Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
When you are sitting in a comfortable driving position,
adjust the mirror
so you can see clearly behind your
vehicle. Grip the mirror in the center to move it up
or down and side to side. The dayhight adjustment
allows you
to adjust the mirror to avoid glare from any
headlamps behind you. Push the tab away from
you for daytime use; pull it toward you for night use.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror. Your vehicle’s mirror may also contain Onstar@
controls. See
OnStaP System on page 2-40 for
more information.
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare. This change may take
a few seconds. The mirror will return to its clear
daytime state when the glare is reduced.
Mirror Operation
AUTO: Press this button to turn on the automatic
dimming feature.
OFF: Press this button to turn off the automatic
dimming feature.
6 (On/Off): For mirrors equipped with OnStaP
controls, press this button to turn on the automatic
dimming feature. To turn
off automatic dimming, press
this button again.
The indicator light will be illuminated when this feature
is active.
Outside Power Mirrors
The controls for the outside power mirrors are located
on the driver’s door armrest.
2-38

Press the left or right side of the UR selector switch
located beneath the control pad to choose the left
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,
leave the UR selector switch in the center position,
to prevent unwanted mirror movement in case the
control pad is accidentally bumped while driving. Adjust
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.
Qutside 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 wtii return to ils
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 personalization programming menu.
See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-62 for
programming instructions.
Outside Convex Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved
so you can see more from the
ver’s seat.
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.
Outside Heated Mirrors
If vour vehicle has this feature, when you operate the
rear window defogger, the heated driver’s and
passenger’s outside power mirrors are warmed to help
clear them of ice and snow. See “Rear Window
Defogger’’ under
Climate Control System on page 3-25
or Automatic Climate Control System on page 3-28
for more information.

2-42

Programming the HomeLinkB
Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink@ Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLink@ programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink@ buttons should be erased
for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink@
Buttons” or, for assistance, contact HomeLink@ on the
internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling
1 -800-355-351 5.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door or gate operator you are programming. When
programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside
of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency. Your vehicle’s engine should
be turned
off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons,
releasing only when the indicator light begins to
flash, after
20 seconds. Do not hold down the
buttons for longer than
30 seconds and do not
repeat this step to program
a second and/or third
transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink@
buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
button on HomeLink@ and the hand-held transmitter
button.
Do not release the buttons until Step 4
has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to substitute Step
3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this section.
4. The indicator light wiii tiasn siowiy at iirsi and iilerl
rapidly after HomeLink@ successfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons.
2-43

5. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLink@ button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device should
activate when the HomeLink@ button is pressed and
released.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 under “Programming HomeLink@.”
Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of the
programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds
and then turns to a constant light, continue with
Steps
6 through 8 following to complete the
programming
of a rolling-code equipped device
(most commonly, a garage door opener).
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head
unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. The name and color
of the button may
vary by manufacturer.
You will have
30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the
programmed HomeLink@ button for two seconds,
then release. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence a second time, and depending on the
2-44
brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling
code device), repeat this sequence
a third time
to complete the programming.
HomeLink@ should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 of “Programming HomeLink@.” Do not
repeat Step
1.
Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals
to “time out” or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink@ to pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some
U.S. gate operators are manufactured to
“time out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the
“Programming HomeLink@’ procedures (regardless
of
where you live), replace Step 3 under “Programming
HomeLink@’ with the following:
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink@ button while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle)
your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has
been successfully accepted by HomeLink@. The
indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step
4 under “Programming HomeLink@“
to complete.

Using HomeLink@
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink@ button for at
least half of a second. The indicator light will come
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLink@ Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
the indicator light begins to flash, after
20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than
HomeLink@ is now in the train jiearning) mode
and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step
2
under “Programming HomeLink@.”
30 seconds.
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink@ Button” next.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink@
Button
To program a device to HomeLink@ using a HomeLink@
button previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink@ button.
Do not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after
20 seconds. While still holding the HomeLink@
button, proceed with Step
2 under “Programming
HomeLink@.”
Resetting Defaults
1. Hold down the two outside buttons for about
20 seconds until the indicator light begins to flash.
2. Continue to hold both buttons until the HomeLink@
indicator light turns
off.
3. Release both buttons.
