You can program this feature to disable all passenger

DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-67for more
information.
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 to block glare from that direction.
The driver’s sunshade may also have buttons for a
built-in garage door opener. SeeUniversal Home

Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull the visor down and lift the cover. The light will
automatically come on. The light will go out when you
close the cover.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
The security light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the security light
will ash, reminding you to arm the theft-deterrent
system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Lock the door using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the power door lock switch.
2. Close all the doors. The security light will illuminate.
It should go off within approximately 30 seconds.

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®
The vehicle may have an automatic dimming inside
rearview mirror with OnStar®controls. For more
information about OnStar®, seeOnStar®System on
page 2-42.
O(On/Off):The on/off button, located on the lower left
side of the mirror, is used for the automatic dimming
functions of the rearview mirror.
Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming feature comes on each time the

glare of lights from behind the vehicle.
To turn the automatic dimming feature on or off, press
and release the on/off button. The indicator light will
illuminate when this 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
The vehicle may have an automatic dimming inside
rearview mirror with a compass and OnStar®controls.
For more information about OnStar®, seeOnStar®

The mirror has an eight-point compass display in the
upper right corner of the mirror. When on, the compass
automatically calibrates, or sets the driving direction,
as the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle has the navigation
option, the direction the vehicle is facing will be
displayed on the navigation screen.
O(On/Off):The on/off button is located on the lower
left side of the mirror and is used for the automatic
dimming and compass functions of the rearview mirror.

Outside Power Heated Mirrors
The controls on the
driver’s door armrest
operate both outside
rearview mirrors.
Press the left or right mirror symbol on the selector
control to choose the driver’s side or passenger’s side
mirror. The center position is off and will not move
the mirrors if the directional control pad is touched.Once the mirror to be adjusted is selected, use the
arrows on the directional control pad to move the mirror.
Adjust each mirror so you can see the side of the
vehicle and the area behind it.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent
damage when going through an automatic car wash or a
conned space. 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 position before driving.
The preferred position can be stored in memory if the
vehicle has the memory option. SeeMemory Seat
and Mirrors on page 2-54for more information.
When the rear window defogger is turned on, both
outside rearview mirrors are heated to help clear them
of ice, snow, and condensation. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Climate Control System on
page 3-26for more information.

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
The driver’s outside mirror may have an automatic
dimming feature that helps to reduce glare from other
vehicles headlamps. This feature is controlled by the on
and off settings on the automatic dimming rearview
mirror. SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®on page 2-37.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If the vehicle has memory seat and mirrors, it will also
be capable of adjusting the passenger’s mirror to tilt to a
preselected position when the vehicle is shifted into
REVERSE (R). Use this feature to view the curb when
parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and
after a ve-second delay, the passenger’s mirror
will return to its original position.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror controls can be used. SeeOutside Power
Heated Mirrors on page 2-40for more information.
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 lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so that more can be seen
from the driver’s seat. The mirror does not have
a dimming feature.

Vehicle Personalization
In addition to the following features, your vehicle may
also have features that can be programmed through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle

Memory Seat and Mirrors

program and recall memory settings for the driver’s
seating and outside rearview mirror driving positions for
up to two drivers. If your vehicle has the adjustable
throttle and brake pedal feature, you can also program
and recall memory settings for the throttle and brake
pedal driving positions.
The buttons for this feature

2. Press and hold button 1 for at least three seconds.

page 3-67.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any
time, press one of the power seat or mirror controls.
