Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
When you are sitting in a comfortable driving
position, adjust the mirror so you can see clearly
behind your vehicle. Grip the mirror in the center to
move it up or down and side to side. The day/night
control, located at the bottom of the mirror, lessens
glare from the headlamps behind your vehicle when
in the night position. Turn the control to the right for
the night position and to the left for the day position.
Two buttons under the rearview mirror control
map lamps. Push each button to turn each map
lamp on or off.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
The vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with OnStar®, a compass and map
lamps. Three OnStar®buttons are at the bottom
of the mirror. SeeOnStar®System on page 114
for more information on the services OnStar®
provides.
Mirror Operation
The mirror automatically changes to reduce
glare from headlamps behind you. A time delay
feature prevents rapid changing from the day
to night positions while driving under lights and
through traffic.
P(On/Off):The automatic dimming feature is
activated when the vehicle is started. The automatic
dimming feature is turned on or off by pressing this
button located on the lower part of the mirror. Press
and hold the button for up to three seconds to turn
this feature on or off.
T(Indicator Light):This light will turn on when
the automatic dimming feature is active.
Map Lamps
The mirror has map lamps located at the bottom
of the mirror. To manually turn the lamps on or off,
press the button next to each lamp.

Outside Convex Mirror
{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.
The passenger side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen
from the driver’s seat. It also makes things look
farther away than they really are.

How OnStar®Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar®services,
your vehicle’s OnStar®system has the capability
of recording and transmitting vehicle information.
This information is automatically sent to an
OnStar
®Call Center at the time of an OnStar®
button press, Emergency button press or if
your airbags or AACN system deploys. The vehicle
information usually includes your GPS location
and, in the event of a crash, additional information
regarding the accident that your vehicle has
been involved in (e.g. the direction from which
your vehicle was hit). When you use the Virtual
Advisor feature of OnStar
®Hands-Free Calling,
your vehicle also sends OnStar®your GPS
location so that we can provide you with
location-based services.
116

OnStar®service cannot work unless your vehicle is
in a place where OnStar®has an agreement with a
wireless service provider for service in that area.
OnStar
®service also cannot work unless you are
in a place where the wireless service provider
OnStar
®has hired for that area has coverage,
network capacity and reception when the service is
needed, and technology that is compatible with the
OnStar
®service. Not all services are available
everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed
areas, or at all times.
OnStar
®service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available
in that place as well.Your vehicle must have a working electrical
system (including adequate battery power) for the
OnStar
®equipment to operate. There are other
problems OnStar®cannot control that may prevent
OnStar®from providing OnStar®service to you
at any particular time or place. Some examples are
damage to important parts of your vehicle in an
accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather
or wireless phone network congestion.
Your Responsibility
You may need to increase the volume of your radio
to hear the OnStar®advisor. If the light next to the
OnStar®buttons is red, this means that your system
is not functioning properly and should be checked
by a dealer. If the light appears clear (no light is
appearing), your OnStar
®subscription has expired.
You can always press the OnStar®button to
conrm that your OnStar®equipment is active.

Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the
instrument panel, which shows a deployed
airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag’s
electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical problem. The
system check includes the airbag modules,
the wiring and the diagnostic module. For more
information on the airbag system, seeAirbag
System on page 50.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will ash
for a few seconds. Then
the light should go out.
This means the system
is ready.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light stays on after
you start your vehicle, it means the airbag
system may not be working properly. The
airbags in your vehicle may not inate in
a crash, or they could even inate without
a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle serviced right
away if the airbag readiness light stays
on after you start your vehicle.
The airbag readiness light should ash for a
few seconds when you turn the vehicle on. If the
light does not come on then, have it xed so it
will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
191

If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it means that
the passenger sensing system has turned off
the passenger’s airbag(s). SeePassenger Sensing
System on page 59for more on this, including
important safety information.
If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there
may be a problem with the lights or the passenger
sensing system. See your dealer for service.
{CAUTION:
If the airbag off indicator and the airbag
readiness light ever come on together, it
means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. If this ever happens,
have the vehicle serviced promptly,
because an adult-size person sitting in
the right front passenger seat may not
have the protection of the airbag. See
Airbag Readiness Light on page 191.
Voltmeter Gage
The voltmeter shows
the voltage output
of your battery.
When the engine is
running, it shows
the voltage output of
the charging system.
The reading will change as the rate of charge
changes (with engine speed, for example), but if
the voltmeter reads at 9 volts or below, your
instrument panel cluster and other systems may
shut down. The Driver Information Center (DIC)
will read BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW when
your vehicle is at 10 volts or below. Have it
checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter
reading at 10 volts or below could drain your
battery and disable your vehicle.
