Roof Rack System

{

WARNING

If 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.

For vehicles with a roof rack, the
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/retailer
for additional information.

Notice: Loading cargo on the
roof rack that weighs more than
91 kg (200 lbs) or hangs over the
rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage the vehicle. Load cargo
so that it rests evenly between
the crossrails, making sure to
fasten 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 on page 9‑10.

Compass

Center (DIC) (With DIC Buttons) on
page 5‑24 or Driver Information
Center (DIC) (Without DIC Buttons)
on page 5‑30 for more information
about the DIC.

Compass Zone

The zone is set to zone eight upon
leaving the factory. Your dealer/
retailer will set the correct zone for
your location.

Under certain circumstances, such
as during a long distance
cross-country trip or moving to a
new state or province, it will be
necessary to compensate for
compass variance by resetting the
zone through the DIC if the zone is
not set correctly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instruments and Controls

5-7

Compass variance is the difference
between the earth's magnetic north
and true geographic north. If the
compass is not set to the zone
where you live, the compass may
give false readings. The compass
must be set to the variance zone in
which the vehicle is traveling.

To adjust for compass variance, use
the following procedure:

Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure

1. Do not set the compass zone

when the vehicle is moving. Only
set it when the vehicle is in
P (Park).

Press the vehicle information
button until PRESS

CHANGE COMPASS ZONE
displays.

2. Find the vehicle's current

location and variance zone
number on the map.

Zones 1 through 15 are
available.

3. Press the set/reset button to

scroll through and select the
appropriate variance zone.

4. Press the trip/fuel button until

the vehicle heading, for
example, N for North, is
displayed in the DIC.

5. If calibration is necessary,

calibrate the compass. See
“Compass Calibration
Procedure” following.

Compass Calibration

The compass can be manually
calibrated. Only calibrate the
compass in a magnetically clean
and safe location, such as an open
parking lot, where driving the
vehicle in circles is not a danger.
It is suggested to calibrate away
from tall buildings, utility wires,
manhole covers, or other industrial
structures, if possible.

If CAL should ever appear in the
DIC display, the compass should be
calibrated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5-8

Instruments and Controls

If the DIC display does not show a
heading, for example, N for North,
or the heading does not change
after making turns, there may be a
strong magnetic field interfering with
the compass. Such interference
may be caused by a magnetic CB or
cell phone antenna mount, a
magnetic emergency light, magnetic
note pad holder, or any other
magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle,
move the magnetic item, then turn
on the vehicle and calibrate the
compass.

To calibrate the compass, use the
following procedure:

Compass Calibration Procedure

1. Before calibrating the compass,

make sure the compass zone is
set to the variance zone in which
the vehicle is located. See
“Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure” earlier in this
section.

Do not operate any switches
such as window, sunroof,
climate controls, seats, etc.
during the calibration procedure.

2. Press the vehicle information

button until PRESS

CALIBRATE COMPASS
displays.

3. Press the set/reset button to

start the compass calibration.

4. The DIC will display

CALIBRATING: DRIVE IN
CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in
tight circles at less than 5 mph
(8 km/h) to complete the
calibration. The DIC will display
CALIBRATION COMPLETE for a
few seconds when the
calibration is complete. The DIC
display will then return to the
previous menu.

Power Outlets

The vehicle has three 12-volt outlets
which can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a
cellular telephone, a compact disc
player, etc.

The power outlets are located on
the instrument panel below the
climate controls, at the rear of the
center console, and in the rear
cargo area. Lift the cover to access
the outlet. Close the cover when not
using the outlet.

Notice: Leaving electrical
equipment plugged in for an
extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the
battery. Power is always supplied
to the outlets. Always unplug
electrical equipment when not in
use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum
20 ampere rating.

Certain accessory plugs may not be
compatible to the accessory power
outlet and could result in blown
vehicle and adapter fuses. If a
problem is experienced, see your
dealer/retailer for additional
information on the power accessory
outlets.

Notice: Adding any electrical
equipment to the vehicle can
damage it or keep other
components from working as
they should. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not use equipment
exceeding maximum amperage
rating of 20 amperes. Check with
your dealer/retailer before adding
electrical equipment.
