2001 CADILLAC DEVILLE mirror

2-58
This is the on/off button, located on the lower left
side of the mirror for the electrochromic and compass
functions of the rearview mirror.
The mirror also includes an eight
-point compass
display in the upper right corner of the mirror face.
When on, the compass automatically calibrates as the
vehicle is driven.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Mirror Operation
To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press
and hold the on/off button for about three seconds.
To turn off automatic dimming, press and hold the
on/off button for about three seconds again. The green
indicator light will be illuminated when this feature is
active. The automatic dimming feature will be active
each time the vehicle is started.Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass on
or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on,
the compass will show two character boxes for
approximately two seconds. After two seconds,
the mirror will display the compass heading.
Compass Calibration
If after two seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading (ªNº for North, for example),
there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with
the compass. Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or
a similar magnetic item. If the letter ªCº should ever
appear in the compass window, the compass may
need calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads
a direction.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode by
pressing and holding the on/off button until a ªCº is
shown in the compass display.

Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance
cross
-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. Compass variance is the difference
between earth's magnetic north and true geographic
north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance,
your compass could give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone number
appears in the display.
3. Once the zone number appears in the display, press
the on/off button quickly until the correct zone
number appears in the display. Stop pressing the
button and the mirror will return to normal
operation. If ªCº appears in the compass window,
the compass may need calibration. See ªCompass
Calibrationº explained previously.

Power Remote Control Mirror (Heated)
The control on the driver's
door armrest operates both
outside rearview mirrors.
Press (R) on the control
switch to choose the right
mirror or (L) to choose the
left mirror. The center
switch position is off and
will not move the mirrors if
the control pad is touched.
To adjust the mirror, push the arrows on the control pad
in the direction you want the mirror to go. Adjust each
mirror so you can see the side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle.
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog
or ice. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index for
more information.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
if you have the optional memory package. For more
information, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in
the Index.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
The driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by
the on and off settings on the electrochromic mirror.
See ªElectrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror with
Compassº in the Index.
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors,
it will also be capable of performing the curb view assist
mirror feature. This feature will cause the passenger's
mirror to tilt to a preselected position when the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful
in allowing you to view the curb when you are
parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five
-second delay has occurred, the passenger's mirror
will return to its original position.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror switch may be used.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
Driver Information Center. See ªVehicle Programming
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index for
more information.

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.
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.
