Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Intellibeam™, OnStar
®, and
Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with OnStar®and a compass
display. For more information, seeOnStar®
System on page 139. For more information on
Intellibeam™, see “Intellibeam Intelligent
High-Beam Headlamp Control System” under
Exterior Lamps on page 193.
The mirror includes an eight-point compass
display in the upper right corner of the mirror face.
When on, the compass automatically calibrates
as the vehicle is driven.
Automatic Dimming
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
dimming rearview mirror. The automatic dimming
feature is activated whenever the vehicle is
turned on and dims only during nighttime driving.
Compass Operation
AUTO3:Press and hold the “auto highbeam”
button for approximately three seconds 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
If after two seconds the display does not show the
correct 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.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode
manually by pressing and holding the “auto
highbeam” button for approximately nine seconds
untilaCisshown in the compass display.
The mirror can then be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If the vehicle is equipped with this feature, the
driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off settings on the automatic
dimming rearview mirror.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it
will also be capable of performing the curb
view assist mirror feature. This feature will allow
the driver’s and passenger’s side mirror to tilt to a
factory programmed 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 either a ve-second delay has occurred,
or the ignition is turned to OFF, the driver’s and
passenger’s side mirror will return to its original
position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
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 side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen
from the driver’s seat. This mirror does not have a
dimming feature.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it
also warms both outside mirrors to help clear them
of fog or ice. SeeDual Climate Control System
on page 210for more information.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. The lever returns automatically when the
turn is complete. If you momentarily press and
release the lever, the turn signal will ash 3 times.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster and in the
outside rearview
mirror will ash in the
direction of the turn
or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to
ash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until
the lane change is complete. The lever returns
when it is released.
If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will
sound and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will
display TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a
mile to remind you to turn it off. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 246.Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a
turn or lane change may be caused by a burned
out signal bulb. Other drivers will not see the
turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs
if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
SeeRear Underseat Fuse Block on page 455.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Push forward to change the headlamps from
low beam to high. Pull the lever back and then
release it to change from high beam to low.
This light on the
instrument panel cluster
will be on, indicating
high-beam usage.

Cleaning the System
The radar can become blocked by snow, ice, or
dirt. If so, you may need to turn off the engine
and clean the lens. See “Cleaning the System”
underAdaptive Cruise Control on page 179.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use the high-beam
headlamps to signal the driver in front of
you that you want to pass.
The ash-to-pass feature will only work with the
headlamps on. It does not work with Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL).
Pull and hold the turn signal lever toward you
to use.
If the headlamps are on high beam, they will
switch to low beam. To return to high beam,
push the lever away from you.

You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(Mist):Turn the band to mist for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers start.
Then let go. The wipers stop after one wipe.
For more wipe cycles, hold the band longer
on mist.
6(Delay):Turn the band to choose the delay time
between wipe cycles. The wiper speed can be set
for a long or short delay between wipes. The closer
the band is set to the top of the lever, the shorter
the delay.
6(Low Speed):Turn the band away from
you to the rst solid band past the delay settings
for steady wiping at low speed.
1(High Speed):For high-speed wiping, turn
the band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.
