rearview mirror with a compass and the OnStar®
system.

®

on the system and how to subscribe to OnStar®.
SeeOnStar®System on page 125for more
information about the services OnStar®provides.

Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror function is turned on
automatically each time the ignition is started.
To operate the automatic dimming mirror, do the
following:
1. Make sure the indicator light, located to the
left of the on/off button, is lit. If it’s not, press
and hold the on/off button until the light
comes on, indicating that the mirror is in
automatic dimming mode.
2. Turn off the automatic dimming mirror function
by pressing and holding the on/off button until
the indicator light turns off.
Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass

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.
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.
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, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the following zone map.2. Press and hold the on/off button for
six seconds. Release the button when
(FOR ZONE) is displayed. The number shown
is the current zone number.
3. Scroll through the zone numbers that appear in
the window on the mirror by pressing the on/off
button. Once you nd your zone number,
release the button. After about four seconds,
the mirror will return to the compass display,
and the new zone number will be set.

Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with a compass.
O(On/Off):This is the on/off button for the
automatic dimming feature and compass.
SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with
OnStar
®and Compass on page 121for information
on mirror operation.
Outside Power Mirror
The outside power
mirror control is located
on the driver’s door.
1. Turn the knob toward the mirror you desire
to adjust.
2. Move the control in the direction you want
the mirror to go.3. Adjust the mirror in all four directions so that
you can see the side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle.
4. After adjusting each mirror, turn the control
to the center position so the mirror cannot
be moved.
If you reach the mirror’s end of the travel position
in any direction, the mirror will enter a ratcheting
mode. This action is harmless. It is a warning that
the mirror can go no further. To stop this action,
back the mirror up by moving the control in
the opposite direction.
Fold the mirror in manually before entering a car
wash. To do this, pull the mirror in toward the
vehicle. Push the mirror back out when nished.

Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
The passenger’s outside mirror will adjust
to a preset tilt position while the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R) gear. Curb view assist may
be useful when you are parallel parking. The
mirror will return to normal position when
the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) gear.
Automatic mirror movement in either direction
will follow a short delay.
You can turn this feature on or off through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 205.
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 or left lane, you could hit a
vehicle. Check your inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger’s outside mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more can
be seen from the driver’s seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, a
defogger also warms the heated driver’s and
passenger’s outside rearview mirrors to help clear
them of ice, snow and condensation.

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.
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.
127
ProCarManuals.com

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 blue OnStar®button to conrm that your
OnStar®equipment is active.
