Sun Visors
Swing down the primary visor to block out glare. It can
also be detached from the center mount and moved
to the side while the auxiliary sunshade remains to block
the glare from the front. The visors also have
side-to-side slide capability.
The driver’s sunshade is also equipped with a
storage ap.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror

The light will come on when the cover is opened. It
will go out when you close the cover. If your vehicle has
the adjustable lighting feature, slide the switch up or
down to brighten or dim the light.
Lighted Rear Vanity Mirror
Your vehicle may have lighted visor vanity mirrors for
the rear seat passengers. Pull the vanity cover down to

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with OnStar®system controls. For more
information about OnStar®, seeOnStar®System on
page 2-43.
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):Press the on/off button, located on the
lower left side of the mirror face, to turn the automatic
dimming feature on or off. 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
®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with a compass display. The mirror also
contains OnStar
®controls. For more information see
OnStar®System on page 2-43.
The automatic dimming feature functions the same as
that of the automatic dimming rearview mirror without a
compass. SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®on page 2-39.
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.
2-39

3. Once the zone number appears in the display,
press the on/off button quickly until the correct
zone number appears in the display. Stop pressing
the button and the mirror will return to normal
operation. If C appears in the compass window, the
compass may need calibration. SeeCompass
Calibrationlisted previously.
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.
2-41

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. SeeTurn Signal/Multifunction Lever on
page 3-9.
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 2-55
andDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-74.
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.
SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar
®
on page 2-39.
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 allow the passenger’s side
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
side 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). SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-74for more information.

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.

signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane
change is complete. The lever returns when it is
released.

and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a mile to remind
you to turn it off.

Rainsense™ 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 Rainsense™ 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 Rainsense™ system is activated.
The Rainsense™ system can be activated by turning
the wiper band to one of the ve sensitivity levels
indicated on the wiper stalk. The position closest to OFF
is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows
more rain or snow to collect on the windshield between
wipes. Turning the wiper band away from you to
higher sensitivity levels increases the sensitivity of the
system and frequency of wipes. The highest sensitivity
setting, level ve is closest to LO. A single wipe will
occur each time you turn the wiper stalk to a higher
sensitivity level to indicate that the sensitivity level has
been increased.Notice:Going through an automatic car wash with
the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers
off when going through an automatic car wash.
The MIST and wash cycles operate as normal and are
not affected by the Rainsense™ function. The
Rainsense™ system can be overridden at any time by
manually turning the wiper band to LO or HI speed.
When Rainsense™ is active, the headlamps will turn on
automatically. The headlamps will turn off again once
the wipers turn off if it is light enough outside. If it
is dark, they will remain on. See “ Wiper-Activated
Headlamps” underExterior Lamps on page 3-17
for more information.
Notice:Do not place stickers or other items on the
exterior glass surface directly in front of the
moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the
moisture sensor to malfunction.
