The vehicle identifies the number of
the current driver ’ s RKE transmitter
(1 – 8). See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation 0 8 . If the
RKE transmitter is 1 or 2, and Auto
Memory Recall is enabled in vehicle
personalization, the positions saved
to the same memory button number
1 or 2 are automatically recalled
when the vehicle is turned on,
or turned from off to ACC/
ACCESSORY. RKE transmitters 3 – 8
will not provide automatic memory
recalls.
To turn Auto Memory Recall on or
off, see “ Vehicle Personalization
Settings ” previously in this section
and Vehicle Personalization 0 133 .
The shift lever must be in P (Park)

does not automatically recall or
recalls to the wrong positions, the
driver ’ s RKE transmitter number (1
or 2) may not match the memory
button number that positions were
saved to. Try storing the position to
the other memory button or try the
other RKE transmitter.
Easy Exit Recall
Easy Exit Recall is not linked to an
RKE transmitter. The position saved
to
B is used for all drivers. To turn
Easy Exit Recall on or off, see

Seats and Restraints 41
Heated and Ventilated
Front Seats
{ WarningIf temperature change or pain to
the skin cannot be felt, the seat
heater may cause burns. To
reduce the risk of burns, use care
when using the seat heater,
especially for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on
the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket, cushion,
cover, or similar item. This may
cause the seat heater to
overheat. An overheated seat
heater may cause a burn or may
damage the seat. If equipped, the buttons are near the
climate controls. To operate, the
engine must be running.
Press
J or
z to heat the driver or
passenger seat cushion and
seatback.
The passenger seat may take
longer to heat up.
Press
C or
{ to ventilate the driver
or passenger seat. Press the button once for the
highest setting. With each press of
the button, the heated and
ventilated seat will change to the
next lower setting, and then the off
setting. Three lights indicate the
highest setting, and one light
indicates the lowest.
If the heated seats are on high, the
level may automatically be lowered
after approximately 30 minutes.
Remote Start Auto Heated and
Ventilated Seats
The heated and ventilated seats can
be programmed to turn on
automatically during a remote
vehicle start when conditions allow.
The heated seat function can be
programmed to come on when
ENGINE START/STOP is pressed
under certain conditions. See
Vehicle Personalization 0 133 .
Press the heated or ventilated seat
button to use the heated or
ventilated seats after the vehicle is
started.

Storage 93
Roof Rack System
{ WarningIf 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. CautionLoading 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. Do not load cargo
exceeding 100 kg (220 lb) and
always load cargo so that it rests
evenly between the crossrails and
does not block the vehicle lamps
or windows. Fasten the 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. Do not exceed the maximum
vehicle capacity when loading the
vehicle. For more information on
vehicle capacity and loading, see
Vehicle Load Limits 0 169 .

{ Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always
clear snow and ice from the hood,
windshield, roof, and rear of the
(Continued) Warning (Continued) vehicle, including all lamps and
windows. Reduced visibility from
snow and ice buildup could lead
to a crash.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades before using them. If frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen or
thaw them. Damaged blades should
be replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement 0 252 .
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor.
Wipe Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the

engine could auto start at any time.
When the indicator points to OFF,
the vehicle is off.
When the engine is on, the
tachometer will indicate the engine ’ s
revolutions per minute (rpm). The
tachometer may vary by several
hundred rpm ’ s, during Auto Stop
mode, when the engine is shutting
off and restarting.
Caution
If the engine is operated with the

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.
