Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1

Outside Power Mirrors
If your vehicle is equipped
with outside power mirrors,
the controls are located
on the driver's door
armrest.
Move the selector switch located above the control pad
to the left or right to choose the mirror you want to
adjust, then press the dots located on the four-way
control pad to adjust the mirror.
The mirrors include ground illumination lamps (puddle
lamps) in the base of the mirror. For more information on
these lamps, see
Puddle LampsunderExterior Lamps
on page 3-12.
The mirrors also include a memory function which works
in conjunction with the memory seats. See ªMemory
Seatsº in the Index for more information.
Outside Power Foldaway Mirrors
If your vehicle is equipped
with this feature, the
controls are located on the
driver's door armrest.
Move the upper selector switch to the left or right to
choose the mirror you want to adjust; then press
the dots located on the four-way control pad to adjust
the mirror.
The mirrors may also include a memory function which
works in conjunction with the memory seats. See
ªMemory Seatsº under
Memory Seat on page 2-45for
more information.
To fold or unfold the mirrors, move the selector switch,
located about the mirror control, to the middle
position. The mirror control will illuminate.
2-34

Press the right or left side of the mirror control to fold or
unfold the mirrors. You may notice the mirror glass
adjust as the mirrors fold in; this is normal. The mirror
glass will reposition itself once the mirrors are unfolded.
If the mirrors are accidentally folded/unfolded manually,
they may shake or ¯utter at normal driving speeds
and may not stay in the unfolded position. If this
happens, you will need to reset the mirrors. See
ªResetting the Power Foldaway Mirrorsº next.
Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors
You will need to reset the power foldaway mirrors if the
following occurs:
·They are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
·The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded position.
·The mirrors shake and ¯utter at normal driving
speeds.
To reset the power foldaway mirrors, fold and unfold
then at least three times using the mirror controls. This
will reset them to their normal detent position.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
The driver's outside mirror will adjust for the glare of any
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by
the on and off settings on the electrochromic mirror.See ªElectrochromic Mirror Operationº under
Automatic
Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStarž, Compass
and Temperature Display on page 2-31.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirrors
If your vehicle has the optional memory package
you may have this feature.
The vehicle's mirrors are 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.
You may be able to enable/disable this feature through
the Driver Information Center. See
Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-46.
2-35

Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat
If your vehicle has this
feature, then the controls
for the memory function
are located on the
driver's door.
These buttons are used to program and recall memory
settings for the driver's seat, both the driver's and
passenger's outside mirror, and the radio station
presets. The settings for these features can be
personalized for both driver 1 and driver 2. Driver 1 or
driver 2 corresponds to the memory buttons labeled
1 and 2 on the driver's door.
To store your memory seat, mirrors and radio presets,
do the following:1. Adjust the driver's seat, including the seatback
recliner, lumbar, and side wing area, both of the
outside mirrors, and the radio station presets to your
preference.
2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 button of the memory
control for three seconds, to correspond to driver
1 or 2. A double chime will sound to let you
know that the position has been stored.
To repeat the procedure for a second driver, follow the
preceding steps, but press the other numbered
memory control button.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), a single chime will sound and
the memory position will be recalled.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver's
seat, mirror positions and the radio station presets will
be recalled if programmed to do so through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See
Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-46. The numbers on the
back of the transmitters, 1 or 2, correspond to the
numbers on the memory controls.
The seat and mirror positions can also be recalled when
placing the key in the ignition if programmed to do so
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory seat feature at
any time, press one of the memory buttons or power
seat controls.
