1998 GMC ENVOY rear view mirror

You can use the DOME OVERRIDE button, located Mirrors
below the parking/headlamp knob, to set the dome
lamps to come
on automatically when the doors are Electrochromic Daymight Inside Rearview
opened, or to remain off. To turn the lamps off, press the Mirror
button once into the “in” position. With the button in
this position, the dome lamps will remain off when the
doors are open.
To return the lamps to automatic
operation, press the button again and return it to the
“out” position. With the button in this position, the dome
lamps will come on when you open the door. This will
not override the illuminated entry feature.
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:
0 Shut off all lamps and close all doors, or
Turn the ignition key to RUN.
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on
the back of the
mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell
built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.
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. The vehicle will also
return to its clear daytime state when the vehicle is put
into
REVERSE (R).

Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface
is curved so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
Storage Compartments
Glove Box
To open your glove box, lift the lever on the front of the
glove box and lower the door.
The glove box should not
1 be open while driving.
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.
4 Overhead Console
Heated Outside Rearview Mirror
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 and snow.
See “Rear Window Defogger” in the Index for
more information. The
overhead console includes reading lamps, a driver
information system,
a storage compartment for
sunglasses and a universal transmitter.

Your vehicle will require more frequent service due to
off-road use. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule for

Drivin at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One
reason is that some drivers are likely to be
impaired
-- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems. or by fatigue. Here
are some tips on night driving.
0 Drive defensively.
0 Don't drink and drive.
0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the
0 Since you can't see as well, you may need to slow
c2 "lare from headlamps behind you.
down and keep more space between
you and
other vehicles.
0 Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only
so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you're tired. pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
Night Vision
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase.
A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to
see the
same thing
at night as a 20-year-old.
What you do
in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example,
if you spend the day in bright
sunshine
you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will
have
less trouble adjusting to night. But if you're
driving,
don't wear sunglasses at night. They may cut
down on glare from headlamps, but they also make a lot
of things invisible.
