Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
The mirror can be adjusted two ways. First, to adjust
the height of the mirror, adjust the arm that connects the
mirror to the windshield. Second, adjust the angle of
the mirror, by moving the mirror to a position that allows
you to see out of the back window.
To reduce glare from headlamps behind you, move the
lever toward you to the night position. To return the
mirror to the daytime position, move the lever away
from you.
Manual Rearview Mirror with
OnStar
®
Your vehicle may have a rearview mirror with the
OnStar®system.
Control buttons for the OnStar
®system are at the
bottom of the mirror. See your GM dealer for more
information on the OnStar
®system and how to
subscribe to OnStar®. Also, seeOnStar®System on
page 2-44for more information about the services
OnStar
®provides.
Mirror Operation
While sitting in a comfortable driving position, adjust the
rearview mirror so you can see clearly behind your
vehicle. Grip it in the center to move it up or down and
side to side. The day/night control, located at the
bottom of the mirror, adjusts the mirror to reduce
headlamp glare from behind during evening or dark
conditions. Move the control to the right for night
conditions. Return it to the center for daytime use.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with a compass and OnStar®controls. For
more information about OnStar®, seeOnStar®System
on page 2-44.
The automatic dimming feature turns on each time the
vehicle is started. To turn automatic dimming off or
on, press the left button below the mirror. A green
indicator light will be on when automatic dimming is on.
There are also three OnStar
®buttons located at the
bottom of the mirror. See your dealer for more
information on the system and how to subscribe to
OnStar
®. SeeOnStar®System on page 2-44for more
information about the service OnStar®provides.

Outside Power Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors,
are located on the
driver’s door.
Move the selector switch located next to the control pad
to the left or right to choose either the driver’s side or
passenger’s side mirror. To adjust a mirror, use the
arrows located on the control pad to move the mirror in
the desired direction. Adjust each outside mirror so
that a little of the vehicle and the area behind it can be
seen while sitting in a comfortable driving position.
Keep the selector switch in the center position when not
adjusting either outside mirror.
Both mirrors can manually be folded by pulling them
toward the vehicle. This feature may be useful
when going through a car wash or a conned space.
Push the mirrors away from the vehicle, to the normal
position, before driving.
Outside Convex Mirror
{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.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver’s seat. It also makes things, like other vehicles,
look farther away than they really are.
