center console. A window switch for each rear window
is located on each rear door.
To open a window, press the bottom of the switch.
To close a window, press the top of the switch.
The power windows operate when the ignition is RUN
or ACC (Accessory), or while in Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP)
on page 2-24.
Express-Down Window
The driver’s window switch has an express-down feature
that allows the window to be lowered without holding the
switch. The switch is labeled AUTO. Press the bottom of
the switch part way, and the driver’s window will open a
small amount. Press the switch down all the way down
and release it and the window will go down automatically.
To stop the window while it is lowering, press and

Window Lockout
o
(Window Lockout):Your vehicle has a lockout
feature to prevent rear seat passengers from operating
the windows. Press the lockout button, located with
the power window switches, to turn the feature on and
off. When the red band on the button is showing,
the lockout feature is off.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, swing down the visor(s). The sun
visors can also be detached from the center mount and
swung out to cover the side windows. They can also
be slid along the rod to cover different areas of the
front window.

Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from lamps behind you, move the lever
toward you to the night position. Your vehicle may
also have reading lamps. Press the buttons, located
under the mirror, up to turn the lamps on or off.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with OnStar®, compass and reading lamps.
This feature enables the mirror to sense nighttime glare
from vehicle headlamps from behind and automatically
dim to reduce the glare to a safe level.
The automatic dimming feature turns on each time the
vehicle is started. Press the MIRROR button once
and the green indicator light located to the left of the
button will go out indicating the feature is off. To turn
the feature back on, press and release the MIRROR
button and the green indicator light will come on.
The reading lamps, located under the mirror, can be
turned on or off by pushing the buttons up.There are three additional buttons for the OnStar
®
system. See your dealer for more information on the
system and how to subscribe to OnStar®. See OnStar®
in the Index for more information.
Compass Operation
Press the compass button once to turn the compass
on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on,
the compass will show two character boxes for a
few seconds. After a few seconds, the mirror will
display the current compass direction.
Compass Calibration
If after a few 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, note pad holder, or similar object. If the
letter C appears in the compass window, the compass
may need to be reset or calibrated.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads
a direction.
2-38

Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If the mirror
is not adjusted 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
driven outside zone eight. Under certain circumstances,
such as a long distance, cross-country trip, it will be
necessary to adjust the compass variance.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the compass button until a zone
number appears on the display.
3. Once the zone number appears on the display,
press the compass button quickly until you reach
the correct zone number. If C appears in the
compass window, the compass may need
calibration. See “Compass Calibration” listed
previously.

Automatic Dimming Rearview
Mirror with OnStar
®, Compass
and Temperature Display
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with OnStar®, compass and temperature
display. If the vehicle has this feature, the automatic
dimming mirror automatically dims to the proper level to
minimize glare at night from lights behind your vehicle.
The mirror also has a dual display in the upper right
corner of the mirror that shows the compass reading and
the outside temperature.
There are three additional buttons for the OnStar
®
system. See your dealer for more information on the
system and how to subscribe to OnStar®. See OnStar®
in the Index for more information.
YOn/Off:Press this button to operate the automatic
dimming, compass and temperature features.
Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror function is turned on each
time the ignition is started. A light near the on/off button
will come on to indicate the automatic dimming is on.
If the automatic dimming function is off, press and hold
the on/off button for four seconds to manually turn
the system back on.
Temperature and Compass Display
Press the on/off button, located in the center, to cycle
between °F, °C and off. If the display reads CAL,
the compass needs to be calibrated. For more
information, see “Compass Calibration” later in this
section.
If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed for an
extended period of time, please consult your dealer.
Under certain circumstances, a delay in updating
the temperature is normal.
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 mirror’s
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 you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance.
2-40

To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find the current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button for ve seconds
until the word ZONE appears in the display.
The compass is now in zone mode.
3. Press and release the on/off button within
ve seconds until the new zone number appears
in the display. The display will show a compass
direction within a few seconds.Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
If CAL is displayed while driving in the vehicle.
After approximately 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, 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
in the on/off button for approximately eight seconds
or until CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle
in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display
reads a direction.
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.
2-41

Outside Power Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors
are located on the
driver’s door armrest.
Press the left or right side of the selector switch located
beneath the control pad to choose the left or right
mirror. Keep the selector switch in the center position
when not adjusting either outside mirror.
To adjust the mirror, press one of the four arrows
located on the control pad to move the mirror in the
direction you want it to go. Adjust each outside mirror
so that you can see a little of your vehicle, and the
area behind your vehicle.
Adjust each mirror so a little of the side of the vehicle
can be seen while sitting in a comfortable driving
position. These mirrors are designed to break away
when necessary.
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 more can be seen from
the driver’s seat. It also makes things appear farther
away than they really are.
