Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If you have the Memory Seat and Mirrors feature, the
passenger’s outside rearview mirror includes a tilt-down
feature that operates when the shift lever is in
REVERSE (R). This feature assists the driver, improving
rear obstacle detection. When the vehicle is shifted
out of REVERSE (R), the passenger mirror will return to
its original position after a ve-second delay. This
delay prevents movement of the mirror if multiple gear
transitions (REVERSE (R) to AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (
X) to REVERSE (R)) occur during a
parallel parking maneuver. This feature can be
programmed on or off through the personal choice
selection menu. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 3-51for programming instructions.
Outside Convex Mirror
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen 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.
Outside Automatic Dimming
Heated Mirror
If you have this feature, the outside driver’s mirror will
adjust for the glare of headlamps behind you. This
feature is controlled using the on and off settings on the
automatic dimming rearview mirror. SeeAutomatic
Dimming Rearview Mirror on page 2-32.
When you operate the rear window defogger, the
heated driver’s and passenger’s outside rearview mirrors
are warmed to help clear them of ice and snow. See
“Rear Window Defogger” underClimate Control System
on page 3-24orDual Automatic Climate Control
System on page 3-27for more information.

SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM – 54:If you ever see
the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message, it
means there may be a problem with your stability
enhancement system. If you see this message, try to
reset the system: stop, turn off the engine, then start the
engine again. If the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM
message still comes on, it means there is a problem.
You should see your GM dealer for service. Reduce
your speed and drive accordingly.
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE – 55:You may see the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message on the Driver
Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you
are steering. This stability enhancement system
activates when the computer senses that your vehicle is
just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of
ice or other slippery spot on the road. When the system
is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the
brake pedal. This is normal.
When the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want
to go. The system is designed to help you in bad
weather or other difficult driving situations by making the
most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on, you
will know that something has caused your vehicle to
start to spin, so you should consider slowing down.DIC Vehicle Personalization
