Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
The vehicle has an automatic dimming rearview
mirror. It may also have an OnStar®system. OnStar
control buttons are located at the bottom of the mirror.
SeeOnStar
®System on page 2-54for more
information about the services OnStar provides.
O(On/Off):Press to turn the automatic dimming
feature on or off.
Your vehicle may also have a Rear Vision Camera.
SeeRear Vision Camera (RVC) on page 2-50for more
information.
Cleaning the Mirror
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror.
Use a soft towel dampened with water.
Outside Power Foldaway Mirrors
If your vehicle has outside
power foldaway mirrors,
the controls are located on
the driver’s door armrest.
Mirror Adjustment
1. Press (A) or (B) to select the driver or passenger
side mirror.
2. Press one of the four arrows located on the control
pad to move the mirror to the desired position.
3. Adjust each outside mirror so that a little of the
vehicle and the area behind can be seen.
2-47

4. Press (C), to fold the mirrors out to the driving
position.
5. Press (D) to fold the mirrors in to the folded
position.
If the mirrors are accidentally folded/unfolded manually,
they may shake or utter at normal driving speeds
and may not stay in the unfolded position. If this
happens, you will need to reset the mirrors.
See “Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors” next.
Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors
You will need to reset the power foldaway mirrors if the
following occurs:
The mirrors are accidentally obstructed while
folding.
They are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded position.
The mirrors shake and utter at normal driving
speeds.
To reset the power foldaway mirrors, fold and unfold
them three times using the mirror controls. This will reset
them to their normal position.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If the vehicle has this feature, the driver outside
mirror adjusts for the glare of the headlamps behind
you. SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror on
page 2-47for more information.
Park Tilt Mirrors
The vehicle’s outside mirrors can also perform a park tilt
function. This causes the passenger and/or driver’s mirror
to tilt to a preselected position when the vehicle is in
R (Reverse). This feature may be useful in viewing the
curb when parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse) and a
short delay has occurred, the passenger and/or driver’s
mirror will return to its original position.
To change the preselected tilt position, adjust the
mirrors to the desired position while the vehicle is
in R (Reverse). When the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), this new position is saved in memory
as the tilt position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center. SeeDIC Vehicle Customization
on page 3-64for more information.

Object Detection Systems
Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
This vehicle may have a Rear Vision Camera system.
Read this entire section before using it.
{CAUTION:
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC) system does not
replace driver vision. RVC does not:
Detect objects that are outside the camera’s
eld of view, below the bumper, or
underneath the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or pets.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at the rear
vision camera screen, or use the screen during
longer, higher speed backing maneuvers or where
there could be cross-traffic. Your judged distances
using the screen will differ from actual distances.
So if you do not use proper care before backing
up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian,
bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage,
injury, or death. Even though the vehicle has
the RVC system, always check carefully before
backing up by checking behind and around the
vehicle.
Vehicles Without Navigation System
The rear vision camera system is designed to help the
driver when backing up by displaying a view of the area
behind the vehicle. When the key is in the ON/RUN
position and the driver shifts the vehicle into R (Reverse),
the video image automatically appears on the inside rear
view mirror. Once the driver shifts out of R (Reverse),
the video image automatically disappears from the inside
rear view mirror.

The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor, defog,
or defrost modes. If recirculation is selected with one of
those modes, the indicator light ashes three times and
then turns off. The air conditioning compressor also
comes on when this mode is activated. While in
recirculation mode the windows may fog when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, select either
the defog or defrost mode and increase the fan speed.
The recirculation mode can also be turned off by turning
off the ignition.
;(Outside Air, If Equipped):Press to turn on the
outside air mode. An indicator light comes on to show that
outside air is on. Air from outside is circulated throughout
the vehicle. The outside air mode can be used with all
modes, but it cannot be used with the recirculation mode.
REAR:For vehicles with the rear heat and air
conditioning controls. Press to turn the rear climate
control system on or off. SeeRear Air Conditioning
and Heating System and Electronic Climate Controls
on page 3-28.
Rear Window Defogger

remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. It automatically turns off
several minutes after it has been activated. The defogger
can also be turned off by turning off the engine. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.

3-26

Assist Steps
If your vehicle has removable side steps, remove the
steps prior to off-roading to give your vehicle more
ground clearance and to prevent damage to the vehicle
from the side steps dragging and/or catching on
obstacles.
Notice:Do not drive off-road with the side steps
attached to your vehicle. You can damage the side
steps and/or your vehicle’s frame if they get caught
or drag against an obstacle. This damage would not
be covered by your vehicle’s warranty. Always
remove the side steps prior to any off-road driving.
Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving
because some drivers are likely to be impaired — by
alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue.
Night driving tips include:
Drive defensively.
Do not drink and drive.
Reduce headlamp glare by adjusting the inside
rearview mirror.
Slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles because headlamps can only light up
so much road ahead.
Watch for animals.
When tired, pull off the road.
Do not wear sunglasses.
Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps.
Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle
clean — inside and out.
Keep your eyes moving, especially during turns or
curves.
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime.
But, as we get older, these differences increase.
A 50-year-old driver might need at least twice as much
light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.

Before Leaving on a Long Trip
To prepare your vehicle for a long trip, consider having
it serviced by your dealer/retailer before departing.
Things to check on your own include:
Windshield Washer Fluid:Reservoir full? Windows
clean — inside and outside?
Wiper Blades:In good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids:All levels checked?
Lamps:Do they all work and are lenses clean?
Tires:Are treads good? Are tires inated to
recommended pressure?
Weather and Maps:Safe to travel? Have
up-to-date maps?
Highway Hypnosis
Always be alert and pay attention to your surroundings
while driving. If you become tired or sleepy, nd a
safe place to park your vehicle and rest.
Other driving tips include:
Keep the vehicle well ventilated.
Keep interior temperature cool.
Keep your eyes moving — scan the road ahead
and to the sides.
Check the rearview mirror and vehicle instruments
often.
