GMC CANYON 2005 Owner's Manual

Temperature Display Operation
The outside air temperature is displayed in the window
located at the lower center of the mirror face.
Press and hold the far right button for four seconds and
release. This will change the temperature reading
between degrees Fahrenheit, degrees Celsius, or turn
the display off.
Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause
the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Outside Manual Mirrors
If the vehicle has manual outside mirrors, adjust them
by hand so that the side of the vehicle can be seen while
you are sitting in a comfortable driving position.
The mirrors can be folded inward to prevent damage
when going through an automatic car wash. To fold,
push the mirror toward the vehicle. To return the mirror
to its original position, push outward. Return both
mirrors to the unfolded position before driving.
Outside Power Mirrors
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver’s
door armrest.
To adjust the power mirrors, do the following:
1. Move the selector switch to the L (left) or R (right)
to choose the driver’s or passenger’s mirror.
2. Use the arrows located on the four-way control pad
to move the mirror in the direction you want the
mirror to go.
3. Return the selector switch to the center position
once the mirrors are adjusted.
2-39

If the mirror begins making a ratcheting sound, the
mirror has reached the end of its travel and can go no
farther in that direction. To stop the sound, reverse
the mirror direction using the control pad.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent
damage when going through an automatic car wash.
To fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle. To return the
mirror to its original position, push outward. Be sure to
return both mirrors to the unfolded position before driving.
Outside Convex Mirror
Your passenger’s outside rearview mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more
from the driver’s seat.
{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.
