Sun Visors
To block out glare, swing down the visor(s).
The sun visors can also be detached from the
center mount and swung out to cover the
side windows. They can also be slid along the rod
to cover different areas of the front window.
Visor Vanity Mirrors
Your vehicle has visor vanity mirrors. Swing down
the sun visor and lift the cover to expose the
mirror.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have
a content theft-deterrent
alarm system. If your
vehicle has remote
keyless entry, then it
has content
theft-deterrent.
Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system by
pressing the remote keyless entry transmitter lock
button.
The system will arm after either of these things
occur:
Thirty seconds after all the doors are closed.
Sixty seconds with any door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a
second time while all the doors are closed,
the system will arm immediately. The system will
still arm in 60 seconds if a door is open. When
the open door is closed, it will also become armed.

Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from lamps behind you, move the
lever toward you to the night position. Your
vehicle may also have reading lamps. Press the
buttons, located under the mirror, up to turn
the lamps on or off.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with OnStar®, compass and
reading lamps. This feature enables the mirror to
sense nighttime glare from vehicle headlamps
from behind and automatically dim to reduce the
glare to a safe level.
O(On/Off):This is the on/off button for the
automatic dimming feature.
The automatic dimming feature turns on each time
the vehicle is started. Press and hold the on/off
button once and the green indicator light located to
the left of the button will go out indicating thefeature is off. To turn the feature back on, press
and hold the on/off button and the green indicator
light will come on.
The reading lamps, located under the mirror, can
be turned on or off by pushing the buttons up.
There are three additional buttons for the OnStar
®
system. See your dealer for more information on
the system and how to subscribe to OnStar®. See
OnStar®in the Index for more information.
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 a
few seconds. After a few seconds, the mirror will
display the current compass direction.
Compass Calibration
If after a few seconds the display does not show a
compass direction, (N for North for example),
there may be a strong magnetic eld interfering
with the compass. Such interference may be
caused by a magnetic antenna mount, note pad
holder, or similar object. If the word CAL appears
in the compass window, the compass may
need to be reset or calibrated.
134

To calibrate the compass, do the following:
1. Make sure CAL is displayed. If CAL is not
displayed, press and hold the on/off button
until CAL is displayed.
2. While CAL is displayed, drive the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north.
If the mirror is not adjusted for compass
variance, the compass could give false readings.
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving
the factory. It will be necessary to adjust the
compass to compensate for compass variance if
the vehicle is driven outside zone eight. Under
certain circumstances, such as a long distance,
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust
the compass variance.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the zone map that follows.2. Press and hold the on/off button untilaZand
a zone number appear on the display.
3. Once the zone number appears on the
display, press the on/off button quickly
until you reach the correct zone number.
If CAL appears in the compass window,
the compass may need calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” listed previously.

Adjust each mirror so a little of the side of the
vehicle can be seen while sitting in a comfortable
driving position. These mirrors are designed to
break away when necessary.
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’s 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
appear farther away than they really are.
