Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter
will not work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it is probably time to change
the battery.
The KEY FOB BATT LOW message in the
vehicle’s DIC will display if the remote keyless
entry transmitter battery is low.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry. Static
from your body transferred to these surfaces
may damage the transmitter.To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Use a at thin object to separate the bottom
half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with the
new one. Make sure the positive side of the
battery faces up. Use one three-volt, CR2032,
or equivalent, type battery.
3. Put the two halves back together. Make sure
the cover is on tightly, so water will not get in.

R(RUN):This is the position the switch returns to
after you start your engine and release the
switch. The switch stays in the RUN position when
the engine is running. But even when the ignition
is not running, you can use RUN to operate
your electrical accessories and to display some
warning and indicator lights.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ACC or RUN position with the engine
off. You may not be able to start your vehicle if
the battery is allowed to drain for an extended
period of time.
/(START):This position starts the engine.
When the engine starts, release the key.
The ignition switch will return to RUN for normal
driving.
A warning tone will sound if you open the driver’s
door while in LOCK or ACC, when the key has
not been removed from the ignition.
Key In the Ignition

is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your
vehicle,a chime will sound, when you open the
driver’s door. Always remember to remove
your key from the ignition and take it with you.
This will lock your ignition and transaxle.
Also, always remember to lock the doors.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ignition while your vehicle is parked.
You may not be able to start your vehicle after it
has been parked for an extended period of time.

displayed when the parking brake is applied and
the vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph (8 kph).
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 197.
Notice:Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to brake system
parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully
released and the brake warning light is
off before driving.Shifting Into Park (P)

It can be dangerous to get out of your
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in
PARK (P) with the parking brake rmly set.
Your vehicle can roll. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move
suddenly. You or others could be injured.
To be sure your vehicle will not move, even
when you are on fairly level ground, use
the steps that follow. If you are pulling a
trailer, seeTowing a Trailer (Manual
Transaxle) on page 276orTowing a Trailer
(Automatic Transaxle) on page 277.
1. Hold the brake pedal down and set the
parking brake.
2. Move the shift lever into PARK (P) by holding
the button on the shift lever and pushing the
lever all the way toward the front of the vehicle.

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.
O(On/Off):This is the on/off button for the
automatic dimming feature.
The automatic dimming feature turns on each time
the vehicle is started. Press and hold the on/off
button once and the green indicator light located to
the left of the button will go out indicating thefeature is off. To turn the feature back on, press
and hold the on/off 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 on/off 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 word CAL appears
in the compass window, the compass may
need to be reset or calibrated.
134

To calibrate the compass, do the following:
1. Make sure CAL is displayed. If CAL is not
displayed, press and hold the on/off button
until CAL is displayed.
2. While CAL is displayed, drive the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
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 on/off button untilaZand
a zone number appear on the display.
3. Once the zone number appears on the
display, press the on/off button quickly
until you reach the correct zone number.
If CAL appears in the compass window,
the compass may need calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” listed previously.

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.
