Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the
driver's side mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps
behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and
off settings on the automatic dimming rearview mirror.
See
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStarž
on page 2-37.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with memory 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 factory programmed position when the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in
allowing you to view the curb when you are parallel
parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
®ve-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 switch may be used.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-64for more information.
Outside Convex 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. This mirror does not have a dimming
feature.
{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.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog or
ice. See
Dual Climate Control System on page 3-28for more information.

TEMP (Driver's Temperature Knob):Press this knob
to turn the climate control system on or off. Turn this
knob clockwise or counterclockwise to manually
increase or decrease the temperature inside your
vehicle.
TEMP (Passenger's Temperature Knob):Press this
knob to turn the passengers' climate control system
controls on or off. Turn this knob to manually increase
or decrease the temperature for the front passenger.
If the passenger's climate controls are turned off,
the driver's temperature knob will control the
temperature for the entire vehicle.
A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to override
the automatic system and turn the air-conditioning
system on or off. When in AUTO the air-conditioning
compressor will come on automatically, as necessary.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.For quick cool down on hot days:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select A/C.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Open all outlets.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry.
To prevent this from happening, after the air in your
vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
If your vehicle has the memory option, it can be used to
recall your climate control settings. For more information,
see
Climate Controls Personalization on page 3-36.

Rear Climate Control System
Your vehicle has a rear climate-control system that
allows the rear-seat passengers to adjust the direction
of the air¯ow and the fan speed for the rear seating
area. This system also works with the main
climate-control system in your vehicle.
The control panel for this system is located on the back
of the center console.
OFF:Turn the mode knob located on the rear climate
control panel to this position to turn off the air¯ow.
If the passenger's temperature knob located on the main
climate control panel is off, the rear climate control
system will be turned off and the settings selected for
the main climate control panel will also be selected
for the rear seat passengers.For more information on how to use the climate control
system, seeDual Climate Control System on
page 3-28. For more information on the air outlets, seeOutlet Adjustment on page 3-33.
Operation
Mode Knob:Turn the knob to direct the air¯ow in the
rear-seating area.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
G(Vent):This mode directs air to the upper outlets,
with some air directed to the ¯oor outlets.
+(Bi-Level):This mode directs half the air to the
upper outlets, and then directs the remaining air to the
¯oor outlets.
8(Floor):This mode directs the air to the ¯oor
outlets.
9(Fan):Slide this lever to the left or right, between
LO and HI, to decrease or increase the fan speed.
Be sure to keep the area under the front seats clear of
any objects so that the air inside of your vehicle can
circulate effectively. Rear Climate Control Panel

Climate Controls Personalization
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, you
can store and recall climate control settings for the
temperature, the fan speed and the direction of
the air¯ow.
Memory buttons 1 and 2 are located on the driver's door

keyless entry transmitter and put the ignition in ACC or
ON. The settings will be recalled.
To change the stored settings, do the following:
1. Select the desired temperature, fan speed and
air¯ow mode. If desired, a separate temperature
setting may also be selected for the front seat
passenger. For information on how to do this, see
Dual Climate Control System on page 3-28.2. Locate memory buttons 1 and 2 on the driver's
door panel.
3. Press the memory button on the door panel that
corresponds to the number on the back of the
transmitter you are programming, until you hear two
beeps. The beeps con®rm that your selection has
been saved and can now be recalled. For more
information on the memory feature, see
Memory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-51.
Follow these steps each time you want to change the
stored settings.

TRACTION SUSPENDED ± 56:This message displays
when the traction control system has been temporarily
shut off because your vehicle's brakes have overheated.
This message does not indicate a problem with your
vehicle's traction control system. After a few minutes,
the traction control system will be available again
and the TRACTION READY message will appear.
TRANS HOT IDLE ENGINE ± 112:This message
indicates that the transaxle ¯uid in your vehicle is too
hot. Stop and allow your vehicle to idle until it cools
down or until this message is removed.
TRUNK OPEN ± 24:This message indicates that the
trunk is open when the ignition is on.
TURN SIGNAL ON ± 20:If you drive your vehicle for
more than a mile with a turn signal on, this message will
appear as a reminder to turn off the turn signal. A
multiple chime will sound when this message is
displayed.
VEHICLE OVERSPEED ± 52:This message is
displayed when the vehicle speed exceeds a certain
limit as required by some export countries. A continuous
chime will sound when this message is displayed.Climate Controls and Radio System
Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see
Climate Controls
Personalization on page 3-36andRadio Personalization
with Home and Away Feature on page 3-102.
The outside temperature is always available for display
if it has been selected for a DIC display when your
vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message
appears. You can change the temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the instrument panel. For
more information on the DIC, see
DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-56.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
®rst started after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic
climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as expected. This is
to allow the air surrounding the outside temperature
sensor to be as close to the actual outside conditions as
possible. This is determined by how much time has
elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by
vehicle speed.
