2-46 Battery Saver
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case you accidentally leave an
interior or trunk lamp on. If you leave any of these
lamps on while the ignition is in ACC or OFF, they
will automatically turn off after 20 minutes. The lamps
won't come back on until you do one of the following:

Turn the ignition to ON,

turn the interior lamp thumbwheel all the way up or

open (or close and reopen) a door that is closed.
If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the
odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps
after only three minutes.
Mirrors
Adjust all mirrors so you can see clearly when you are
sitting in a comfortable position.
Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from lamps behind you, push the lever
located on the bottom center of the mirror away from
you to the night position. To return the mirror back to
the day position, pull the lever toward you.
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass and Map Lamps (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an automatic electrochromic
day/night rearview mirror with a compass and
map lamps.
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A time delay feature prevents
rapid changing from the day to night positions while
driving under lights and through traffic.

2-47
The mirror includes two map lamps, an automatic
dimming function and an eight
-point compass display in
the upper corner of the mirror face. When the compass
display is turned on, the compass automatically calibrates
as the vehicle is driven.
The automatic dimming feature is turned on or off
by pressing the IO button located on the lower part
of the mirror. Press and hold the IO button for up
to three seconds to turn this feature on or off.The compass display feature is turned on or off by
pressing the IO button for three seconds or more.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror housing.
The compass may need to be calibrated. See ªCompass
Calibrationº in the Index.
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass Display and OnStar

(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an automatic electrochromic
day/night rearview mirror with a compass display and
the OnStar system.
When turned on, this mirror functions exactly like
the electrochromic mirror described previously. See
ªMirrors, Electrochromic Rearview with Compassº
in the Index for more information.

2-48
The mirror has an eight-point compass display in the
upper right corner of the mirror face and a three
-button
OnStar system. There are also two map lamps located on
the bottom of the mirror. Each lamp is turned on or off
with a switch located next to the lamp.
The automatic dimming feature is turned on or off by
pressing the far left button, located on the lower part of
the mirror face, for up to three seconds. If the button is
pressed and held for five to seven seconds, the compass
display will go blank.
There are three buttons for the OnStar system. See your
dealer for more information on the system and how to
subscribe to OnStar. See ªOnStar

Systemº in the Index
for more information on the services OnStar provides.Compass Calibration
Press the on/off button for eight seconds to activate
the compass calibration mode. The letter ªCº will be
displayed in the compass window of the mirror.
The mirror can be calibrated in one of two ways:

Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less
until the display indicates a direction, or

drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.
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, such 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.

2-49
To adjust for compass variance do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.2. Make sure the compass is in calibration mode.
See ªCompass Calibrationº in the Index.
Press the on/off button to display the zone number.
3. Scroll through the zone numbers that appear in
the compass window of the mirror. Once you find
your zone number in the window, release the on/off
button. After about four seconds, the mirror will
return to the compass display, and the new zone
number will be set. (Compass calibration may be
necessary. See ªCompass Calibrationº in the Index).

2-50 Power Outside Mirrors
The power mirror controls
are located near the driver's
window, on the armrest.
Slide the top switch to the left to adjust the driver's side
mirror, or slide it to the right to adjust the passenger's side
mirror. Then press the arrows on the lower control in the
direction you want to move the mirror. Once the mirror is
adjusted, move the top switch to the middle position.
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.

Glove Box
Use the key to lock and unlock the glove box.
Center Console
To open the storage area located between the driver's
and passenger's seat, press back on the front edge
and lift the cover. The console has a cassette tape
and compact disc storage area and a coinholder.

Push down on the door and the cupholder will
come out.

2-52
Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
When your vehicle is delivered, the cigarette lighter
assembly will be in a plastic bag placed in the center

request from your dealer. If the ashtray and lighter are
needed, insert the ashtray and holder into the stationary,
open cupholder in front of the shift lever.
The lighter outlet is located behind a flip
-out door below
the heating and air conditioning controls.

You can also swing them from front to side. The visors
have extenders that you can pull out for added coverage.

vehicle has the optional lighted vanity mirrors, the
lamps will come on when you open the cover.
Accessory Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets are located on the
passenger's lower left side and below the comfort
controls on the instrument panel.
The power outlets can be used to plug in electrical
equipment such as a cellular telephone, a compact disc
player, etc. Follow the proper installation instructions
included with any electrical equipment you install.
