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

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.

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.

Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp or cigarette lighters. When the ignition is
turned
off, the power to these features will automatically
turn
off after 10 minutes. Power will be restored for
an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk
is opened or the courtesy lamps are turned on. To
restore power back to the cigarette lighters the ignition
must be turned back to
ON.
Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at
higher revolutions per minute (rpm) than normal to
make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads
may occur when several
of the following are on:
headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window
defogger, fan on high speed, heated seats and engine
cooling fans.
If your vehicle’s battery remains in a heavy discharge
condition for a long period of time, the fan, rear
defogger, heated seats and heated mirrors will be
disabled and the DIC will display BATTERY SAVER
ACTIVE. This can happen either under long periods of
idling or low speed driving with high electrical loading,
or in the event of a charging system fault.
Monitor the battery voltage when in the BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE mode.
If the voltmeter remains in the shaded area (below
11 volts) when driving then have the charging
system serviced immediately.
If the voltage increases above 12 volts then the
battery needs to be recharged.
Try driving on
the highway with as few electrical accessories on
as possible.

@ FRONT (Defrost): Pressing this button directs
most of the air to the windshield and the outboard outlets
(for the side windows), with some air directed to the
floor outlets. When you select this mode, the system
turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is at
or below freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in the FRONT defrost mode.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
ISH] REAR: Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or
off. Be sure to clear as much snow from
the rear window as possible.
The rear window defogger will turn
off approximately
10 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on
again, the defogger
will only run for approximately five minutes before turning
off. If you maintain
a speed
above
30 mph (48 km/h), the rear defogger will not turn
off automatically to help keep the rear glass clear.
The defogger can also be turned
off by pressing the
button again or by turning
off the engine.
if your vehicle has outside heated mirrors, the mirrors
will heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror when the rear window defogger button is
pressed.
Notice: Don’t use a razor blade or something else
sharp on the inside of the rear window.
If you
do, you could cut or damage the defogger and the
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.

a temporary vehicie iicense, tape, a
decal or anything similar to the defogger grid.
