Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror with
OnStar
®
When you are sitting in a comfortable driving
position, adjust the mirror so you can see clearly
behind your vehicle. Hold the mirror in the
center to move it up or down and side to side. The
day/night adjustment allows you to adjust the
mirror to avoid glare from the lamps behind you.
Move the lever to the right for nighttime use and to
the left for daytime use.
There may also be three OnStar
®buttons located
at the bottom of the mirror face. SeeOnStar®
System on page 145for more information.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic-dimming
rearview mirror with a compass.There may be three additional buttons for the
OnStar
®system. See your dealer/retailer for more
information on the system and how to subscribe
to OnStar
®. SeeOnStar®System on page 145for
more information about the services OnStar®

O(On/Off):This is the on/off button.
Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror comes on each time
the ignition is turned to start. To turn the
automatic dimming feature off or back on, press
the on/off button. The indicator light on the mirror is
lit when the automatic dimming feature is on.
Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass

There is a compass display in the window in the
upper right corner of the mirror face.
Compass Calibration
Press and hold the on/off button to activate the
compass calibration mode. CAL will be displayed
in the compass window on the mirror.
140
The compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
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 letter C or CAL
appears in the compass window, the compass may
need to be reset or calibrated.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north.
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
you live outside zone eight. Under certain
circumstances, such as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. If not adjusted to account
for compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until the zone
number is displayed. The number shown is
the current zone number.
