2-48 Battery Saver
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case you accidentally leave an
interior or trunk lamp on. If you leave any of these
lamps on while the ignition is in ACCESSORY or
OFF, they will automatically turn off after 20 minutes.
The lamps won't come back on until you do one of
the following:
Turn the ignition to ON,
turn the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel all
the way up or
open or close and reopen a door that is closed.
If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the
odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after
only three minutes.
Mirrors
Adjust all mirrors so you can see clearly when you are
sitting in a comfortable position.
Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from any lights or headlamps behind
you, push the lever located on the bottom center of the
mirror away from you to the night position. To return
the mirror back to the day position, pull the lever
toward you.
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.
2-50
(Maplamp): Press one of the buttons with this
symbol on it to turn on either the driver's or passenger's
maplamp. Press each button again to turn it off.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
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.
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.

Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Don't drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
Since you can't see as well, you may need to
slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you're tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase. A 50
-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to see the
same thing at night as a 20
-year-old.
What you do in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes
will have less trouble adjusting to night. But if you're
driving, don't wear sunglasses at night.They may cut down on glare from headlamps, but they
also make a lot of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several
seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you
are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who
doesn't lower the high beams, or a vehicle with
misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring
directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle
clean
-- inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside of the glass
can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your
eyes moving; that way, it's easier to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim, so should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren't even aware of it.

Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as ªhighway
hypnosisº? Or is it just plain falling asleep at
the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness,
or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch of road with
the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on
the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the
wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.
Don't let it happen to you! If it does, your vehicle
can leave the road in less than a second, and you
could crash and be injured.What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be
aware that it can happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a
comfortably cool interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to
the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service
or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.
