2007 CADILLAC XLR V Owners Manual

Outside Power Heated Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors
are located is on
the driver’s door
armrest.
Move the selector switch, located below the
four-way control pad, to the left or the right to
choose the driver’s side or passenger’s side mirror.
Use the arrows located on the four-way control
pad to adjust the position of the mirror. Adjust each
outside mirror so that a little of the vehicle and
the area behind it can be seen while sitting
in a comfortable driving position. Keep the selector
switch in the center position when not adjusting
either outside mirror.Both mirrors have a heated feature to rid them of
snow, ice, or condensation. They will heat
when the rear window defogger is turned on. See
“Rear Window Defogger” underDual Climate
Control System on page 178. If the vehicle has the
memory option, the preferred mirror position can
be stored. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel on page 10.
Both mirrors can be manually folded inward by
pulling them toward the vehicle. This feature may
be useful when going through a car wash or a
conned space. Push the mirrors away from the
vehicle, to the normal position, before driving.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
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 inside automatic
dimming rearview mirror. SeeAutomatic Dimming
Rearview Mirror with OnStar
®on page 104.
105

Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
The passenger’s side mirror is also capable
of performing the curb view assist feature. This
feature will cause the 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.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is
tilted, the mirror switch may be used. The
mirror will then return to this new position when
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE (R).
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and a ve-second delay has occurred, the
passenger’s side mirror will return to its original
position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Park
Assist” underDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 220for 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 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
look farther away than they really are.

How OnStar®Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar®services, your
vehicle’s OnStar®system has the capability of
recording and transmitting vehicle information. This
information is automatically sent to an OnStar
®Call
Center at the time of an OnStar®button press,
Emergency button press or if your airbags or AACN
system deploys. The vehicle information usually
includes your GPS location and, in the event of a
crash, additional information regarding the accident
that your vehicle has been involved in (e.g. the
direction from which your vehicle was hit). When
you use the Virtual Advisor feature of OnStar
®
Hands-Free Calling, your vehicle also sends
OnStar®your GPS location so that we can provide
you with location-based services.
109

OnStar®service cannot work unless your vehicle
is in a place where OnStar®has an agreement
with a wireless service provider for service in that
area. OnStar
®service also cannot work unless
you are in a place where the wireless service
provider OnStar
®has hired for that area
has coverage, network capacity and reception
when the service is needed, and technology that
is compatible with the OnStar
®service. Not all
services are available everywhere, particularly in
remote or enclosed areas, or at all times.
OnStar
®service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available in
that place as well.
Your vehicle must have a working electrical
system (including adequate battery power) for the
OnStar
®equipment to operate. There are other
problems OnStar®cannot control that may prevent
OnStar®from providing OnStar®service to you
at any particular time or place. Some examples are
damage to important parts of your vehicle in an
accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather
or wireless phone network congestion.
Your Responsibility
You may need to increase the volume of your
radio to hear the OnStar®advisor. If the light next
to the OnStar®buttons is red, this means that
your system is not functioning properly and should
be checked by a dealer. If the light appears
clear (no light is appearing), your OnStar
®
subscription has expired. You can always press
the OnStar®button to conrm that your OnStar®
equipment is active.
