1-4 Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver's
door armrest.
These buttons are used to program and recall memory
settings for the driver's seating and outside rearview mirror
positions. Use the following steps to program each button:
1. Adjust the driver's seat (including lumbar adjustments)
and both outside mirrors to a comfortable position.
2. Press the SET button.
3. Within five seconds, press button 1. A single beep
will sound through the driver's side front speaker to
let you know that the position has been stored.A second mirror and seating position may be
programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing
button 2 instead of button 1. Each time button 1 or 2 is
pressed and released while the vehicle is in PARK (P),
the memory position will be recalled. Each time a
memory button is pressed, a single beep will sound.
You can also recall a seat and mirror position if your
vehicle is not in PARK (P). Press and hold either
the 1 or 2 button until seat and mirror movement is
complete. Releasing the buttons will stop adjustment.
If you use the button with the unlock symbol on the
remote keyless entry transmitter to enter the vehicle, the
preset driver's seat and mirror positions will be recalled.
The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the driver's armrest.
If the remote keyless entry transmitter was not used to
enter the vehicle, the last used seat and mirror positions
will be recalled when a key is inserted in the ignition
and is turned to RUN. The vehicle must be previously
programmed to turn this feature on. See ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

ªexitº position and then press the SET button followed
by the EXIT button. While your vehicle is in PARK (P),
briefly press the EXIT button to recall your programmed
exit position.

Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or
if electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the body
and the trunk lid:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on AUTO and the temperature between
65F (18C) and 85F (29C). That will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock Release
The button for this feature
is located above the radio
on the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Press the TRUNK button to open the trunk.
You can also press the button with the trunk symbol
on the remote keyless entry transmitter to access the
trunk compartment.
When the trunk opens, a light will come on inside the
trunk so that you can see what's inside the trunk.
To use this feature, your vehicle must be in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N) and the VALET lockout button
must be off.

Light Sensor
The light sensor for the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
and the Twilight Sentinel is located in the center of the
front defogger grille. If you cover the sensor, it will read
ªdarkº and the lamps will come on.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the parking lamps have been left on, the exterior lamps
will turn off approximately 10 minutes after the ignition
is turned to LOCK or ACCESSORY. This protects
against draining the battery in case you have accidentally
left the headlamps or parking lamps on. If you need to
purposely leave the lamps on for more than 10 minutes
with the ignition in LOCK or ACCESSORY, turn the
exterior lamps off and then back on. To delay the lamps
from turning off, see ªTwilight Sentinelº in the Index.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This feature controls the brightness of the instrument
panel lights.
The knob for this feature is located to the left of the
steering wheel on the instrument panel. This knob is also
used to control the exterior lamps. See ªExterior Lampsº
listed previously in this section for more information.
Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights or
counterclockwise to dim them.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door controls and
to the exterior lamp knob when a door is opened or if
you press a remote keyless entry transmitter button.
Since the illuminated entry system has a photocell,
this means that it must be dark outside in order for the
courtesy lamps or backlighting to turn on. The courtesy
lamps turn off approximately 20 seconds after the last
door is closed or after the ignition is turned to RUN.

2-50 Power Remote Control Mirrors
The control on the driver's
door armrest operates both
outside rearview mirrors.
Press (R) on the selector switch to choose the right
mirror or (L) to choose the left mirror. The center
position is off and will not move the mirrors if the
control pad is touched.
To adjust the mirror, press 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.
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
Only 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 equipped with the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will cause the passenger's mirror
to tilt when the vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R).
This feature may be useful in allowing you to view the
curb when you are parallel parking. To turn this feature
on or off, follow the directions included later in this
section. See ªMemory and Personalization Featuresº
in the Index.
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. The mirror then returns to its original position.

2-55
Volume Control: You can control the volume of the
OnStar System using the steering wheel controls.
Telltale Light: This light will indicate the status of
the system. A solid green light will come on when you
start the vehicle to let you know that the system is on
and is ready to make or receive calls.
If the light blinks green it means that an incoming or
outgoing call is in progress. Press the Communication
button if you notice the light blinking and you are
not on a call.
The light will be red in the event of an OnStar system
malfunction. If this occurs press the OnStar Services
button to attempt to contact an advisor. If the connection
is made, the advisor will assist you with steps to take to
make sure that the system is functioning properly. If you
cannot contact the advisor, take your vehicle to your
dealership as soon as possible for assistance.
Cellular Antenna
The cellular antenna on the outside of your vehicle is
critical to effective communication using the OnStar
system. Optimum cellular reception can be obtained
when the mast is straight up and down.
OnStar Services
The following services are available within OnStar
service plans. Your vehicle comes with a specific
one
-year service plan that allows use of some or
all of the following services.
Automatic Notification of Air Bag Deployment:
If an air bag deploys, a priority emergency signal is
automatically sent to the center. An advisor will locate
your vehicle's position, try to contact you and assist
you in the situation. If the center is unable to contact
you, an emergency service provider will be contacted.
Stolen Vehicle Tracking: Call the center at
1
-888-4-ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827) to report
your vehicle stolen. The system can then attempt to
locate and track your vehicle and the advisor will assist
the proper authorities.
Roadside Assistance with Location: For vehicle
breakdowns, press the OnStar Services button.
An advisor will contact the appropriate help.
