If the battery continues to discharge, even with the
engine idling at a higher RPM setting, some electrical
loads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs,
the rear window defogger may take slightly longer to
clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm as
they usually do and the fan blower may cut back to a
lower speed. For more battery saving information,
see ªBattery Saver Active Messageº in the Index.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle's battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power to
these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
(24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened or
the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle has an electrochromic inside rearview
mirror with a compass. Your vehicle's mirror also
contains OnStar

controls. For more information
about OnStar, see ªOnStarº in the Index.

Use this system as an aid to help you in seeing objects
beyond the headlamps. Do this by occasionally glancing
at the image as you would a rearview mirror. Do not
stare at the image.
The Night Vision System can be operated if:

The brightness control is in any position except OFF

it is dark enough outside,

the headlamps or fog lamps (if equipped) are on and

the ignition is turned to ON.The controls are located to the left of and below the
steering wheel. They are used to adjust the brightness
and location of the image. Adjust the IMAGE control so
the image is as low as possible while remaining visible.
Slide the dimmer control until the image is no brighter
than necessary to clearly and comfortably see the image.
When the system comes on, you'll see the Night Vision
System symbol in the image. After about one minute,
you should see the view of the road ahead. If you don't
see the image after about two minutes (on cold days it
may take longer for the image to display), there may
be something wrong with the system. See your dealer
for service.
CAUTION:
If the Night Vision System image is too bright,
or too high in your field of view, it may take you
more time to see things you need to see when it's
dark outside. Be sure to keep the image dim and
placed low in your field of view.
