With Rainsense, if the transmission
is in N (Neutral) and the vehicle

lever toward you to spray windshield
washer fluid and activate the wipers.
The wipers will continue until the
lever is released or the maximum
wash time is reached. When the
windshield wiper lever is released,
additional wipes may occur

windshield washer had been
activated. See Washer Fluid 0 188
for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
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.

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 , 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

The infotainment system controls
are used to access the time and
date settings through the menu
system. The clock menu can only
be used with the radio while the
ignition is turned on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY. See Time and Date
Settings under Configuration
Menu in the Infotainment Manual.

Power Outlets

The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
There is one accessory power outlet
on the center stack below the
climate controls and one on the rear
of the center console. These outlets
are powered when the ignition is on
or in ACC/ACCESSORY, or until the
driver door is opened within
