2-49 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. The mirror automatically changes to reduce glare
from any headlamps behind you. A time delay feature
also prevents rapid changing from the day to the night
position while driving under lights and through traffic.
The mirror has an eight-point compass display located
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 button to turn the compass/automatic dimming on
or off is located on the bottom of the rearview mirror It
has IO on it. Map lamp buttons are located on either side
of the compass automatic dimming button.
IO (Compass/Automatic Dimming): The compass
display feature is turned on or off by pressing the IO
button for more than three seconds. Automatic dimming
is turned on and off by pressing the IO button for less
than three seconds.

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.
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 button located next to the lamp.

Compass Calibration
Press the on/off button for eight seconds to activate
the compass calibration mode. The letter C will be
displayed in the compass window on 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 until C is no
longer displayed in the compass window.
Drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.
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. 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.
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.

The power mirror controls
are located near the driver's
window, on the armrest.
Move the selector switch to the left to adjust the driver's

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.
