Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q: Is there anything I might add to or change about the vehicle that could keep the airbags from
working properly?
A: Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle's
frame, bumper system, height, front end or side
sheet metal, they may keep the airbag system from
working properly. Changing or moving any parts of
the front seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing and
diagnostic module, steering wheel, instrument panel,
the inside review mirror, front sensors, or airbag
wiring can affect the operation of the airbag system.
In addition, the vehicle has a passenger sensing
system for the right front passenger position, which
includes sensors that are part of the passenger seat.
The passenger sensing system may not operate
properly if the original seat trim is replaced with
non-GM covers, upholstery or trim, or with
GM covers, upholstery or trim designed for a
different vehicle. Any object, such as an aftermarket
seat heater or a comfort enhancing pad or device,
installed under or on top of the seat fabric, could also interfere with the operation of the passenger
sensing system. This could either prevent proper
deployment of the passenger airbag(s) or prevent
the passenger sensing system from properly turning
off the passenger airbag(s). See
Passenger Sensing
System
on page 2‑53.
If you have any questions about this, you should
contact Customer Assistance before you modify
your vehicle. The phone numbers and addresses
for Customer Assistance are in Step Two of the
Customer Satisfaction Procedure in this manual.
See Customer Satisfaction Procedure on page 8‑2.
Q: Because I have a disability, I have to get my vehicle modified. How can I find out whether this
will affect my airbag system?
A: If you have questions, call Customer Assistance.
The phone numbers and addresses for Customer
Assistance are in Step Two of the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure in this manual. See
Customer Satisfaction Procedure on page 8‑2.
Your dealer/retailer and the service manual have
information about the location of the airbag sensors,
sensing and diagnostic module and airbag wiring.

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
The vehicle may have an automatic dimming inside
rearview mirror with a compass display and/or map
lamps, and OnStar
®. 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.
If the vehicle has OnStar, there are three control buttons
located at the bottom of the mirror. See the OnStar
®
owner's guide for more information on the services
OnStar®provides.
P(On/Off): The automatic dimming feature is
activated when the vehicle is started. Press and hold
this button for up to six seconds to turn this feature on
or off.
T(Indicator Light): This light turns on when the
automatic dimming feature is active.
Map Lamps

bottom of the mirror. To manually turn the lamps on
or off, press the button next to each lamp.
Cleaning the Mirror
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror.
Use a soft towel dampened with water.
Compass
Compass Operation
With the compass feature on, each time the vehicle is
started, the compass will take a few seconds to adjust
and display the current compass heading. For example,
NE is displayed for north-east.
3-39

Compass Calibration
PressPonce to turn the compass display on or off.
If after several seconds the display does not show a
compass heading, there may be a strong magnetic
field interfering with the compass. Interference can be
caused by a magnetic antenna mount, note pad holder
or similar object. If the letter C or CAL appears in the
compass window, the compass needs calibration.
Depending on the mirror, in order to calibrate, CAL must
be displayed in the mirror compass windows. If CAL is
not displayed, press
Pfor several seconds or until
CAL is displayed.
If the compass has map lamps, it can be placed in
calibration mode by pressing and holding the left map
light button until a C appears on the compass display.
The mirror compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight. If you do not live in zone
eight or drive out of the area, the compass variance
needs to be changed to the appropriate zone. To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number on the zone map that follows. 2. Press and holdPuntil a Z and a zone number
displays. The compass is now in zone mode.
3. Once the zone number displays, press
P
repeatedly until you reach the correct zone
number. Stop pressing
Pand the mirror returns
to normal operation.

Outside Power Mirrors
Controls for the outside power mirrors are located on
the driver door.
To adjust the mirrors: 1. Move the top selector control to the left or right to select either the driver or passenger mirror.
2. Use the arrows located on the four-way control pad to move the mirror in the desired direction.
3. Adjust each outside mirror so that a little of the vehicle and the area behind it can be seen. Keep the control in the center position when not
adjusting either outside mirror.
If the vehicle has the memory feature, a preferred mirror
position can be stored. See
Memory Seat, Mirrors and
Steering Wheel on page 2‑4.

when going through an automatic car wash. To fold, pull
the mirror toward the vehicle. Push the mirror outward,
to return it to the original position.

If the vehicle has this feature, the driver side outside
mirror adjusts for the glare of headlamps behind you.
This feature is controlled by the on and off setting on
the inside rearview mirror.
3-41

Outside Convex Mirror
{WARNING:
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 the right. Check the inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before changing
lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver seat.
