Power Windows
Switches on the driver’s door armrest control each of
the windows while the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active. In addition, each
passenger’s door armrest has a separate window switch.
Express-Down Window
The driver’s and right front passenger’s windows have
an express-down feature. When a window switch is
pressed all the way rearward and then released,
the window will lower completely. The window can be
opened in smaller amounts by pressing the switch
rearward slightly,
to the first stop.
To stop the window while it is lowering in the express
mode, press the switch again, then release.
To raise the
window, hold the switch forward.
Window Lock Out
Press the LOCK button on the driver’s door armrest to
disable all passenger window controls. When the
passenger’s windows are disabled, the driver’s window
switches will still be operable. You can also use the
Driver Information Center (DIC) to lock out only the rear
window controls. See
Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page
3-45.
Press the LOCK button again to allow passengers to
use their window controls.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can swing down the visors. You
can also remove them from the center mount and
swing them
to the side, while the auxiliary visor remains
to block glare from the front.
To extend the visor at the sides, pull out the extension.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
When you open the cover to the driver’s or passenger’s
side visor vanity mirror, the lamps
will come on.

Mirrors Compass Operation
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with a compass. Your vehicle’s mirror may
also contain Onstar@ controls. See
OnStaP System on
page 2-39 for more information.
The mirror also includes an eight-point compass display
in the upper right corner of the mirror face.
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.
Mirror Operation
MIRROR: Press this button to turn on the automatic
dimming feature. Press it again to turn
off the automatic
dimming feature.
6 (On/Off): For mirrors equipped with OnStara
controls, press and hold this button for several seconds
to turn on the automatic dimming feature. Press and
hold it again to turn the automatic dimming feature
off.
The green indicator light will come on when this
feature is active. The automatic dimming feature will be
active each time the vehicle is started. COMPASS:
Press this button once to turn the compass
on or
off.
6 (On/Off): For mirrors equipped with Onstar@
controls, press this 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
approximately two seconds. After two seconds, the
mirror will display the compass heading.
Compass Calibration
When on, the compass automatically calibrates as the
vehicle is driven.
If, after two seconds, the display
does not show a compass heading (N for North, for
example), there may be a strong magnetic field
interfering with the compass. Such interference may be
caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic
note pad holder or a similar magnetic item.
If the
letter C shmrld ever anpear in the compass window. the
compass may need calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at
5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a
direction.
Mirrors equipped with Onstar@ controls can be placed
in calibration mode by pressing and holding the
on/off button until a
C is shown in the compass display.

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
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.
2. Press and hold COMPASS (or the on/off button for
mirrors equipped with Onstar@ controls) until a
zone number appears in the display.
3. Once a zone number appears in the display, press
the COMPASS button (or the on/off button for
mirrors equipped with Onstar@ controls) quickly until
the correct zone number appears in the display.
Stop pressing the button and the mirror will return to
normal operation. If C appears in the compass
window, the compass may need calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” explained previously.

The controls for the outside power mirrors are located
on the driver’s door armrest.
Press the left or right side of the
UR selector switch
or right mirror.
To adjust the mirror, use one of the four arrows located
on the control pad to move the mirror in the direction
you want it to go. When finished adjusting the mirrors,

each outside mirror
so that you can see a little of
your vehicle and the area behind your vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with the memory function,
the mirrors and driver’s seat position can be stored into
memory. See
Memory Seat and Mirrors on page 2-48.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If you have the memory seat and mirrors feature, the
passenger’s outside power mirror also includes a
tilt-down feature that operates when the shift lever is in
REVERSE
(R). When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE
(R), the passenger’s mirror will return to its
original position after a five-second delay. This delay
prevents movement of the mirror
if multiple gear
transitions (REVERSE
(R) to DRIVE (D) to
REVERSE
(R)) occur during a parallel parking
maneuver. This feature can be programmed on or
off
through the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on
page 3-45 or DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-52

If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver’s door
panel, and are used to
program and recall
memory settings for the
driver’s seating, outside
mirror positions and
climate controls. See

on page 3-23
for more information.
To save your seat and mirror positions into memory,
use the following procedure:
1. First identify the DRIVER # on the Driver information
Center (DIC) by pressing the MEMORY
button
(1 or 2) or by pressing the button with the
unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter. See
Driver Information Center (DE) on
page
3-45.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat and lumbar position to a
safe and comfortable driving position. Adjust both
outside mirrors to suit you. See
Outside Power
Mirrors
on page 2-37.
3. Press and hold the MEMORY button (1 or 2)
corresponding with your DRIVER # displayed on the
DIC for longer than three seconds. You will hear
two beeps confirming that the seat and mirror
positions have been entered into memory.
To set the seat and mirror positions for a second driver,
follow the previous steps, but start by pressing the
button with the unlock symbol on the transmitter that
displays the other DRIVER
# on the DIC. Be sure to use
the MEMORY button
(1 or 2) which corresponds to
the DRIVER
# identified by the second transmitter.
