Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®, Compass and
Temperature Display
When on, an automatic dimming mirror
automatically dims to the proper level to minimize
glare from lights behind you after dark.
The mirror also includes a dual display in the
upper right corner of the mirror face. The compass
reading and the outside temperature will both
appear in the display at the same time.
P(On/Off):This is the on/off button.
Temperature and Compass Display
Press the on/off button, located to the far
left, briey to turn the compass/temperature
display on or off.
If the display reads CAL, you will need to calibrate
the compass. For more information on calibration,
see below.To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius do the
following:
1. Press and hold the on/off button for
approximately four seconds until either a
ashing F or C appears.
2. Press the button again to change the display
to the desired unit of measurement. After
approximately four seconds of inactivity,
the new unit will be locked in and the
compass/temperature display will return.
If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed
for an extended period of time, please consult your
dealer. Under certain circumstances, a delay in
updating the temperature is normal.

Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror function is turned on
automatically each time the ignition is started.
To operate the automatic dimming mirror, do the
following:
1. Make sure the green indicator light, located to
the left of the on/off button, is lit. If it’s not, press
and hold the on/off button for approximately
six seconds until the green light comes on,
indicating that the mirror is in automatic
dimming mode.
2. Turn off the automatic dimming mirror function
by pressing and holding the on/off button for
approximately six seconds, until the green
indicator light turns off.
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 you live
outside of 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.
To adjust for compass variance do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the following zone map.
159

2. Press and hold the on/off button untilaZand
a zone number appear in the display. The
compass is now in zone mode.
3. Keep pressing the on/off button until the
desired zone number appears in the display.
Release the button. After approximately
four seconds of inactivity, the new zone
number will be locked in and the compass/
temperature display will return.
4. Calibrate the compass as described below.
Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
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 the on/off button for approximately
12 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.
Cleaning the Mirror
When 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.

This mirror has the following features.
Automatic Dimming
The driver’s outside mirror will adjust for the glare
of the headlamps behind you. SeeAutomatic
Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar
®, Compass
and Temperature Display on page 158.
Curb View Assist
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 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), or the ignition is
turned off or to LOCK.
This feature can be turned on or off through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDriver
Information Center (DIC) on page 244.

Heated Mirrors
The button to turn the heated mirrors on or off is
located on the climate control panel. Press
this button to warm the driver’s and passenger’s
outside rearview mirrors to help clear them of
ice, snow, and condensation.
See “Rear Window Defogger” underDual
Automatic Climate Control System on page 214
for more information.
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 may have convex
glass. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more
can be seen from the driver’s seat.
Your vehicle has a turn signal indicator on the
mirror. An arrow on the mirror will ash in
the direction of the turn or lane change.

Rainsense™ II Wipers
Your vehicle has Rainsense™ II windshield
wipers. These wipers automatically turn on when
a sensor, mounted next to the inside rearview
mirror, detects moisture on the windshield. When
active, these wipers are able to detect moisture
on the windshield and automatically turn on
the wipers.
To turn on the Rainsense™ feature, the wipers
must be set to one of the ve delay settings. Each
of the ve settings adjusts the sensitivity of the
rainsensor.
Since different drivers have different setting
preferences, it is recommended that the mid-range
setting, position three, be used initially. For more
wipes, select the higher settings; for fewer wipes,
select the lower settings located closer to the off
position 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.
When Rainsense™ II is active, the headlamps will
turn on automatically after approximately eight
wipes. The headlamps will turn off if the wiper
switch is set to a delay position, and there have
been no wipes for approximately three minutes, or
if the wiper switch is turned to the off position. If
it is dark outside, the headlamps will remain on.
Notice:Going through an automatic car wash
with the wipers on can damage them. Turn
the wipers off when going through an
automatic car wash.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
to turn on the rear window defogger. It will
automatically turn off several minutes after it
has been activated. The defogger can also be
turned off by pressing the button again or by
turning off the engine. Do not drive the vehicle until
all the windows are clear.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview
mirrors, the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or
frost from the surface of the mirror when the
rear window defog button is pressed.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on
the side of your instrument panel to direct
the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction (such as
leaves). The heater and defroster will work
better, reducing the chance of fogging
the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set
the fan speed to maximum airow for a few
moments before driving. This helps clear
the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the inside
of your window.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
