®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with a compass display. The mirror also
contains OnStar
®controls. For more information see
OnStar®System on page 2-48.

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
untilaCisshown 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.
Outside Power Heated Mirrors

is on the driver’s door
armrest and controls
the driver’s side and
passenger’s side mirrors.
Move the selector switch left or right to choose the
driver’s side or passenger’s side mirror. Use the arrows
located on the control pad to adjust the position of
each mirror. Adjust each mirror so you can see the side
of your vehicle and the area behind your vehicle.Return the selector switch to the center position when
nished adjusting. This will prevent unwanted mirror
movement in case the control pad is accidentally
bumped while driving.
The preferred mirror positions can be stored with the
memory option. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel on page 2-77.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent
damage when going through car washes or conned
spaces. 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.
When the rear window defogger is turned on, both
outside rear view mirrors are heated to help clear them
