weakened or whenever the brake
shoes and/or drums are replaced, in
order to assure the best brake
performance. This procedure can be
performed at the dealer.
Ride Control Systems
Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control
System Operation
The vehicle has a Traction Control
System (TCS) and Electronic
Stability Control, an electronic
stability control system. These
systems use various sensors to
monitor driver inputs and vehicle
motion. Under certain driving
conditions, the TCS and Electronic
Stability Control systems help to
perform the following functions:
.Control brake pressure to reduce
wheel slip on one slipping drive
wheel so power is transferred to
a non–slipping drive wheel on
the same axle.
.Control brake pressure and
engine output to reduce drive
wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function).
.Control brake pressure at
individual wheels and engine
output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the
following conditions:
‐ Understeer (vehicle tends to
not follow the steered path
despite increased steering
input)
‐ Oversteer (vehicle tends to
spin due to certain road or
driving conditions)
TCS and Electronic Stability Control
can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but cannot
prevent loss of vehicle control in all
driving situations.
When the TCS and Electronic
Stability Control systems operate,
the
dindicator in the instrument
cluster flashes to note the following:
.The road may be slippery or the
system may determine some
action is required to help keep
the vehicle on the steered path.

10-46 Vehicle Care
Each new wheel should have the
same load-carrying capacity,
diameter, width, offset, and be
mounted the same way as the one it
replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel
nuts, or Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) sensors with new
GM original equipment parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong replacement
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts can be dangerous. It could
affect the braking and handling of
the vehicle. Tires can lose air,
and cause loss of control, causing
a crash. Always use the correct
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for replacement.
{Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp
aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or tire
chain clearance to the body and
chassis.
Used Replacement Wheels
{Warning
Replacing a wheel with a used
one is dangerous. How it has
been used or how far it has been
driven may be unknown. It could
fail suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use a
new GM original equipment
wheel.
Tire Chains
{Warning
Do not use tire chains. There is
not enough clearance. Tire chains
used on a vehicle without the
proper amount of clearance can
cause damage to the brakes,
suspension, or other vehicle
parts. The area damaged by the
tire chains could cause loss of
control and a crash.
Use another type of traction
device only if its manufacturer
recommends it for the vehicle's
tire size combination and road
conditions. Follow that
manufacturer's instructions. To
avoid vehicle damage, drive slow
and readjust or remove the
traction device if it contacts the
vehicle. Do not spin the wheels.
If traction devices are used, install
them on the front tires.
