2-15 Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key? What if you have to leave something
valuable in your vehicle?

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
glove box.

If your vehicle has a remote keyless entry system,
take the transmitter with you.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.

Then take the door key with you.
Content Theft-Deterrent (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a content
theft
-deterrent alarm system.
United States Canada
With this system, the SECURITY light will flash as you
open the door (if your ignition is off).
This light reminds you to activate the theft
-deterrent
system. Here's how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry transmitter. The SECURITY
light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes off.

2-44 Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, vanity,
reading, glove box and underhood lamps if they are left
on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is off.
This will keep your battery from running down.
If the battery run
-down protection shuts off the interior
lamps, it may be necessary to do one of the following to
return to normal operation:

Shut off all lamps and close all doors, or

turn the ignition key to RUN.
This feature will also turn off the parking lamps and
headlamps under most circumstances, if they are left on.
If you would like to turn them back on, turn the exterior
lamps knob on.
Mirrors
Adjust all the mirrors so you can see clearly when you
are sitting in a comfortable driving position.
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass and OnStar
Your vehicle has an automatic-dimming rearview mirror
with a compass and the OnStar system.

2-48 Electrochromic Rearview Outside Mirror
with Curb View Assist (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, the driver's outside
mirror will adjust for the glare of the headlamps behind
you. See ªElectrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass and OnStar

º earlier in this section.
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors,
it will also be capable of performing the curb view assist
mirror function. 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). This feature may
be useful in allowing you to view the curb when you are
parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
short delay has occurred, the passenger's 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
REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R), this new position is saved in memory
as the tilt position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center. See ªPersonalization Featuresº in
the Index for more information.
