Instruments and Controls 91
When the vehicle is started, this light
flashes and a chime may come on to remind
passengers to fasten their seat belt.
Then the light stays on solid until the belt is
buckled. This cycle continues several times if
the front passenger remains or becomes
unbuckled while the vehicle is moving.
If the front passenger seat belt is buckled,
neither the chime nor the light comes on.
The front passenger seat belt reminder light
and chime may come on if an object is put
on the seat such as a briefcase, handbag,
grocery bag, laptop, or other electronic
device. To turn off the reminder light and/or
chime, remove the object from the seat or
buckle the seat belt.
Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an electrical
problem with the airbag system. The system
check includes the airbag sensor(s), the
passenger sensing system, the pretensioners,the airbag modules, the wiring, and the
crash sensing and diagnostic module. For
more information on the airbag system, see
Airbag System
048.
The airbag readiness light comes on for
several seconds when the vehicle is started.
If the light does not come on then, have it
fixed immediately.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays on
after the vehicle is started or comes on
while driving, it means the airbag system
might not be working properly. The
airbags in the vehicle might not inflate in
a crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid injury,
have the vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center (DIC)
message may also come on.

See Passenger Sensing System 054 for
important safety information. The overhead
console has a passenger airbag status
indicator.

126 Infotainment System
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
provides digital radio reception. 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 SiriusXM
signal for a period of time. Some cellular
services may interfere with SXM reception
causing loss of signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as making or
receiving calls, charging, or just having the
mobile device on may cause static
interference in the radio. Unplug the mobile
device or turn it off if this happens.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna is for AM, FM, SiriusXM
Satellite Radio, OnStar, and GPS (Global
Positioning System). Keep clear of
obstructions for clear reception. If the
vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open,
reception can also be affected.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted Media Devices
When using media devices such as SD cards,
USB devices, and mobile devices, consider
the source. Untrusted media devices could
contain files that affect system operation or
performance. Avoid use if the content or
origin cannot be trusted.
USB Port
Audio stored on a USB device may be
listened to.
The vehicle may be equipped with two USB
ports in the center console. These ports are
for data and charging.
Caution
To avoid vehicle damage, unplug all
accessories and disconnect all accessory
cables from the vehicle when not in use.
Accessory cables left plugged into the
vehicle, unconnected to a device, could be
damaged or cause an electrical short if
the unconnected end comes in contact
with liquids or another power source such
as the accessory power outlet.
Playing from a USB
A USB mass storage device can be connected
to the USB port.
Audio extensions supported by the USB may
include:
.MP3
.AAC
.OGG
.3GP
Gracenote
When plugging in a USB device, Gracenote
service builds voice tags for music. Voice
tags allow artists, albums with hard to
pronounce names, and nicknames to be used
to play music through voice recognition,
if equipped.
While indexing, infotainment features may
be available.
My Media Library
MyMedia is only available when more than
one indexed device is connected. It allows
access to content from all indexed media
sources. MyMedia will show as an available
source in the Source page.

220 Driving and Operating
While in the Sport and/or Track Modes, the
vehicle monitors driving behavior and
automatically enables Performance Shift
Features in the automatic transmission
when spirited driving is detected. These
features maintain lower transmission gears
to increase available engine braking and
improve acceleration response. The vehicle
will exit these features and return to normal
operation after a short period when no
spirited driving is detected.
Driver Mode Control SwitchThe Driver Mode Control has three or four
modes: Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice, and Track.
Press
yorzon the MODE switch on the
center console to make a mode selection.
Pressing the switch will display the moding
menu in the instrument cluster with all
available ride modes. Every switch press will
select and activate the next available mode.
When Sport, Snow/Ice, or Track Mode is
selected, a unique and persistent indicator
will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Tour Mode
Use for normal city and highway driving to
provide a smooth, soft ride. This setting
provides a balanced setting between comfort
and handling. This is the standard mode.
Sport Mode
Use where road conditions or personal
preference demand a more controlled
response.
When Sport Mode is selected, the
transmission may downshift to a lower gear
for better performance. The transmission
will continue to shift automatically but can
hold a lower gear longer than it would in
the Tour Mode based on braking, throttle input, and vehicle lateral acceleration. See
Automatic Transmission
0209. The steering
will change to provide more precise control.
If the vehicle has Magnetic Ride Control, the
suspension will change to provide better
cornering performance. If the vehicle is
equipped with Active Exhaust, the exhaust
valves will open earlier and more often.
Competitive Driving Mode can be accessed
through this mode by pressing
Yon the
console twice.
This Competitive Driving Mode is only on SS,
1LE, and ZL1 vehicles. For example, a vehicle
with a V6 engine and automatic
transmission will have Sport Mode, but will
not be able to access Competitive
Driving Mode.
Snow/Ice Mode
If equipped, use when more traction is
needed during slippery conditions. The
automatic transmission will upshift normally
when the vehicle is moving. The acceleration
will adjust to help provide a smoother
launch. The automatic transmission will also
shift differently to assist in maintaining
traction.

Launch Control (when in Competitive
Driving Mode)
Available only in Sport and Track Modes for
maximum“off-the-line” acceleration when in
Competitive Driving Mode.
For more information, see Track Events and
Competitive Driving 0188.
Competitive Driving Mode (SS,
ZL1 and 1LE Models Only)
Competitive Driving Mode and Launch
Control are systems designed to allow
increased performance while accelerating
and/or cornering. This is accomplished by
regulating and optimizing the engine,
brakes, and suspension performance. These
modes are for use at a closed course race
track and are not intended for use on public
roads. They will not compensate for a
driver’s inexperience or lack of familiarity
with the race track. Drivers who prefer to
allow the system to have more control of
the engine, brakes, and suspension are
advised to turn the normal TCS and
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
systems on.
Caution
Attempting to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning and do not have
traction may cause damage to the
transmission. Damage caused by misuse
of the vehicle is not covered by the
vehicle warranty. Do not attempt to shift
when the drive wheels do not have
traction.
Competitive Driving Mode allows full engine
power while the StabiliTrak/ESC system
helps maintain directional control of the
vehicle by selective brake application. In this
mode, TCS is off and Launch Control is
available. Adjust your driving style to
account for the available engine power. See
“Launch Control” later in this section.
These lights are on when the vehicle is in
the Competitive Driving Mode.
This optional handling mode can be selected
by pressing the TCS/StabiliTrak/ESC button
on the console two times. The appropriate
message displays in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
