Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Compass and Temperature
Display
Your vehicle may have this mirror. When on, an
automatic dimming mirror will dim to the proper
level to minimize glare from lights behind you
after dark.
The mirror also includes a dual display in the

Outside Trailer-Tow Mirrors
If your vehicle has trailer towing type mirrors, they
can be adjusted so you can have a clear view
of the objects behind you. Manually pull out
the mirror head to extend it for better visibility
when towing a trailer.These mirrors can be manually folded forward or
rearward. The lower portion of the mirror is
convex. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so
you can see more from the driver’s seat. The
convex mirror can be adjusted manually to the
driver’s preferred position for better vision.
Your vehicle may have outside heated mirrors
which help clear them of condensation, snow, and
ice. When the rear window defogger button is
pressed, the heated mirrors are also turned on.
Only the upper glass of the mirror is heated.
The lower convex part of the mirror is not heated.
Your mirror may also have a turn signal arrow
that will ash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
169

Turn Signal Indicator
Your vehicle may have a turn signal indicator on
the mirror. An arrow on the mirror will ash in
the direction of the turn or lane change.
Ground Illumination Lamps
The mirrors may also include ground illumination
lamps in the base of the mirror. These lamps
help you see the area near the base of the front
doors when it is dark out.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature,
the driver’s outside mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is
controlled by the on and off settings found on the
electrochromic inside mirror. SeeAutomatic
Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar
®, Compass
and Temperature Display on page 162or
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass
and Temperature Display on page 166for more
information.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirrors
If your vehicle has the memory package, the
outside mirrors are able to perform the curb view
assist mirror function. This feature may be
useful in in allowing the driver to view the curb
when parallel parking. This feature will cause the
passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror to tilt to a
preselected position when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R).
The passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror will return to
its original position when the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) and either a thirty second delay has
occurred, the vehicle speed is greater than 8 mph
(12 km/h), or the ignition is turned to off.
This feature can be turned on or off through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDriver
Information Center (DIC) on page 260for more
information.

The windshield wipers are controlled by turning
the band with the wiper symbol.
8(Mist):Turn the band to mist for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers
start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after one
wipe. Hold the band on mist longer, for more wipe
cycles.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band
to off.
6(Delay):The wiper speed can be set for a long
or short delay between wiping cycles. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band
to choose the delay time. The closer 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):Turn the band further, to the
second solid band past the delay settings, for
high-speed wiping.
Rainsense™ II Wipers
If your vehicle has Rainsense™ II windshield
wipers, the moisture sensor is located next to the
inside rearview mirror and is mounted on the
windshield. When active, these sensors are able
to detect moisture on the windshield and
automatically turn on the wipers.
To turn on the Rainsense™ feature, the wipers
must be set to one of the ve delay settings on the
multifunction lever. Each of the ve settings
adjusts the sensitivity of the rainsensor.
Since different drivers have different setting
preferences, it is recommended that the mid-range
setting (position 3) be used initially. For more
wipes, select the higher settings; for fewer wipes,
select the lower settings located closer to the
off position on the multifunction lever.
208

-(Defog):The defog mode is used to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. This mode directs air to the
windshield, oor outlets, and side window vents.
When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
close to freezing. The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in the defog mode. Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
0(Defrost):The defrost mode is used to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly. This mode directs a portion of the air to
the windshield and side window vents and some to
the oor vents. In this mode, the system will
automatically force outside air into your vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in
the defrost mode. The air conditioning compressor
will run automatically in this setting, unless the
outside temperature is close to freezing. Do
not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
on the right knob to turn on the rear window
defogger. The system will automatically turn off
several minutes after it has been activated. The
defogger can also be turned off by pressing the
button again or by turning off the engine. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors,
the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirror when the rear
window defog button is pressed.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to the
defogger grid.
