{CAUTION:
All-wheel drive vehicles with the transfer case in
NEUTRAL will allow the vehicle to roll, even if
your shift lever is in PARK (P). So, be sure the
transfer case is in a drive gear — not in
NEUTRAL. Always set your parking brake.
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle will not
move. SeeShifting Into Park (P) on page 2-37.
If you are pulling a trailer, seeTowing a Trailer on
page 4-68.
Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®, Compass and
Temperature Display
For information on the OnStar®system seeOnStar®
System on page 2-48or consult the OnStar®manual.
The automatic dimming mirror dims to the proper level to
minimize glare from lights behind you after dark.The mirror includes a compass reading and outside
temperature display in the upper right corner of
the mirror. The dual display can be turned on or off by
pressing either the TEMP or the COMP button.
Temperature Display
The temperature can be displayed by pressing the
TEMP button. Press the TEMP button once briey to
toggle the temperature reading on and off. To alternate
the temperature reading between Fahrenheit and
Celsius, press and hold the TEMP button for
approximately four seconds until the display blinks F
and C. Press and release the TEMP button to toggle
between the Fahrenheit and Celsius readings. After
about four seconds of inactivity, the display will
stop blinking and display the last selection made.
If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed for an
extended period of time (30 minutes), see your GM
dealer. Under certain circumstances, a delay in updating
the temperature is normal.
Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
Press and hold the TEMP button for about eight seconds
to turn the automatic dimming feature on or off. The
indicator light to the right of the TEMP button will turn on
or off to show when the automatic dimming feature is
activated. Once the mirror is turned off, it will remain off
until it is turned back on, or until the vehicle is restarted.

Compass Operation
Press the COMP button briey 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
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
If CAL is displayed while driving in the vehicle.
After about ve seconds, the display does not show
a compass heading (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, a 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 COMP button for about eight seconds or until
CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at ve mph (8 km/h) or less until a direction is
displayed.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If not
adjusted to account for compass variance, the compass
could give false readings.
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 the vehicle is
outside zone eight. Under certain circumstances, as
during a long distance cross-country trip, it will be
necessary to adjust for compass variance.
2-42

To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map.
2. Press and hold the COMP button for ve seconds
until a zone number appears in the display.
3. Press the COMP button on the bottom of the mirror
until the new zone number appears in the display.
After you stop pressing the button, the display
will show a compass direction within a few seconds.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.

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
with Curb View Assist
If the vehicle has this feature, the driver’s outside mirror
adjusts for the glare of the headlamps behind you.
SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass
and Temperature Display on page 2-43.
The vehicle’s outside mirrors can also perform a curb
view assist mirror function. This causes 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 viewing the curb when 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
Information Center. SeeDriver Information Center (DIC)
on page 3-43for more information.
