for more information.
The following features, if available on your vehicle, can
be programmed to each driver’s preference.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
Security Feedback
Delayed Locking
Perimeter Lighting
Seat and Mirror Recall
If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information
Center (DIC), you must program these features through
the DIC. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-64.
Security Feedback
This feature provides feedback to the driver when the
vehicle receives a command from the remote keyless

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.
Visor Vanity Mirror
Open the cover to expose the vanity mirror.
If your vehicle has the optional lighted vanity mirrors,
the lamps come on when you open the cover.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Universal Theft-Deterrent
If your vehicle has this feature, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system. With this system, the SECURITY light will
ash as you open the door if your ignition is in OFF.
This light on the instrument panel cluster reminds you
to activate the theft-deterrent system when leaving
your vehicle.
To activate the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch while
the door is open, or use the remote keyless entry
transmitter, if equipped. The SECURITY light should
come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after about 30 seconds and the system will then
be armed. United States and V6

Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
While 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 control at the bottom of the mirror is the
day/night feature that allows adjustment to the mirror so
that the glare of headlamps from behind is reduced. Push
the tab for daytime use; pull it for night use.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
The vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror. It may also have OnStar®controls. SeeOnStar®
System on page 2-39for more information.
At night, when glare from lights is high, the mirror will
gradually darken. This change may take a few seconds.
The mirror will return to its clear daytime state when
glare is reduced.

dimming feature.
OFF:Press this button to turn off the automatic
dimming feature.
O(On/Off):For mirrors equipped with OnStar®

Outside Power Mirrors
The controls for the outside power mirrors are located
on the driver’s door armrest.
Press the left or right side of the L/R 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 nished adjusting the mirrors,
leave the L/R 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. SeeMemory Seat and Mirrors on page 2-46.
2-37

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 ve-second delay. This delay
prevents movement of the mirror if multiple gear
transitions (REVERSE (R) to AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (D) to REVERSE (R)) occur during a
parallel parking maneuver. This feature can be
programmed on or off through the DIC personalization
programming menu. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 3-64for programming instructions.
Outside Convex Mirror
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen 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 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 your 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” underClimate Control System on page 3-25
orAutomatic Climate Control System on page 3-28
for more information.

opening, pressing the switch in any direction will stop it
in a partially-opened position. The glass panel may
be fully opened by pressing the switch rearward again.
If you press and hold the switch in the express open
position for more than one and a half seconds, the
express open operation will be overridden and
the sunroof will operate manually.

switch forward. As the glass panel reaches the closed
position, it will open slightly toward the vent position and
then drop down to the closed position to provide a
better seal. The sunshade must be closed manually.

the vent position by pushing the switch upward. To
close the glass panel, pull the switch downward. The
sunshade must be opened and closed manually for vent
operation.Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat and Mirrors
If your vehicle has this

Front Reading Lamps
The front reading lamps, located on the headliner, will
come on as courtesy lamps when you open any of
the doors while it is dark outside. They will also come
on as part of the interior lighting features listed
previously.
To turn on a reading lamp when the doors are closed,
press either button. Press it again to turn the lamp off.
To avoid draining your vehicle’s battery, be sure to
turn off the reading lamps when leaving your vehicle.
See “Inadvertent Power Battery Saver” later in this
section for more information.
Rear Reading Lamps
The rear reading lamps, located over each rear door,
will come on as courtesy lamps when you open
any of the doors while it is dark outside. They will also
come on as part of the interior lighting features listed
previously.
To turn on a reading lamp when the doors are closed,
press either button. Press it again to turn the lamp off.
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.
