Unique Vehicle Characteristics

UNIQUE VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS

The purpose of this section is to familiarize you with some of the unique characteristic of the vehicle. The following functions may operate differently than what the customers are used to and are considered normal.

Remote Vehicle Start (HVAC Operation)





On remote start, automatic HVAC equipped vehicles will adjust cabin temperature and turn on defoggers according to outside temperature and default back to the previous key off setting when the key is inserted and rotated forward. Refer to the table for system operation.

Rear Electronic Climate Control





If the vehicle has this feature, the rear system is controlled through the AUX button on the front climate control panel. Press the AUX button to turn the system on or off. An indicator light near the AUX button comes on when the rear climate control system is on. The display on the rear control panel will NOT light up until one of the buttons are pressed.

Heated Windshield Washer Fluid (RPO XA7)

When the heated windshield washer fluid system is activated under certain outside temperature conditions, steam may flow out of the washer nozzles for a short period of time before washer fluid is sprayed. This is a normal condition. The first heated wash/wipe cycle may take up to 40 seconds to occur, depending on the outside temperature. After the first wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to 20 seconds for each of the remaining cycles.

Audio Mute/Voice Recognition Button

Press and release this button to silence the vehicle speakers only. The audio of the wireless or wired headphones, if the vehicle has these features, does not mute. Press and release this button again, to turn the sound on. Press and hold this button for longer than one second to interact with the OnStar(R) system. If the vehicle is also equipped with the Navigation system, push and hold this button for longer than one second to initiate voice recognition, and say "OnStar" to enter OnStar(R) mode.

Lockout Protection

This feature protects from locking the key in the vehicle when the key is in the ignition and a front door is open. If the driver's side power door lock switch is pressed when the driver's door is open and the key is in the ignition, all of the doors will lock and then the driver's door will unlock. If the passenger's side power door lock switch is pressed when the front passenger's door is open and the key is in the ignition, all of the doors will lock and then the front passenger's door will unlock.
