Remote Panic Alarm
When the button with the horn symbol on the keyless
entry transmitter is pressed, the horn will sound and the
headlamps and taillamps will flash for up to 30 seconds.
This can be turned off by pressing the horn button again,
waiting for 30 seconds, or starting the vehicle.
OnStar

Alarm Auto-Notification (If Equipped)
OnStar may dial in to the OnStar center to report an
alarm activation if the alarm is sounded for more than
five seconds.
Recalling Seat and Mirror Memory Settings
You can recall seat and mirror positions using your
keyless entry transmitter. See ªMemory Seat and
Memory Mirrorsº in the Index for more information.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.

2-43 Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open a door
and will slowly dim to off when all doors are closed.
You can also turn the dome lamps on by turning the
thumbwheel, located next to the headlamp and parking
lamp knob, all the way up. In this position, the dome
lamps will remain on whether a door is opened
or closed.
You can use the DOME OVERRIDE button, located
below the headlamp/parking lamp knob, to set the dome
lamps to come on automatically when a door is opened,
or remain off. To turn the lamps off, press the button
into the ªinº 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 ªoutº position.
With the button in this position, the dome lamps will
come on when you open a door.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome, 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.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Inside Rearview Mirror
with Compass and Temperature Display
When on, an electrochromic mirror automatically dims
to the proper level to minimize glare from lights behind
you after dark.

2-44

and the temperature in the upper right corner of the
mirror face. The dual display can be turned on or off by
briefly pressing either the TEMP or the COMP button.Temperature Display
Pressing the TEMP button once briefly will toggle the
compass/temperature reading on and off. To alternate
the temperature reading between Fahrenheit and Celsius,
press and hold the TEMP button for three seconds until

TEMP button to toggle between the Fahrenheit and
Celsius readings. After five seconds of inactivity, the
display will stop flashing and stay at the last setting.
If an abnormal reading is displayed, please consult
your dealer.
Electrochromic Mirror Operation
The right button, labeled TEMP and located at the
bottom of the mirror, turns the electrochromic mirror
on and off. An indicator light, located to the right of the
TEMP button, will come on when the electrochromic
mirror is turned on. To turn the mirror on, press and hold
the TEMP button for six seconds. To turn the mirror off,
press and hold the TEMP button for six seconds.
