1-3 Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)
This feature allows you to program and recall memory
settings for the driver's seating and outside rearview
mirror driving positions for up to two drivers.
The buttons for this feature
are located on the driver's
door armrest.
Use the following steps to program the buttons:
1. Adjust the driver's seat including the seatback
recliner and both outside mirrors.
2. Press and hold button 1 for at least three seconds.
Two beeps will sound to confirm that the seat and
mirror positions have been saved.
3. Repeat the procedure for a second driver
using button 2.If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the
vehicle must be in PARK (P) to recall the stored driving
positions. If your vehicle has a manual transmission and
the engine is running, the parking brake must be set to
recall the memory seat driving positions. The stored
driving positions can be recalled without setting the
parking brake if the vehicle is off.
Press one of the numbered memory buttons to recall the
stored setting. Each time a memory button is pressed, a
single beep will sound.
Three chimes will sound and the setting will not be
recalled if you press button 1 or 2 while the engine is
running and the vehicle is not in PARK (P) on an
automatic transmission or the parking brake is not
set on a manual transmission.
If you would like the stored driving positions to be
recalled when unlocking your vehicle with the remote
keyless entry transmitter or when you place the key in
the ignition, see ªVehicle Programming and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any
time, press one of the power seat or mirror controls.

Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
System
Your vehicle has an electrochromic inside rearview
mirror. The mirror also contains OnStar controls.
For more information about OnStar, see ªOnStarº in
the Index.
(On/Off): This is the on/off button, located on the
lower left side of the mirror for the electrochromic
functions of the rearview mirror.Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming feature is active each time the
vehicle is started.
To turn the automatic dimming feature on or off, press
and hold the on/off button for about three seconds. The
indicator light will illuminate when this feature is active.
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.

2-61
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview
Mirror with Compass and OnStar
System
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an electrochromic inside
rearview mirror with a compass. The mirror also
contains OnStar controls. For more information about
OnStar, see ªOnStarº in the Index.
The mirror has an eight
-point compass display in the
upper right corner of the mirror face. When on, the
compass automatically calibrates as the vehicle is
driven.
(On/Off): This is the on/off button, located on the
lower left side of the mirror for the electrochromic
functions of the rearview mirror.
Mirror Operation
The electrochromic feature on the mirror functions
exactly the same as the base electrochromic mirror.
See ªElectrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror with
OnStar

Systemº listed previously in this section for
more information.Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass on
or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on,
the compass will show two character boxes for
approximately two seconds. After two seconds, the
mirror will display the current compass heading.
Compass Calibration
If after two seconds the display does not show a
compass heading (N for North for example), there may
be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass.
Such interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna
mount, note pad holder or similar object. If the letter C
should ever appear in the compass window, the compass
may need calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads
a direction.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode by
pressing and holding the on/off button until a C is
shown in the compass display.

Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the memory seat and
mirrors, it will also be capable of performing the curb
view assist mirror feature. This feature will cause the
passenger's mirror to tilt to a preselected position when
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE (R). Use this
feature to view the curb when you are parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five
-second delay has occurred, the passenger's mirror
will return to its original position.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is
tilted, the mirror controls can be used. See ªPower
Outside Rearview Mirrorsº listed previously for
more information.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the DIC.
See ªVehicle Programming and Personalization
Featuresº in the Index for more information.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side 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.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside rearview mirrors to help clear them
of fog or ice. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index
for more information.
