2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE mirror

The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent
damage when going through an automatic car wash.
To fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle. To return the
mirror to its original position, push outward. Be sure
to return both mirrors to their original unfolded positions
before driving.
The mirrors also have an arrow on the mirror face that
¯ashes in the direction of the turn when the turn
signal is used. See
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever on
page 3-8.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
and the parallel parking feature if you have the
optional memory package. For more information, see
Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-55andDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-67.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the
driver's side mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps
behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and
off settings on the automatic dimming rearview mirror.
See
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStarž
on page 2-40.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will
also be capable of performing the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will cause the passenger's mirror
to tilt to a factory programmed position when the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in
allowing you to view the curb when you are parallel
parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
®ve-second delay has occurred, the passenger's
mirror will return to its original position.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror switch may be used.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-67for more information.

Outside Convex 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. This mirror does not have a dimming
feature.
{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.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog or
ice. See
Dual Climate Control System on page 3-29for more information.

Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel
Your vehicle may be
equipped with the memory
package. The controls
for these features
are located on the driver's
door panel, and are
used to program and recall
memory settings for the
driver's seating positions.
Use the following steps to program each button:
1. Adjust the driver's seat including the seatback
recliner, lumbar and head restraint, both outside
mirrors and the steering wheel to a comfortable
position.
2. Press the SET button.
3. Within ®ve seconds, press button 1. After a brief
delay, a single beep will sound through the driver's
side front speaker to let you know that the
position has been stored.A second mirror, seating and steering wheel position
can be programmed by repeating the above steps and
pressing button 2 (for driver 2). Each time a memory
button is pressed, a single beep will sound. Each time
button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while the
vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory positions will be
recalled after a brief delay. If the vehicle is not in PARK
(P), the memory buttons must be pressed and held
to recall the stored positions.
If you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to enter
your vehicle, automatic seat and mirror movement
will occur. The numbers on the back of the transmitters,

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn is
complete.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster and in the
outside rearview mirror will
¯ash in the direction of
the turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ¯ash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is
complete. The lever returns when it's released.
If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound and
the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display TURN
SIGNAL ON after driving about a mile to remind you to
turn it off.
Arrows that ¯ash rapidly when signaling for a turn or lane
change may be caused by a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won't see the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs if the
arrow fails to work when signaling a turn. See
Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 5-94.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Push forward to change the headlamps from low beam
to high. Pull the lever back and then release it to
change from high beam to low.
This light on the instrument
panel cluster will be on,
indicating high-beam
usage.
Flash-To-Pass
This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to
signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass.
Pull and hold the turn signal lever toward you
to use. When you do, the following will occur:
·If the headlamps are either off or in the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) mode, the high-beam
headlamps will turn on. They'll stay on as long as
you hold the lever there. Release the lever to
turn them off.
·If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch
to low beam. To return to high beam, push the

Windshield Wipers
WIPER:Turn the band on the turn signal lever to
control the wipers.
MIST:Turn the band toward you to MIST and then
release it for a single wiping cycle. For more cycles, hold
the band on MIST longer.
LO or HI:Turn the band away from you to either LO
(low speed) or to HI (high speed), depending on
the wiper speed you want.
Delay:Turn the band to one of the delay positions to
set the wiper speed for a long or a short delay between
wipes. The closer you move it to LO, the shorter the
delay.OFF:Turn the band to OFF to turn off the wipers.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Your vehicle is equipped with wiper-activated headlamps.
After the windshield wipers have been on for
approximately six seconds, the headlamps will
automatically turn on. See
Wiper Activated HeadlampsunderExterior Lamps on page 3-15for more information.
RainsenseŸ II Wipers
If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is
mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror. It is used to automatically operate the
wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on
the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the
windshield depending on driving conditions and the
sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will
occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more
frequently. The RainsenseŸ wipers operate in a delay
mode as well as a continuous low or high speed as
needed. If the system is left on for long periods of time,
occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on the
windshield. This is normal and indicates that the
RainsenseŸ system is activated.

Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle's battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage
door opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power
to these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
(24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Night Vision System
The optional Night Vision System can help you see
better when you drive at night. The system works
by sensing heat given off by objects in its ®eld of view.
Warmer objects, such as pedestrians, animals and
other moving vehicles, will appear whiter. Colder objects,
such as the sky, signs and parked vehicles, will
appear darker.Use this system as an aid to help you in seeing objects
beyond the headlamps. Do this by occasionally
glancing at the image as you would a rearview mirror.
Do not stare at the image.
The Night Vision System can be operated if:
·the instrument panel brightness knob is in any
position except OFF
·it is dark enough outside
·the headlamps or fog lamps (if equipped) are on
and
·the ignition is turned to ON.
