1-4 Memory Seat (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature the controls are
located on the driver's door,
and are used to program and
recall memory settings for
the driver's seating and
outside mirror positions.
Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback recliner
and lumbar) and both of the outside mirrors to the
desired position. Then press and hold button 1
(for driver 1) for three seconds. A chime will sound
to let you know that the position has been stored.A second mirror and seating position can be
programmed by repeating the procedure with a
second driver and pressing button 2 for three seconds.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory position will
be recalled. Each time a memory button is pressed,
a single chime will sound.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver's seat
and mirror positions will be recalled if programmed to
do so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the memory controls.
The seat and mirror positions can also be recalled by
placing the key in the ignition if programmed to do
so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls or
memory buttons.

Two personalized exit positions can be set by first
recalling the driver's position (by pressing 1 or 2), then
positioning the seat in the desired exit position for that
driver. Then press and hold the button with the exit
symbol for three seconds. A chime will sound to let you
know that the position has been stored. With the vehicle
in PARK (P), the exit position for that driver can be
recalled by pressing the exit button. The mirrors,
power lumbar and recline positions will not be stored
or recalled for the exit positions.
Programming for automatic seat and mirror movement
can be done through the Driver Information Center
(DIC). You can choose to either select or not select
automatic seat and mirror movement by using the
remote keyless entry transmitter, by placing your
key in the ignition, or when exiting the vehicle. For
programming information, see ªVehicle Programming
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.Heated Front Seats (Option)
Your vehicle may have
heated front seats. The
buttons used to control this
feature are located on the
front door armrests. The
engine must be running
for the heated seat feature
to work.
The horizontal button with the heated seat symbol
is used to control the temperature settings high,
medium and low. Press the button to cycle through the
temperature settings and to turn the heated seat off. An
indicator light will glow beside the temperature selected.
The low setting warms the seatback and cushion until
the seat temperature is near body temperature. The
medium and high settings heat the seatback and seat
cushion to a slightly higher temperature. You will be
able to feel heat in about two minutes.
To heat only the seatback, press the vertical button with
the heated seatback symbol. Press the vertical button
again to heat the whole seat.
The feature will shut off automatically when the ignition
is turned off.

Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow
you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it. The bottom of the outside
rearview mirrors may also be equipped with lane
change indicators.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows flash
more quickly than normal, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won't see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index) and for burned
-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, a different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will flash
even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they
are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the turn
signal. To turn off the chime, move the turn signal lever
to the off position.

Windshield Wipers
: Mist
: Off
You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to mist. Hold it
there until the wipers start. Then let go. The wipers will
stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the
band on mist longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to the top of the lever, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the first solid band past the delay settings.
For high
-speed wiping, turn the band further, to the
second solid band past the delay settings. To stop the
wipers, move the band to off.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Rainsense
Wipers (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with Rainsense
windshield wipers. When active, these wipers are able to
detect moisture on the windshield and automatically turn
on the wipers.
The moisture sensor is located next to the inside
rearview mirror and is mounted on the windshield.
To turn on the Rainsense feature, the wipers must be set
to one of the five delay settings on the multifunction
lever. Each of the five settings adjusts the sensitivity of
the rainsensor. For more wipes, select the higher
settings; for fewer wipes, select the lower settings
located closer to off on the multifunction lever.
The rainsensor will automatically control the frequency
of the wipes from off to high speed according to the
weather conditions. The wipers can be left in a rainsense
mode even when it is not raining.
NOTICE:
Turn the multifunction lever to off to avoid
wiper damage when going through an automatic
car wash.

Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass and OnStar
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle has an automatic-dimming rearview mirror
with a compass and the OnStar system.
This is the on/off button.There are three buttons for the OnStar system. See your
dealer for more information on the system and how to
subscribe to OnStar. See ªOnStar

Systemº in the Index
for more information about the services OnStar provides.
Automatic Dimming Feature
When turned on, an electrochromic mirror automatically
dims to the proper level to minimize glare from any
headlamps behind you after dark.
The automatic dimming feature is turned on and off by
pressing the far left button, located on the lower part of
the mirror face, for up to three seconds. A light on the
mirror will be lit when the feature is turned on. It will go
out when the feature is turned off.
Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass
on or off.
There is a compass display in the window in the upper
right corner of the mirror face. The compass displays a
maximum of two characters. For example, ªNEº is
displayed for north
-east.

2-50
Compass Calibration
Press and hold the on/off button down for nine seconds
to activate the compass calibration mode. ªCALº will be
displayed in the compass window on the mirror.
The mirror can be calibrated in one of two ways:

Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less
until the display shows ªCAL,º or

drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.
(This method may take longer to calibrate).
Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, such 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.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the map.2. Press and hold the on/off button for six seconds.
Release the button when ªZONEº is displayed.
The number shown is the current zone number.
3. Scroll through the zone numbers that appear in the
compass/temperature window on the mirror by
pressing the on/off button. Once you find your zone
number, release the button. After about four seconds,
the mirror will return to the compass and
temperature display, and the new zone number will
be set.
