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.

material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror housing.
If the compass needs to be recalibrated, 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.
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.
(On/Off/Automatic Dimming): This button is
located on the lower left side of the mirror face. It is
used to turn the automatic dimming and compass
features of the mirror on and off.
The automatic dimming feature is turned on or off by
pressing the on/off button 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 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.

2-52 Power Outside Rearview Mirrors
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
side mirror or to the right to adjust the passenger's side
mirror. Use one of the arrows located on the control pad
to move the mirror in the direction that you want it to
go. Once the mirror is adjusted, move the selector
switch to the middle position.
You can fold the mirrors in before entering a car wash.
Pull the mirrors inward toward the vehicle. Push them
back out when finished.
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.

on the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn't for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when
you're not using it. You can also push the net down and
secure it under the plastic hooks.
Ashtray and Cigarette Lighter
When your vehicle is delivered, the ashtray and cigarette
lighter will be in a plastic bag placed in the center
console storage area. If the ashtray and lighter are
needed, insert the ashtray and holder into the stationary
open cupholder in front of the shift lever.
The cigarette lighter outlet is located behind a flip
-out
door below the heating and air conditioning controls.

2-54 Sun Visors
To block out glare, swing down the sun visors. You can
also swing each visor from the front window to the side
window. The sun visors also have extenders located on
the inboard side that can be pulled out for added
anti
-glare protection.
Visor Vanity Mirror
When the sunvisors are in the down position, the visor
vanity mirror can be used by opening the cover. If the
vehicle has the optional lighted vanity mirrors, the
lamps will come on when the cover is opened.
Accessory Power Outlets

outlets. When not using the outlets, be sure the
protective cap is covering them.
The accessory power outlets will only operate while the
