Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
O
:Press this button to turn the automatic
dimming feature on or off. The indicator light to
the left of the button will turn on to indicate when
the feature is on. Once the mirror is turned off,
it will remain off until it is turned back on, or until
the vehicle is restarted.
Compass Operation
Press the compass/temperature button once
briey to turn the display on or off.
Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
If CAL is displayed while driving in the vehicle.
After approximately ve seconds, the display
does not show a compass heading, 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, magnetic note pad
holder, or a similar magnetic item.
The compass does not display the correct
heading and the compass zone variance
is set correctly.
In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the
mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed,
push in the compass/temperature button for
approximately nine seconds or until CAL is
displayed.
The 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 in zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if the
vehicle is outside zone eight. Under certain
circumstances, as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. Compass variance is the
difference between earth’s magnetic north and true
geographic north. If not adjusted to account for
compass variance, your compass could give false
readings.
167

To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the compass/temperature
button for six seconds until a zone number
appears in the display.3. Press the compass/temperature button on the
bottom of the mirror until the new zone
number appears in the display. After you stop
pressing the button, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
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 Manual Mirrors
Adjust your outside mirrors so you can just see
the side of your vehicle and have a clear view of
objects behind you. The mirrors can be folded
in to enter narrow areas.
The use of hood-mounted air deectors and
add-on convex mirror attachments may adversely
affect mirror performance.
168

Turn Signal Indicator
Your vehicle may have a turn signal indicator on
the mirror. An arrow on the mirror will ash in
the direction of the turn or lane change.
Ground Illumination Lamps
The mirrors may also include ground illumination
lamps in the base of the mirror. These lamps
help you see the area near the base of the front
doors when it is dark out.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature,
the driver’s outside mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is
controlled by the on and off settings found on the
electrochromic inside mirror. SeeAutomatic
Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar
®, Compass
and Temperature Display on page 162or
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass
and Temperature Display on page 166for more
information.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirrors
If your vehicle has the memory package, the
outside mirrors are able to perform the curb view
assist mirror function. This feature may be
useful in in allowing the driver to view the curb
when parallel parking. This feature will cause the
passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror to tilt to a
preselected position when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R).
The passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror will return to
its original position when the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) and either a thirty second delay has
occurred, the vehicle speed is greater than 8 mph
(12 km/h), or the ignition is turned to off.
This feature can be turned on or off through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDriver
Information Center (DIC) on page 260for more
information.

override button, located next to the exterior lamps
control, to keep the dome lamps off when a
door is open. To set the lamps to the automatic
operation, press the button again so that it is
extended. With the button in this position,
the dome lamps will come on when a door is
opened.
219

Entry Lighting
Your vehicle has an illuminated entry feature.
When the doors are opened, the dome lamps will
come on if the dome override button is in the
extended position. If the dome override button is
pressed in, the lamps will not come on.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on
when the key is removed from the ignition. They
will turn off automatically in 20 seconds. The lights
will not come on if the dome override button is
pressed in.
Reading Lamps
If your vehicle has reading lamps they are located
on the overhead console.
To turn on the reading lamps, press the button
located next to each lamp. To turn them off, press
the button again.Your vehicle may also have reading lamps in other
locations. To turn the lamps on or off, press the
button located next to the lamp.
The lamps are xed and cannot be adjusted.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM)
that estimates the battery’s temperature and state
of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best
performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or voltage
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you
may see the voltage move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be
displayed.
220

The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for
all vehicles. This is because the generator
(alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at
idle to produce all the power that is needed for very
high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s
output and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It
can increase engine idle speed to generate more
power, whenever needed. It can temporarily
reduce the power demands of some accessories.Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels,
without being noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action, this action may
be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or Service
Battery Charging System. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as possible.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 270.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, and reading
lamps if they are left on for more than 10 minutes
when the ignition is off. This will keep the
battery from running down.
221

The URPA display is
located near the
passenger side rear
window and can
be seen by looking over
your right shoulder.
The URPA display has three color-coded lights.
The lights are used to provide distance and system
information, along with beeps that will be heard
through the speakers.
URPA can be turned off
by pressing the rear park
aid disable button
located next to the radio.
The indicator light will
come on to indicate that
URPA is off.The red light in the URPA display will also be lit if
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). If the vehicle
has a Driver Information Center (DIC), PARKING
ASSIST OFF will display on the screen. URPA
automatically turns back on each time the vehicle
is started.
How the System Works
When the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R),
the rear display will briey come on to let you
know the display is operating correctly. URPA
comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into REVERSE (R).
The system does not work at a reverse speed
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). To remind you of this,
the red light on the rear display will ash.
223

How the System Works when Backing
If the shift lever is in REVERSE (R), URPA detects
objects close to the rear bumper. The rst time an
object is detected a single beep will sound. If an
object is detected at a REVERSE (R) speed
between 0 mph (0 km/h) and 5 mph (8 km/h), the
following describes what will occur based on your
distance to a detected object located behind the
vehicle:
At distances between 40 inches (1 m) and
8 ft (2.5 m), a single amber light will come on.
At distances between 23 inches (0.6 m) and
40 inches (1 m), both amber lights will be on.
At distances between 12 inches (0.3 m) and
23 inches (0.6 m), all three lights (amber/
amber/red) will be on.
At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m), a
beeping sound will repeat for a short time and
all three lights (amber/amber/red) will ash.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the URPA system will not activate due to a
temporary condition, the message PARKING
ASSIST OFF will be displayed on the DIC screen
and a red light will come on the URPA display
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R).
This occurs under the following conditions:
The driver disables the system.
The parking brake pedal is depressed.
A trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a
bicycle or an object was hanging out of
your trunk during your last drive when you
turned off the vehicle. If the attached objects
are removed from your vehicle before the start
of your next drive, the system will return to
normal operation unless an object is detected
when the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE
(R). If this occurs, URPA assumes the object
is still attached, so you will have to wait
until the vehicle is driven forward above
15 mph (25 km/h) before URPA will return to
normal operation.
224

The ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So,
be sure to keep your vehicle’s rear bumper
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush.
For cleaning instructions, seeWashing Your
Vehicle on page 557. If the DIC still displays
the PARKING ASSIST OFF message
after cleaning the bumper and driving forward
at a speed of at least 15 mph (25 km/h),
see your dealer.
Other conditions that may affect system
performance include vibrations from a
jackhammer or the compression of air brakes
on a very large truck or other mechanical
devices that interfere with URPA performance.
When URPA is disabled without driver
action and the driver attempts to turn URPA
back on by pressing the rear park aid
button, the indicator light will ash for
3 seconds and then stay lit to indicate that
URPA is off.
As always, drivers should use care when backing
up a vehicle. Always look behind you, being
sure to check for other vehicles, obstructions and
blind spots.For Driver Information Center messages related to
URPA, seeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 270.
If the vehicle bumper is damaged, the URPA
system may not work properly. Take the vehicle to
your dealer to repair the system.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
Accessory power outlets can be used to
connect auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a
cellular telephone or CB radio. The outlet can
accept electrical equipment up to a maximum of
20 amperes.
There are four accessory power outlets. There are
two under the climate controls, one on the back
of the oor console and a additional accessory
power outlet in the rear cargo area on the
passenger side.
