Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
Your vehicle has an adjustable throttle and
brake pedal that lets you change their positions.
This feature is designed for shorter drivers,
since the pedals can not move farther away from
the standard position, but can move toward
the driver for better pedal reach.
The feature will not operate when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R) or while using the cruise control.
The switch used to adjust the pedals is located on
the center console below the climate control
system.
Press the right and left arrows to move the pedals
either closer or further from your body.Your vehicle has a memory function which allows
the pedals to be saved and recalled. See
Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 12for
more information.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a
minimum of four hours prior to starting your
vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of
the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle
may also have an internal thermostat in the
plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of
the engine coolant heater when the temperature
is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Intellibeam™, OnStar
®,
Compass, and Temperature Display
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with Intellibeam, OnStar®, compass
and temperature display. For more information
on OnStar
®, seeOnStar®System on page 152.
For more information on Intellibeam™, see
“Intellibeam Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp
Control System” underExterior Lamps on
page 204.
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. Outside temperature
is also shown in the display.
Automatic Dimming
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside 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/temperature display on or off.
When the ignition and the display features are on,
the display will show two character boxes for
about two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror
will display the compass heading and temperature.
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
until CAL is shown 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 the correct direction.

Compass Variance
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 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.
Compass variance is the difference between
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north.
If the mirror is not adjusted to account for zone
changes, the compass could give false readings.
To adjust for zone changes, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the “auto highbeam” button
approximately six seconds until a zone
number appears in the display.
3. Once the zone number appears in the display,
press the “auto highbeam” button quickly until
you reach the correct zone number. Stop
pressing the button and the mirror will return to
normal operation. If C appears in the compass
window, the compass needs calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” listed previously.

Outside Temperature
Outside temperature is shown in the mirror
display. Temperature will be displayed in
Fahrenheit or Celsius based on the choice
of English or metric in the vehicle’s
con guration menu.
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.
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
®, Compass and
Temperature Display
Your vehicle may have this feature. When on, the
automatic dimming mirror dims to the proper level
to minimize glare from lights behind you after dark.
The mirror has a dual display in the upper right
corner of the mirror face that shows the compass
reading and the outside temperature.
Control buttons for the OnStar
®system, if
equipped, are at the bottom of the mirror. See
OnStar
®System on page 152for more information
about the services OnStar®provides.

be calibrated. For more information, see “Compass
Calibration” following.
To adjust between Fahrenheit and 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
approximately four seconds of inactivity, the
new unit will be locked in and the
compass/temperature display will return.
If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed
for an extended period of time, please see
your GM dealer. Under certain circumstances, a
delay in updating the temperature is normal.
Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror function is turned on
automatically each time the ignition is started.
