Rear Window Washers
(if equipped)
Your vehicle’s windshield washer fluid
reservoir, located under the hood, sends
washer fluid to both the front windshield
and the rear window. When the reservoir
is almost empty, the rear washer will no
longer receive fluid, thereby conserving
fluid for the windshield.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Automatic Level Control
(if equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic level
control may produce a “whirring” sound
under the rear of the vehicle. This is
normal. Under additional rear loads
(passengers or cargo), this sound indi-
cates that the level control compressor
is working — sending additional air to
your rear shock absorbers to provide
level ride height.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Compass (optional)
If equipped, your vehicle’s compass may
need to be calibrated. From time to time,
the letter “C” may appear on your
compass display as a result of certain
environmental conditions (such as being
close to power lines or other strong
electromagnetic fields). The compass
may recalibrate itself during normal
driving, but you can initiate calibration by
making three full-circle turns (an open
parking lot is best). After the compass
is calibrated, the “C” symbol will turn off
and the compass reading will be
displayed.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
TheftLock
®
Radio Protection
Radios equipped with the Radio Data
System (RDS) are automatically theft-
protected. When the vehicle is turned
off, TheftLock
®
is activated, and a blink-
ing red light is displayed. If your radio is
stolen, it will not operate.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Ashtray (GM Parts Accessory)
A combination ashtray/cigarette lighter
package can be purchased from your
dealer. Your vehicle is equipped with an
auxiliary power outlet in the front-center
console, which will accept the cigarette
lighter. The removable ashtray should be
placed into one of your front-center con-
sole cupholders.
