2005 GMC ENVOY XUV window

To adjust for compass variance do the following:
1. Find the current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number appears in the display.
3. Once a zone number appears in the display, press
the on/off button quickly until the correct zone
number appears in the display. If C appears in
the compass window, the compass may need
calibration. See “Compass Calibration” explained
previously.Manual Rearview Mirror with
Compass and Temperature
The vehicle may have a manual rearview mirror with an
eight-point compass and temperature display located
in the upper right.
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.
Mirror Operation
While sitting in a comfortable position, adjust the
rearview mirror so you can see clearly behind your
vehicle. Grip it in the center and move it up or down and
side to side. The day/night control, located at the
bottom of the mirror, adjusts the mirror to reduce
headlamp glare from behind during evening or dark
conditions. Push the control for daytime use; pull it for
night use.
Temperature and Compass Display
O
(On/Off):Press this button to turn the compass and
temperature display on or off. The compass display,
can show a maximum of two characters. For example,
NE is displayed for north-east.
2-46

When the ignition and the compass/temperature
feature are on, character boxes will appear for about
two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display
the direction the vehicle is facing and the outside
temperature.
To set the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius,
do the following:
1. Press and hold the on/off button until either a
ashing F or C appears.
2. Press the button again to change the display to
the desired unit of measurement. After about
four seconds of inactivity, the new unit will be locked
in and the compass/temperature display will return.
Compass Calibration
When on, the compass automatically calibrates as the
vehicle is driven. If, after two seconds, the display
does not show a compass direction, (N for North,
for example), 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.Press and hold the on/off button for nine seconds to
activate the compass calibration mode. CAL will
be displayed in the compass window on the mirror.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display shows
a direction.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. The mirror
is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory. It will
be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain conditions, such as during a long-distance,
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. If not adjusted to account for
compass variance, the compass could give false
readings.

To adjust for compass variance do the following:
1. Find the current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number appears in the display.

OnStar
®, Compass, and
Temperature Display
The vehicle may have a manual rearview mirror with
OnStar®and an eight-point compass and temperature
display located in the upper right.
Control buttons for the OnStar
®system are at the
bottom of the mirror. See your GM dealer for more
information about the OnStar
®system. Also, see
OnStar®System on page 2-52for more information
about the services OnStar®provides.
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.

If the vehicle has the manual outside mirrors, adjust
each outside mirror so that a little of the vehicle and the
area behind it can be seen while sitting in a comfortable,
driving position.
Both mirrors can be manually folded inward by pulling
them towards the vehicle. Push the mirrors away
from the vehicle, to the normal position, before driving.
Outside Power Mirrors
The vehicle may have this feature.
The control is located on
the driver’s door.
Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise to
adjust the driver’s or passenger’s mirror so that
you can see a little of the side of your vehicle.
2-50

After adjusting the position of the mirrors, turn the
knob to the center position so that the mirrors
cannot move.
If the travel position in any direction of the mirror is
reached, it will enter a ratcheting mode. This action is
harmless. It is a warning that the mirror can go no
further. To stop this action, back the mirror up by moving
the knob in the opposite direction.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If the vehicle has this feature, the passenger’s outside
mirror will adjust to a preset tilt position while the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R) gear. Curb view assist may be
useful when you are parallel parking. The mirror
will return to normal position when the vehicle is shifted
out of REVERSE (R) gear. Automatic mirror movement
in either direction will follow a short delay.
You may be able to turn this feature on or off through
the Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-57.
Outside Convex Mirror
{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 or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger’s outside mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver’s seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
If the vehicle has this feature, when the rear window
defogger is turned on, the outside driver’s and
passenger’s rearview mirrors also heat to help clear
them of ice, snow, and condensation. SeeDual Climate
Control System on page 3-20orDual Automatic
Climate Control System on page 3-23for more
information.

Cargo Tie Downs
There are four moveable
cargo tie downs that
can be moved up to
12 different locations in
the rear of your vehicle.
They are located on the sides of the vehicle between
the window and the oor.
The tie-downs may be moved from their original
positions by using a 10 mm socket wrench. These allow
you to restrain cargo from sliding around during
normal driving. The other cargo tie-down positions that
are not being used are covered by plastic plugs.
Unscrew these plugs by hand and then reinstall them
into the vacant holes.
There are also four cargo tie-downs located outside
the vehicle in the top of the metal rails that carry the
moveable roof. These allow you to carry tall objects in
the cargo area.
Sunroof
The vehicle may be equipped with a power sliding
sunroof. To open or close the sunroof, the ignition must
be on or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) must be
active. SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 2-25.
Press and release the
back of the control in the
overhead console to
open the sunroof. Press
the front of the control
to close the sunroof.
Once the sunroof is closed, press the forward side of
the control to open the sunroof to the vent position.
The sunroof has a sunshade which can be pulled
forward to block sun rays. If it is in the closed position,
it will open when the sunroof is opened.
