Window Lockout
o
(Lockout):Your vehicle has a lockout
feature to prevent passengers from operating
the power windows. The lockout switch is located
in front of the window switches on the driver’s
door. A light in the lockout switch will come on to
show that the switch has been activated. Press
the lockout switch again to return to normal
operation.
Sun Visors
Sun Visors with Slide Rod
Your vehicle may have this feature. Pull the sun
visor down to block glare. Detach the sun visor from
the center mount and slide it along the rod from
side-to-side to cover the driver or passenger side of
the front window. Swing the sun visor to the side to
cover the side window. It can also be moved along
the rod from side-to-side in this position.
Sun Visors with Fixed Rod and
Pull-out Extension
Your vehicle may have this feature. Pull the sun
visor down to block glare. Pull the sun visor
extender out for additional coverage. Detach the
sun visor from the center mount and swing it to the
side to cover the side window.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull the sun visor down and lift the mirror cover to
turn on the lamps. The lamps will turn off when
the cover is closed.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.

Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If your vehicle has this feature, you can change the
position of the throttle and brake pedals. This
feature is designed for shorter drivers, since the
pedals cannot move farther away from the standard
position, but can move closer for better pedal reach.
If your vehicle has this feature, it can be
programmed to work with the memory function. See
Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 11.
The vehicle must be in PARK (P) for this feature
to operate.
The switch used
to adjust the pedals
is located on the
steering column.
Press the switch forward or backward to move the
pedals closer or farther away from you.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a
minimum of four hours prior to starting your
vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of
the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle
may also have an internal thermostat in the
plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of
the engine coolant heater when the temperature
is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic-dimming
rearview mirror with a compass and the OnStar®
system.
There are three additional buttons for the OnStar
®
system. See your dealer for more information
on the system and how to subscribe to OnStar®.
SeeOnStar®System on page 125for more
information about the services OnStar®provides.
O(On/Off):This is the on/off button.
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
on or off.
There is a compass display in the window in the
upper right corner of the mirror face. The compass
displays a maximum of two characters. For
example, “NE” is displayed for north-east.

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.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
let you signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is nished, the lever
returns automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster ashes in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever returns
by itself when released. The bottom of the outside
rearview mirrors might also have lane change
indicators.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb could be burned out and other drivers will not
see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check the fuse. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 435and check for
burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, a turn signal asher is
used. With this asher installed, the signal
indicator ashes even if a turn signal bulb is
burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal
lamps regularly to make sure they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a
mile (1.2 km), a chime sounds at each ash of
the turn signal. To turn off the chime, move
the turn signal lever to the off position.
