2-12 Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a
RFA # BATTERY LOW message when the transmitter
battery is low.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

This is the on/off button.
There are three buttons for the OnStar system. See your
dealer for more information on the system and how to
subscribe to OnStar. See ªOnStar
 Systemº in the
Index for more information about the services
OnStar provides.
Automatic Dimming Feature
When turned on, an electrochromic mirror automatically
dims to the proper level to minimize glare from any
headlamps behind you after dark.
The automatic dimming feature is turned on and off by
pressing the far left button, located on the lower part of
the mirror face, for up to three seconds. A light on the
mirror will be lit when the feature is turned on. It will go
out when the feature is turned off.Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass
on or off.
There is a compass display in the window in the upper
right corner of the mirror face. The compass displays a
maximum of two characters. For example, ªNEº is
displayed for north
-east.
Compass Calibration
Press and hold the on/off button for nine seconds to
activate the compass calibration mode. ªCALº will be
displayed in the compass window on the mirror.
The mirror can be calibrated in one of two ways:
Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or
less until the display shows ªCAL,º or
drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.
(This method may take longer to calibrate).

Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, such as during a long
distance cross
-country trip, it will be necessary to
adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is
the difference between earth's magnetic north and
true geographic north. If not adjusted to account
for compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button for six seconds.
Release the button when ªZONEº is displayed.
The number shown is the current zone number.
3. Scroll through the zone numbers that appear in
the compass/temperature window on the mirror by
pressing the on/off button. Once you find your zone
number, release the button. After about four seconds,
the mirror will return to the compass and temperature
display, and the new zone number will be set.

You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. The new one will be set to the
correct millage total of the old odometer.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information
Center (DIC). For information on how to reset the
trip odometer see ªDriver Information Center (DIC)º
in the Index.

The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer
in the shaded warning area, or engine damage
will occur.

A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or other problems causing low
oil pressure.

reduced. The performance may be reduced until the next
time you drive your vehicle. If this light stays on, see
your dealer as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair.
This light may also come on if there is a problem
with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
If this happens, take the vehicle in for service as soon
as possible.
