PAGE 9
DVD Radio (if equipped) The DVD Radio is located in the center of your instrument panel. The following are the three available DVD modes. DVD Modes RSE (Default mode): When a DVD is inserted into the radio, your VUE’s rear speakers will be muted. The rear seat passengers will be able to hear audio through the wireless headphones. Front seat passengers will be able to listen to the AM/FM radio or XM Satellite Radio (if equipped) by pressing either the AM/FM button or the AUX button.
PAGE 10
Getting to Know Your VUE Cruise Control (if equipped) If you opted for the Power Package, your VUE comes with cruise control, which allows you to maintain a desired speed without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. To use this feature, you must be traveling at a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or greater. The cruise control buttons are located on your steering wheel. (On/Off): Press this button to turn the cruise control system on or off.
PAGE 11
Automatic Headlamp System (if equipped) When it is dark enough outside, your automatic headlamp system will turn on your headlamps at the normal brightness and will also illuminate the taillamps, side-markers, parking lamps and instrument panel lights. The radio lights will also dim. The system has a light sensor located on top of the instrument panel. Be sure it is not covered, or the automatic headlamps will be on whenever the ignition is on.
PAGE 12
Getting to Know Your VUE Climate Controls Your VUE has a climate control system that is intuitive and easy to use. The large knob on the left controls the interior air temperature. The center knob operates the fan, and the large knob on the right controls the direction of the airflow. This knob provides five air direction settings, but you can also blend the flow of air by positioning the knob between the settings. Press this button to activate your air conditioning system.
PAGE 13
(Washer Fluid): Pull the windshield wiper lever toward you to squirt washer fluid onto the windshield. The wipers will cycle several times to clear the windshield. For additional wash cycles, simply pull the lever toward you and hold it. Rear Wiper/Washer Your rear wiper and washer are controlled by the same lever used for the front wiper system. You can choose from three wiper settings by turning the band on the inner portion of the lever, closer to the steering column (see “B” on previous page).
PAGE 14
Getting to Know Your VUE Rear Window Wind Effects On occasion when one of the rear windows is down, you may hear a beating or pulsing sound. While this may be distracting to some people, it does not indicate a problem, nor is it dangerous in any way. If this condition is objectionable, simply open or close the rear window slightly, or open the front window on the same side of the vehicle. This will eliminate the wind effect immediately. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
PAGE 15
Lockout Prevention (if equipped) If your VUE is equipped with the Power Package, the lockout prevention feature makes it difficult for you to lock your key in the vehicle. If you leave the key in the ignition with either of the front doors open and a power door lock switch is depressed, all the doors will lock. However, because the key is in the ignition, the driver’s door will unlock automatically within one second. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
PAGE 16
Getting to Know Your VUE • A door is opened and closed without the brake pedal applied while the vehicle is moving more than 3 mph (5 km/h). Manual Transaxle-Equipped Vehicles: If your VUE has a manual transaxle, all doors will automatically lock when the vehicle is traveling over 3 mph (5 km/h), the ignition key is in the RUN position and all the doors are closed.
PAGE 17
Resetting the “Change Oil Soon” Light Fold-Down Passenger Seatback Your VUE has a light in the lower-right corner of the instrument cluster that is shaped like an oilcan. This is the Change Oil Soon Light. The light is controlled by a computer system that measures oil life, based on engine revolutions and engine temperature. When the light comes on, change your oil as soon as possible, preferably within the next few times that you stop for fuel. After changing the oil, you need to reset the system.
PAGE 18
Getting to Know Your VUE Fold-Down Rear Seats The VUE’s reclining and folding rear seats provide added comfort and increased flexibility — a valuable feature for camping trips or when you are carrying cargo. The rear split-bench seatbacks have three available positions: • Folded forward • Upright • Partially reclined Each of the rear seatbacks can be moved to any of the three positions independent of the other seatback position.
PAGE 19
6. To close the cargo organizer, unsnap the dividers and place them into the stowed position. Then, close the rear panel lid of the organizer and push on the latch firmly to engage it. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual. Preventing Window Fogging To help prevent window fogging, clean your interior glass surfaces often. GM Glass Cleaner or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove most dust films on interior glass. See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
