Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
ž
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with OnStaržsystem controls. For more
information about OnStarž, seeOnStaržSystem on
page 2-42.
When the automatic dimming feature is turned on, the
mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the mirror senses
when it is becoming dark outside. Another photocell
built into the mirror face senses when headlamps
are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too bright, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare. This change may take
a few seconds. The mirror will return to its clear,
daytime state when the glare is reduced.
Mirror Operation
O
(On/Off):This is the on/off button, located on the
lower left side of the mirror face.
To turn the automatic dimming feature on or off, press
the on/off button. The indicator light will be illuminated
when the automatic dimming feature is on.
Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause
the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
žand Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with a compass display. The mirror also
contains OnStar
žcontrols. For more information seeOnStaržSystem on page 2-42.
The automatic dimming feature functions the same as
that of the automatic dimming rearview mirror without a
compass. See
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStaržon page 2-37.
The mirror also includes an eight-point compass display
in the upper right corner of the mirror face. When on,
the compass automatically calibrates as the vehicle
is driven.
Mirror Operation
O
(On/Off):The on/off button is located on the lower
left side of the mirror face for the automatic dimming and
compass functions of the rearview mirror.
To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press and
hold the on/off button for about three seconds. To turn
off automatic dimming, press and hold the on/off
button for about three seconds again. The indicator light
will illuminate when this feature is active. The automatic
dimming feature is active each time the vehicle is
started.
Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass
on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the
compass will show two character boxes for about
two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display
the compass heading.
Compass Calibration
If after two seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading (for example, N for North), there may
be a strong magnetic ®eld interfering with the compass.
Such interference may be caused by a magnetic
antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar
magnetic item. If the letter C should ever appear in
the compass window, the compass may need
calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a
direction.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode
manually by pressing and holding the on/off button until
a C is shown in the compass display.

Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause
the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Outside Power Mirrors
The control on the driver's
door armrest operates both
outside rearview mirrors.
Press (R) on the selector switch to choose the right
mirror or (L) to choose the left mirror. The center position
is off and will not allow the mirrors to move if the
control pad is touched.To adjust a mirror, press the arrows on the control pad
to move the mirror in the direction you want the
mirror to go. Adjust each mirror so you can see the side
of your vehicle and the area behind your vehicle.
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 can also be programmed for personalization
and parallel parking feature if you have the optional
memory package. For more information, see
Memory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-51andDIC
Vehicle Personalization on page 3-64.

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 2-37.
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 3-64for 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 3-28for more information.

Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver's
door panel.
These buttons are used to program and recall memory
settings for the driver's seating and outside rearview
mirror positions.Use the following steps to program each button:
1. Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback
recliner, lumbar, head restraint and shoulder belt
height adjustments), both outside mirrors and
the steering wheel to a comfortable position.
2. Press the MEMORY SET button.
3. Within ®ve seconds, press button 1 for Driver 1.
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. 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,
1 and 2, correspond to the numbers on the buttons
on the door panel.

INT (Delay):Move the lever up to the INT position,
then turn the INT ADJ band, which is located on
the lever, to adjust the delay time. The higher you turn
the INT ADJ band, the more frequently the wipers
will operate.
OFF:Lower the lever to its resting position (OFF) to
turn off the wipers.
MIST:Pull the lever down once and release it for a
single wipe cycle. For more cycles, hold the lever down
in the MIST position longer.
To wash the windshield, press the button located at the
tip of the lever.
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 3-16for more
information.
RainsenseŸ II Wipers
Your vehicle may be equipped with RainsenseŸ II
wipers. The moisture sensor for this feature is mounted
on the interior side of the windshield below the
rearview mirror and 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.
The RainsenseŸ system can be activated by moving
the wiper stalk up to the INT position and turning the INT
ADJ band to one of the ®ve sensitivity levels. The
bottom INT ADJ position is the lowest sensitivity setting,
level one. This allows more rain or snow to collect on
the windshield between wipes. Turning the INT ADJ
band away from you to the higher sensitivity levels
allows less rain or snow to collect on the windshield
between wipes.

Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist can help you to
determine how close an object is to your rear bumper
within a given area, making parking easier.
{CAUTION:
Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist
system, the driver must check carefully before
backing up. The system does not operate
above typical backing speeds of 3 mph
(5 km/h) while parking. And, the system
doesn't detect objects that are more than
5 feet (1.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
So, unless you check carefully behind you
before and when you back up, you could strike
children, pedestrians, bicyclists or pets behind
you, and they could be injured or killed.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Whether or not you are using Rear Park Assist,
always check carefully behind your vehicle
before you back up and then watch closely as
you do.
The URPA display is
located inside the vehicle,
above the rear window.
It has three color-coded
lights that can be seen
through the rearview mirror
or by turning around.
