Remote Start
This feature starts the heating
or air conditioning systems
and the rear window defogger
from outside the vehicle.
If the outside temperature is
below 7°C (45°F), and the rear
window defogger is on, the
area of the windshield beneath the windshield wipers
will warm up to melt
accumulated snow or ice.
Use remote start to heat or
cool the interior when the
vehicle is plugged in to
maximize electric range by
utilizing electricity from the
electrical outlet. Normal
system operation will return
after the vehicle has been
turned on.

This button is on the
remote key.
The climate control system will
use the previous settings
during a remote start. The
rear defog may come on
during a remote start based
on cold ambient conditions.

It is activated when the vehicle
is shifted into a forward gear,
N (Neutral), or R (Reverse), up
to 34 km/h (21 mph).
Windshield Wiper/
Washer
This vehicle is equipped with
Rainsense and 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 based on the
current sensitivity setting. Keep this area of the
windshield clear of debris to
allow for best system
performance.

the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be
replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement0320.
{Warning

always clear snow and ice
from the hood, windshield,
washer nozzles, roof, and
rear of the vehicle, including
all lamps and windows.

102 Instruments and Controls
Wiper Parking
If the vehicle is off while the
wipers are on LO or HI, they
will immediately stop.
LL
If the windshield wiper lever 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 vehicle is 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.Rear Camera Washer
If equipped, turn the band to
Yto spray washer fluid on the
rear camera lens. Release the
band when done. See Rear
Camera Mirror 030.
Compass
The vehicle may have a
compass display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
compass receives its heading
and other information from
the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information. 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
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using
the infotainment system. See
"Time/Date" under Settings

Lighting 143
For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the DRL can only be
turned off when the vehicle is
parked.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When the exterior lamp
control is set to Auto and it is
dark enough outside, the
headlamps come on
automatically.
There is a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Do
not cover the sensor.The system may also turn on
the headlamps when driving
through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a
dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light
outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a
slight delay before the
automatic headlamp system
changes to the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL). During
that delay, the instrument
cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright
position. See Instrument Panel
Illumination Control
0146.
When it is bright enough
outside, the headlamps will
turn off or may change
to DRL.
The automatic headlamp
system turns off when the
exterior lamp control is set to
On or the vehicle is off.
Lamps On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are
activated in daylight with the
vehicle on and the exterior
lamp control is set to Auto, the
headlamps, parking lamps, and
other exterior lamps come on.
The transition time for the
lamps coming on varies based
on wiper speed. When the
wipers are not operating,
these lamps turn off. Set the
exterior lamp control to On or
Off to disable this feature.
Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL)
If equipped with the AFL
system, the high-beam
headlamps move horizontally
while turning the steering
wheel to provide greater road
illumination around curves.

188 Climate Controls
Press AUTO to return to
automatic operation and the
air conditioner runs as needed.
@:Press to alternate
between recirculating air
inside the vehicle or pulling in
outside air. The indicator light
on the button is lit when
recirculation mode is active.
This helps to quickly cool the
air inside the vehicle and
reduce the entry of outside air
and odors.
Pressing this button cancels
automatic recirculation. Press
AUTO to return to automatic
operation; recirculation runs
automatically as needed.
Manual recirculation mode is
not available when in Defrost.
The climate control system
uses a sensor to automatically
detect high humidity inside the
vehicle. When high humidity is
detected, the climate control
system may adjust to outside
air supply, turn on the heater
and air conditioner, increase fan and temperature, and
direct more air to the
windshield. When the climate
control system does not
detect possible window
fogging, it returns to normal
operation. To turn Auto Defog
off or on, select Settings >
Climate and Air Quality > Auto
Defog > Select ON or OFF.
If Auto Defog is turned off,
or fogging does not clear
quickly enough, select
dto
more quickly clear the
windshield.
Rear Window Defogger
K: Press to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. An
indicator light on the button
comes on to show that the
rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger
only works when the vehicle is
on. If the outside temperature
is below 7°C (45°F), and the
rear window defogger is on,
the area of the windshield beneath the windshield wipers
will warm up to melt
accumulated snow or ice.
The rear window defogger can
be set to automatic operation.
When Auto Rear Defog is
selected, the rear window
defogger turns on
automatically when the vehicle
is first started in cold weather
and turns off when the vehicle
is warmed. To turn Auto Rear
Defog off or on, select
Settings > Climate and Air
Quality > Auto Rear Defog >
Select ON or OFF.
The heated outside rearview
mirrors turn on when the rear
window defogger button is on
and help to clear fog or frost
from the surface of the
mirrors.
Caution
Do not try to clear frost or
other material from the
inside of the front
windshield and rear window

4. If the fuse must be replacedimmediately, borrow a
replacement fuse with the
same amperage from the
fuse block. Choose a vehicle
feature that is not needed
to safely operate the
vehicle. Repeat Steps 2–3.
5. Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of the
blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see
your dealer to replace the
blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may
cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain
off. Have the headlamp wiring
checked right away if the
lamps go on and off or
remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the
windshield wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will
then restart.
Although the circuit is
protected from electrical
overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause
wiper linkage damage. Always
clear ice and heavy snow from
the windshield before using
the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not
snow or ice, be sure to get it
fixed.
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in the
vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit breakers.
This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by
electrical problems.
{Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers
are marked with
their ampere rating. Do not
exceed the
specified amperage rating
when replacing fuses and
circuit breakers. Use of an
oversized fuse or circuit
breaker can result in a
vehicle fire. You and others
could be seriously injured or
killed.
{Warning
Installation or use of fuses
that do not meet GM’s
original fuse specifications is
dangerous. The fuses could
fail, and result in a fire. You (Continued)
