2-32 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. When signaling a lane
change a light will flash on the bottom of the driver's
or passenger's outside rearview mirror.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 center.

2-34 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.

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 a compass and the OnStar system.

2-47 Outside Mirrors

the side of your vehicle.

To do this, pull the mirrors in toward the vehicle.

This control is located on the driver's door.
Turn the control to the left or right to choose the mirror;
then press the control to move the mirror in the direction
that you want the mirror to go. To secure the mirror
settings turn the knob back to the center position.
Convex Outside Mirror
A convex mirror's surface is curved so you can see more
from the driver's seat.
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 or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver's and passenger's outside
rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice, snow and
condensation. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the
Index for more information.

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.
