If your vehicle has this feature, some audio controls can be adjusted at the steering wheel. They include the following:

(Seek): Press the up or the down arrow to go to the next or previous station and stay there. To scan stations, press and hold either arrow for two seconds until FREQUENCY SCAN appears on the display. The radio will go to a station, play for a few seconds, then go to the next station. Press either arrow again to stop scanning. The sound will mute while seeking or scanning. The radio will only seek or scan stations with a strong signal that are in the selected band. When a CD is playing, press either arrow to go to the previous or next track, if more than eight seconds have played. If either arrow is held or pressed more than once, the player will continue moving backward or forward through the CD.

BAND: Press this button to switch between FM1, FM2, AM, or XM1 or XM2 (if equipped).

1 - 6: Press this button to scan the stations that are programmed on the radio preset pushbuttons. The radio will go to the next preset station stored on the pushbuttons, play for a few seconds, then go on to the next preset station. Press this button again to stop scanning. The radio will only scan preset stations with a strong signal that are in the selected band.

(Mute/OnStar®): Press and release this button to silence the audio system. Press it again, or any other radio button to turn the sound on. If your vehicle is equipped with OnStar, press and hold this button to interact with the OnStar system. See the OnStar® System in this manual for more information.
