Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If the vehicle is equipped with this feature, the
driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps
behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and
off settings on the automatic dimming rearview mirror.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will
also be capable of performing the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will allow the driver’s and
passenger’s side mirror to tilt to a factory programmed
position when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This
feature may be useful in allowing you to view the curb
when you are parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and
either a thirty-second delay has occurred, the vehicle
speed is greater than 8 mph (12 kph), or the ignition is
turned to off, the driver’s and passenger’s side mirror
will return to its original position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from
the driver’s seat. This mirror does not have a
dimming feature.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog or
ice. SeeDual Climate Control System on page 3-44
for more information.

Automatic Operation
AUTO9(Automatic Fan):When this position is
selected on the fan control, the system will adjust the fan
speed. If the OnStar
®system is activated when this
position is selected, the climate control fan speed
will lower.
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1. Turn the fan control to the AUTO position.
2. Turn the mode control to the AUTO position.
3. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting
between 68°F (21°C) and 78°F (26°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any
faster. In cold weather, the system will start at
reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into
your vehicle until warmer air is available. The
system will start out blowing air at the oor but may
change modes automatically as the vehicle
warms up to maintain the chosen temperature
setting. The length of time needed to warm
the interior will depend on the outside temperature
and temperature of the vehicle.
4. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the system to stabilize in
order for the system to regulate automatically. Then
adjust the temperature as necessary to nd your
comfort setting.Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of
the instrument panel near the windshield. For more
information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in
this section.
After your vehicle is started, the display will show the
interior temperature settings and the outside
temperature.
If the AUTO position is selected on the fan or mode
control, the system will automatically control the
air conditioning compressor. The A/C compressor will
run automatically even at cool outside temperatures
in order to dehumidify the air. The A/C indicator light
will be lit when the system is operating automatically,
even at near freezing outside temperatures. Press
the A/C button on the fan control to turn off the A/C.
For improved window clearing performance in defog
or defrost modes, the A/C compressor will run
automatically in damp cool conditions.

Rear Climate Control System
If your vehicle has a rear climate-control system, the
rear-seat passengers can use it to adjust the direction of
the airow, the fan speed and the temperature for the
rear-seating area. This system also works with the main
climate-control system in your vehicle.The control panel for this system is located on the back
of the center console.
If the AUX button located on the front climate control
panel is pressed, the rear climate control system will be
turned on. The rear system will operate in automatic
mode and the temperature settings selected for the front
climate control panel will also be selected for the rear
passengers.
If the rear passenger would like to adjust the rear
climate control system, they can select a different
temperature and a different mode or fan speed.
Whenever the rear passengers have adjusted settings
on the rear climate control system, the AUX light is lit on
the front climate control system. The driver can turn
off the auxiliary fan by pressing the AUX button.
When the front climate control system is turned off or
in defrost mode, the rear climate control system is
turned off. The rear system will turn back on once
another front mode is selected.
For more information on how to use the climate
control system, seeDual Climate Control System on
page 3-44. For more information on the air outlets,
seeOutlet Adjustment on page 3-50.
