Mirrors
Electrochromic Inside Rearview Mirror
with Compass, Temperature Display and
OnStar Controls
When on, an electrochromic mirror automatically dims
to the proper level to minimize glare from lights behind
you after dark.
The mirror also includes a dual display in the upper
right corner of the mirror face. The compass reading and
the outside temperature will both appear in the display at
the same time.Temperature and Compass Display
Press the on/off button, located to the far left, briefly to
turn the comp/temp display on or off.
If the display reads CAL, you will need to calibrate
the compass. For more information on calibration,
see below.
To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius
do the following:
1. Press and hold the on/off button for four seconds
until either a flashing F, or C appears.
2. Press the button again to change the display to the
desired unit of measurement. After approximately
four seconds of inactivity, the new unit will be
locked in and the compass/temperature display
will return.

2-48 Power Outside Rearview Mirrors
The controls are located on the driver's door armrest.
Move the upper selector switch to the left or right to
choose the mirror you want to adjust; then use the
arrows located on the four
-way control pad to adjust
the mirror.
The mirrors include ground illumination lamps (puddle
lamps) in the base of the mirror. For more information
on these lamps, see ªPuddle Lampsº in the Index.
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.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirrors
The outside rearview mirrors have a defrost mode.
To turn on the defrost feature, press the rear window
defogger button. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the
Index for further information.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
The driver's outside mirror will adjust for the glare of any
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by the
on and off settings on the electrochromic mirror. See
ªElectrochromic Mirror Operationº earlier in this section.
