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.

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.

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.
Power Outside Rearview Mirrors
The control on the driver's door armrest operates both
outside rearview mirrors.Press the left mirror symbol on the selector switch to
choose the driver's side mirror or the right mirror
symbol to choose the passenger's side mirror. The center
position is off and will not move the mirrors if the
control pad is touched.
Once you select the mirror you want to adjust, use the
arrows on the control pad to move the mirror in the
direction you want the mirror to go. Adjust each mirror
so you can see the side of your vehicle and the area
behind your vehicle.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent
damage when going through an automatic car wash. To
fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle. To return the
mirror to its original position, push outward. Be sure to
return both mirrors to their original unfolded position
before driving.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
and the curb view assist feature if you have the optional
memory package. For more information, see ªMemory
Seat and Mirrorsº and ªVehicle Programming and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

2-64
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.

3-6 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
While the system is in AUTO, it will use recirculation
as necessary to cool the air.
Defogging and Defrosting
When the mode switch is set for floor/defrost or the
defrost button is pressed, outside air will be selected
automatically. This helps clear the windshield more
quickly. Adjust the temperature and set the fan speed to
the highest setting. When the windshield is clear, adjust
the fan speed for maximum defrosting to a lower setting
or return to AUTO mode.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode, and
the air conditioning compressor cannot be turned off in
this mode.
For maximum side window defogging, turn the outboard
outlet thumbwheels to the side window defogger setting.
See ªVentilation Systemº later in this section for more
information on the outlet settings.
Rear Window Defogger
When the rear window defogger is turned on, the rear
window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated to
remove fog from the surface of the glass.
The rear window defogger
button is located on the
climate control panel to the
right of the defrost button.
Press the button to turn on the rear defogger. Press the
button again to turn the system off.
The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes
unless your vehicle is traveling more than 30 mph
(48 km/h). If further defogging is desired once the
system is off, press the button again. The system will
automatically shut off after five minutes for any cycles
after the initial activation.

4-24
Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as ªhighway
hypnosisº? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel?
Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or
whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch of road with
the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the
road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind
against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don't let it
happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can leave the
road in less than a second, and you could crash and
be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be
aware that it can happen.
Then here are some tips:

Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a
comfortably cool interior.

Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to
the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.

If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service
or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from
driving in flat or rolling terrain.
