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.To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Insert a thin coin in the slot between the covers of the
transmitter housing. Gently pry the transmitter apart.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a
three-volt CR2032 or equivalent battery,
positive (+) side down.
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter.

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
Your vehicle has an automatic-dimming rearview mirror
with a compass and the OnStar®system.
There are three additional buttons for the OnStar
®
system. See your dealer for more information on the
system and how to subscribe to OnStar®. SeeOnStar®
System on page 2-35for more information about the
services OnStar®provides.
Mirror Operation
When turned on, this mirror automatically dims to the
proper level to minimize glare from any headlamps
behind you after dark.
O(On/Off): This is the on/off button for the automatic
dimming feature and compass. Press the far left button,
located below the the mirror face, for up to three
seconds to turn the feature on and off. A light on the
mirror will be lit while the feature is turned on.
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, “NE” is
displayed for north-east.

Compass Calibration
Press and hold the on/off button down for nine seconds
to activate the compass calibration mode. CAL will
be displayed in the compass window on the mirror.
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.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. 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. 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 ZONE 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 nd your
zone number, release the button. After about
four seconds, the mirror will return to the compass
display, and the new zone number will be set.

Outside Convex Mirror
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 or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Outside Heated Mirrors
Your vehicle may have this feature.
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver’s and passenger’s
outside rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice,
snow and condensation.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
with Curb View Assist
The driver’s and/or passenger’s outside mirror will
adjust to a preset tilt position while the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R) gear. Curb view assist may be useful
when you are parallel parking. The mirror(s) will return
to normal position when the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) gear. Automatic mirror movement
in either direction will follow a short delay.
To change the tilt position, adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is in REVERSE (R) gear with the engine running,
the parking brake engaged and the brake pedal
pressed. The new position will be saved into memory
once the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R).
You may be able to enable/disable this feature
through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Mirror
Curb View Assist” underDIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-43.

A second mirror position, seating position and adjustable
pedal position can be programmed by repeating the
procedure with a second driver and pressing button 2 for
three seconds. Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and
released while the vehicle is in PARK (P), a single chime
will sound, and the memory position will be recalled.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver’s
seat, mirror positions and adjustable pedal position will
be recalled if programmed to do so through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The numbers on the
back of the transmitters, 1 or 2, correspond to the
numbers on the memory controls.
The seat positions, mirror positions and adjustable
pedal positions can also be recalled by placing the key
in the ignition if programmed to do so through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Operation
and Displays on page 3-43.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls or
memory buttons.Two personalized exit positions can be set by rst
recalling the driver’s position by pressing 1 or 2, then
positioning the seat in the desired exit position for that
driver. Press and hold the button with the exit symbol for
three seconds. A double chime will sound to let you know
that the position has been stored. With the vehicle in
PARK (P), the exit position for that driver can be recalled
by pressing the exit button. The mirrors, power lumbar,
recline and adjustable pedal positions will not be stored
or recalled for the exit positions. If no exit position is
stored, the default is all the way rearward.
Further programming for automatic seat and mirror
movement can be done through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). You may choose to either select or
not select the following:
Automatic seat, mirror movement and pedal
position when the vehicle is unlocked with the
remote keyless entry
automatic seat, mirror movement and pedal position
when a key is placed in the ignition
automatic seat movement to the exit position when
the vehicle is in PARK (P)
