At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or
if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
e
e
e
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps
to the
left or right, hold the transmitter higher, and
try again.
Check
to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page
2-5.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
You can lock and unlock your doors from about 3 feet
(1 m) up to 100 feet (30 m) away using the remote
keyless entry transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
a (Unlock): Pressing this
button once will unlock the
driver’s door. The interior
lamps will come on.
Pressing unlock again
within three seconds will
cause the remaining doors
to unlock.
You can choose different feedback options for each
press of the unlock button, such as having the vehicle’s
perimeter lamps come on and/or having the horn
chirp. See
DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-43 for
more information.
2-5
8 (Lock): Pressing this button once will lock all of the
doors. Pressing the button again within three seconds
may cause the horn
to chirp for lock confirmation.
You can choose different feedback options for each
press of the lock button, such as having the vehicle’s
perimeter lamps flash and/or having the horn chirp. See
DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-43 for more
information.
& (Panic): When this button is pressed, the horn will
sound and the headlamps and taillamps will flash for
up
to 30 seconds. This can be turned off by pressing the
button again, or by waiting for
30 seconds, or by
starting the vehicle.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is
lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember
to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go
to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter
to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the
lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched
to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak
if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time
to change the battery.
Notice: When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Onstar@, Compass
and
Temperature Display
Your vehicle may have this feature. When on, an
electrochromic mirror automatically dims to the proper
level to minimize glare from lights behind you after dark.
The mirror also includes a duel display in the upper
right corner of the mirror face. The compass reading and
the outside temperature will both appear in the display
at the same time.
Temperature and Compass Display
Press the on/off button, located to the far left, briefly to
turn the comp/temp display on or
off.
If the display reads CAL, you will need to calibrate the
compass. For more information on calibration, see
below.
To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius do the
following:
1.
2. Press and hold the
on/off button for approximately
four seconds until either a flashing OF, or "C
appears.
Press the button again to change the display to the
desired unit
of measurement. After approximately
four seconds of inactivity, the new unit will be locked
in and the compass/temperature display will
return.
6 (On/Off): This is the on/off button.
2-31
Electrochromic Mirror Operation
The electrochromic (self dimming) mirror function is
turned on automatically each time the ignition is started.
To operate the electrochromic mirror do the following:
1.
2.
Make sure the green indicator light, located to
the left of the on/off button, is lit. If it’s not, press
and hold the on/off button for approximately
six seconds until the green light comes on,
indicating that the mirror is in electrochromic
(self dimming) mode.
Turn off the electrochromic mirror function by
pressing and holding the on/off button for
approximately six seconds until the green indicator
light turns off.
Compass Variance
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 of
zone eight. Under certain circumstances, as during a
long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary
to
adjust for 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.
l-0 adjust for compass variance do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a Z and a
zone number appears in the display. The compass
is now in zone mode.
2-32
3. Keep pressing the on/off button until the desired
zone number appears in the display. Release the
button. After approximately four seconds of
inactivity, the new zone number will be locked in
and the comphemp display will return.
4. Calibrate the compass as described below.
Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
After approximately five seconds, the display does
not show a compass heading
(N for North, for
example), there may be a strong magnetic field
interfering with the compass. Such interference may
be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic
note pad holder or a similar magnetic item.
The compass does not display the correct heading
and the compass zone variance is set correctly. In
order
to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the
mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed, push
the on/off button for approximately
12 seconds or
until CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by drivingthe vehicle in
circles at
5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display
reads a direction.
Passenger Air Bag Indicator
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger air bag
indicator, on the mirror glass, just above the buttons.
If your vehicle has this feature, the mirror will display the
word
ON, or an air bag symbol in Canada, when the
passenger air bag is enabled. For more information, see
Passenger Sensing System on page
1-8 1.
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.
2-33
Outside Heated Mirrors
You vehicle may have this feature.
When you press this
button, a defogger warms
the heated driver’s and passenger’s outside rearview mirrors
to help
clear them of ice, snow and
condensation.
Your vehicle’s rear window defogger will also operate
when you press this button. See “Rear Window
Defogger” under Electronic Climate Control System on
page
3-79 for more information.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
with Curb View Assist
The driver’s outside mirror will adjust for the glare of the
headlamps behind you. See Automatic Dimming
Rearview Mirror with OnStap, Compass and
Temperature Display on page
2-31 earlier in this
section.
Your vehicle’s mirrors will also be capable of performing
the curb view assist mirror function. This feature will
cause the passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror
to tilt to a
preselected 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
short delay has occurred, the passenger’s and/or
driver’s mirror will return
to its original position.
To change the preselected tilt position, adjust the
mirrors
to the desired position while the vehicle is in
REVERSE
(R). When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE
(R), this new position is saved in memory as
the tilt position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
lnformation Center. See Driver lnformation Center
@IC) on page
3-43 for more information.
