Compass Variance
The zone 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, as during
a long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to
adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is
the difference between earth’s magnetic north and true
geographic north. If not adjusted to account for
compass variance, your compass could give false
readings.
To adjust for compass variance do the following:
1. Find the current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number appears in the display.
3. Once the zone number appears in the display,
press the on/off button quickly until the correct
zone number appears in the display. Stop pressing
the button and the mirror will return to normal
operation. If C appears in the compass window, the
compass may need calibration. SeeCompass
Calibrationlisted previously.

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.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with a compass display.
The mirror includes 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.
Mirror Operation
O
(On/Off):Press and hold the button, located on
the lower left side of the mirror face, for about
three seconds to turn the automatic dimming feature
on or off. The indicator light will illuminate when
this feature is active. The automatic dimming feature
is active each time the vehicle is started.
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 about
two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display
the compass heading.
Compass Calibration
If after two seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading (for example, N for North), there may
be a strong magnetic eld interfering with the compass.
Such interference may be caused by a magnetic
antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar
magnetic item. 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
manually by pressing and holding the on/off button until
a C is shown in the compass display.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn is
complete. If you momentarily press and release the
lever, the turn signal will ash 3 times.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster and in the
outside rearview mirror will
ash in the direction of
the turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ash
to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane
change is complete. The lever returns when it is released.
If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a mile to remind
you to turn it off.
Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers will not see the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs if
the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn. SeeRear
Underseat Fuse Block on page 5-96.

Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
J(Washer Fluid):Press and release this paddle,
located at the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever,
to spray washer uid on the windshield. The wipers
will clear the windshield and either stop or return to your
preset speed. For more washer cycles, press and
hold the paddle.
_(Heated Washer Fluid):If your vehicle is equipped,
the heated windshield washer uid system may be
used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from
your windshield. Sliding the switch on the turn signal/
multifunction lever to this position and then releasing
it will activate the heated windshield washer uid system.
This activation will initiate four heated wash/wipe cycles.
The rst heated wash/wipe cycle may take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on outside temperature.
After the rst wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to
20 seconds for each of the remaining cycles. The heated
windshield washer uid system may be turned off at any
time by sliding the switch on the turn signal/multifunction
lever to this position again.
When the heated windshield washer uid system is
activated under certain outside temperature conditions,
steam may ow out of the washer nozzles for a short
period of time before washer uid is sprayed. This is a
normal condition.
A message will be displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) when the washer uid is low. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-76.

The cruise control buttons
are located on left side of
the steering wheel.
I(On):This position activates the system.
+ RES (Resume/Accelerate):Press this button to
make the vehicle accelerate or resume to a previously
set speed.
–SET (Set):Press this button to set the speed.
[(Cancel):Press this button to cancel cruise control.
Cruise control will not work if your parking brake is
set, or if the master cylinder brake uid level is low.
If you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off.The cruise light on the instrument panel cluster will
come on after the cruise control has been set to
the desired speed.
1. Press the cruise control button.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the SET button located on the steering wheel
and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This shuts off the
cruise control. But you do not need to reset it.
Once the vehicle is traveling approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can press the
RES (resume/accelerate) button to return to your
desired preset speed. The cruise light will be displayed
again.
The vehicle will return to and stay at your preset speed.
If you press and hold the RES button, the vehicle
speed will increase until you release the button or apply
the brake. Unless you want to go faster, do not press
and hold the RES button.

To set Adaptive Cruise Control, do the following:
1. Press the
](On) button.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press in the−SET button and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Once Adaptive Cruise Control is set, it may immediately
apply the brakes if it detects a vehicle ahead is too
close or moving slower than your vehicle.
The on symbol is located on the display at the top of
the instrument panel to the right of the driver. When
the on symbol is lit on the display, it indicates that
Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
A message on the DIC will also display when Adaptive
Cruise Control is set. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-76.
Keep in mind speed limits, surrounding traffic speeds,
and weather conditions when adjusting your set speed.
If your vehicle is in Adaptive Cruise Control when the
traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the
Adaptive Cruise Control will automatically disengage.
SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9and
StabiliTrak
®System on page 4-10. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the
Adaptive Cruise Control back on.
Increasing Set Speed While Using Adaptive
Cruise Control
There are two ways to increase the set speed:
Use the accelerator to get to the higher speed.
Press the SET button and then release the
button and the accelerator pedal. You will now
cruise at the higher speed.
Press the RES button. Hold it there until the desired
set speed is displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC), then release the switch. To increase
your set speed in very small amounts, move the
switch briey to RES. Each time you do this,
your vehicle set speed will increase by
1 mph (1 km/h).
Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the
system determines there is not a vehicle in front of you.
At that point, your vehicle speed will increase to the
set speed.
