Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview
Mirror with OnStar
®, Compass
and Temperature Display
When on, an automatic dimming mirror
automatically dims to the proper level to
minimize glare from lights behind you after dark.
The mirror also includes a dual display in the
upper right corner of the mirror face. The compass
reading and the outside temperature will both
appear in the display at the same time.
P(On/Off):This is the on/off button.
Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror function is turned
on automatically each time the ignition is started.
To operate the automatic dimming mirror, do
the following:
1. Make sure the indicator light, located to the left
of the on/off button, is on. If it’s not, press and
hold the on/off button until the light comes on,
indicating that the mirror is in automatic
dimming mode.
2. Turn off the automatic dimming mirror function
by pressing and holding the on/off button until
the indicator light turns off.
Temperature and Compass Display
Press the on/off button, located to the far left, briey
to turn the comp/temp display on or off.
If the display reads CAL, the compass needs
to be calibrated. See the information following
on calibration.
125
ProCarManuals.com

To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius, do the
following:
1. Press and hold the on/off button until either a
ashing °F or °C appears.
2. Press the button again to change the display
to the desired unit of measurement. After
approximately four seconds of inactivity, the
new unit will be locked in and the display
will return.
Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration from time
to time.
In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the
mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed,
push in the on/off button for approximately
nine seconds or until CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until
the display reads a direction, or the word CAL
disappears.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if you live
outside of zone eight. Under certain circumstances,
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 following zone map.
126
ProCarManuals.com

2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number appears in the display. The compass
is now in zone mode.
3. Keep pressing the on/off button until the
desired zone number appears in the display.
Release the button. After approximately four
seconds of inactivity, the new zone number
will be locked in and the comp/temp display
will return.
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 Power Mirrors
The outside power
mirror controls are
located on the driver’s
side of the vehicle
next to the shift lever.
Move the selector switch to the left or right to
choose the mirror to be adjusted; then press the
four-way control pad to adjust the direction of
the mirror.

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. It also makes things appear
farther away than they really are.

live advisors to provide you with a wide range of
safety, security, information, and convenience
