{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always clear
snow and ice from the hood, windshield,
washer nozzles, roof, and rear of the
vehicle, including all lamps and windows.
Reduced visibility from snow and ice
buildup could lead to a crash.
Wiper Parking
If the vehicle is turned off while the wipers
are on LO, HI, or INT, they will
immediately stop.
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 turned off while the wipers
are performing wipes due to windshield
washing, the wipers continue to run until
they reach the base of the windshield.
Rain Sense
If equipped with Rain Sense and the feature
is turned on, 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.
To turn the Rain Sense feature on or off, see
“Rain Sense Wipers” under Settings >
Vehicle > Comfort and Convenience > Rain
Sense > Enable/Disable.
If Rain Sense is enabled in Settings, turning
the wiper lever to INT will activate Rain
Sense.
Clock
Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time/Date" under
Settings 0166.

To close the front A/C vents, move the
sliding knobs to the full down position for
vertical slats or away from you for
horizontal slats.
To close the rear A/C vents, move the
sliding knobs to the full inboard position.
Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from
air inlets at the base of the windshield
that could block airflow.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Keep the path under the front seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside
of the vehicle more effectively.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
can adversely affect system performance.
Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of the vehicle.
.Do not attach any devices to the air vent
slats. Doing so restricts airflow and may
cause damage to the air vents.
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The filter reduces the dust, pollen, and other
airborne irritants from outside air that is
pulled into the vehicle.
The filter should be replaced as part of
routine scheduled maintenance. See
Maintenance Schedule0389. To find out
what type of filter to use, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts 0392.

Driving and Operating 213
Service Mode is recommended when the
vehicle is put on a hoist or a floor jack is
used to raise a corner. Service Mode
automatically disables when the vehicle
speeds up.
Alignment Mode
Alignment Mode will optimize the vehicle
height to provide the most accurate wheel
alignment. This mode should be enabled
once the vehicle is driven onto the
alignment station.
To enable Alignment Mode, ensure the
vehicle is at Normal Height and shift the
vehicle to N (Neutral). Alignment Mode
automatically disables when the vehicle
speeds up.
Air Suspension Operation with Door(s) or
Hood Open
The air suspension will temporarily suspend
all height changes while the hood or any
door is open.
System Over-Temperature
If the air suspension is under heavy use, the
system may temporarily suspend all height
changes to allow the compressor to cool
down. When this occurs and a heightchange is requested, the message LEVELING
SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE will display in the
instrument cluster.
Air Suspension Service
If a SERVICE LEVELING SYSTEM message
displays in the instrument cluster, see your
authorized dealer immediately.
Cruise Control
If equipped, cruise control allows the vehicle
to maintain a set speed of 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without active
acceleration. Cruise control does not work at
speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph).
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady
speed. Do not use cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
Cruise control will disengage if:
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system begins to limit wheel spin.
See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0207.
.TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
.A collision alert occurs. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0261.
.The brakes are applied.
When road conditions allow cruise control to
be safely used, cruise control can be turned
back on.

Warning (Continued)
High voltage components are identified
by labels. Do not remove, open, take
apart, or modify these components. High
voltage cable or wiring has orange
covering. Do not probe, tamper with, cut,
or modify high voltage cable or wiring.
{Warning
Unexpected wheel motion and/or
direction when one or more wheels are
off the ground for service work may
result in injury. The vehicle may:
.Allow the wheels to rotate
unexpectedly in either direction
regardless of mode selection.
.Allow the wheels to rotate in reaction
to attempts to rotate the tire(s)
manually.
.Resist attempts to rotate the wheels
manually.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Before lifting the vehicle to do your own
service work, turn the vehicle off or place
the vehicle in the Service Mode. To place
the vehicle in Service Mode, see “Service
Mode” underPower Modes 0197.
{Warning
It can be dangerous to work on your
vehicle if you do not have the proper
knowledge, service manual, tools,
or parts. Always follow owner’s manual
procedures and consult the service
manual for your vehicle before doing any
service work.
If doing some of your own service work, use
the proper service manual. It tells you much
more about how to service the vehicle than
this manual can. To order the proper service
manual, see Publication Ordering
Information 0404. This vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to do your own service work,

Cooling System
It is not necessary to regularly check coolant
unless a leak is suspected or an unusual
noise is heard. A coolant loss could indicate
a problem. Have it inspected and repaired
by your dealer.
The following explains the cooling system
and how to check coolant level.
During vehicle operation and also during
charging, the high voltage battery cells in
the vehicle are kept within a normal
operating temperature range. If the
temperature rises above this temperature, the battery cooling system turns on the air
conditioning compressor and cools the
coolant until the correct temperature is
reached. If the temperature falls below this
temperature, a high voltage heater, located
outside the battery on a cradle, heats the
coolant until the correct temperature is
reached.
Checking Coolant
The coolant needs to be replaced at the
appropriate interval. See
Maintenance
Schedule 0389.
The coolant reservoir is in the underhood
compartment. See Underhood Compartment
Overview 0325.
To access the coolant reservoir under the
hood, the right side access cover needs to
be removed. 1. Park on a level surface and turn the vehicle off.
2. Open the hood. See Hood019.
3. Turn the three bolts three quarter turn
and remove the right side access cover.
