If you have an automatic transaxle, the ignition
switch cannot be turned to LOCK unless the shift
lever is in PARK (P).
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from
the ignition switch could cause damage
or break the key. Use the correct key and turn
the key only with your hand. Make sure the
key is all the way in. If it is, turn the steering
wheel left and right while you turn the key
hard. If none of this works, then your vehicle
needs service.
{CAUTION:
If you have a manual transaxle removing
the key from the ignition switch will lock
the steering column and result in a loss
of ability to steer the vehicle. This could
cause a collision. If you need to turn the
engine off while the vehicle is moving,
turn the key to ACC.ACC (Accessory):This position operates some
of your electrical accessories. It unlocks the
steering wheel and ignition.
R(RUN):This is the position the switch returns to
after you start your engine and release the switch.
The switch stays in RUN 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.

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview
Mirror with OnStar
®, Compass
and Temperature Display
When on, an automatic dimming mirror
automatically dims to the proper level to
minimize glare from lights behind you after dark.
The mirror also includes a dual display in the
upper right corner of the mirror face. The compass
reading and the outside temperature will both
appear in the display at the same time.
P(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 on. 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.
Temperature and Compass Display
Press the on/off button, located to the far left, briey
to turn the comp/temp display on or off.
If the display reads CAL, the compass needs
to be calibrated. See the information following
on calibration.
125
ProCarManuals.com

To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius, do the
following:
1. Press and hold the on/off button until either a
ashing °F or °C appears.
2. Press the button again to change the display
to the desired unit of measurement. After
approximately four seconds of inactivity, the
new unit will be locked in and the display
will return.
Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration from time
to time.
In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the
mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed,
push in the on/off button for approximately
nine seconds or until CAL is displayed.
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, or the word CAL
disappears.
Compass Variance
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 you live
outside of zone eight. Under certain circumstances,
as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will
be necessary to adjust for compass variance.
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. 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.
126
ProCarManuals.com

2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number appears in the display. The compass
is now in zone mode.
3. Keep pressing the on/off button until the
desired zone number appears in the display.
Release the button. After approximately four
seconds of inactivity, the new zone number
will be locked in and the comp/temp display
will return.
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.
Outside Power Mirrors
The outside power
mirror controls are
located on the driver’s
side of the vehicle
next to the shift lever.
Move the selector switch to the left or right to
choose the mirror to be adjusted; then press the
four-way control pad to adjust the direction of
the mirror.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in
both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles or kilometers.
Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer.
If ERROR is displayed, this indicates someone
has probably tampered with the odometer and the
reading may not be accurate. You may wonder
what happens if your vehicle needs a new
odometer installed. The new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then that will be
done. If not, it will be set at zero and a label must
be put on the driver’s door to show the old mileage
reading when the new odometer was installed.
If the mileage is unknown, the label should then
indicate “previous mileage unknown”.
Trip Odometer
Your trip odometer is located on the instrument
panel and shows how far your vehicle has been
driven since the trip odometer was last reset.
To reset the trip odometer to zero, press and hold
the trip/reset button on the speedometer for about
two seconds. Press the trip/reset button to switch
between the trip odometer and odometer.

Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice:If you operate the engine above
6,900 rpm, your vehicle could be damaged,
and the damages would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not operate the engine with the
tachometer above 6,900 rpm.Notice:For the VUE Redline, if you operate
the engine with the tachometer in the shaded
warning area, your vehicle could be damaged,
and the damages would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not operate the engine with
the tachometer in the shaded warning area.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a
chime will come on for several seconds to remind
people to fasten their safety belts, unless the
driver’s safety belt is already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will ash for
several more.
This chime and light will be repeated if the driver
remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion.
If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither
the chime nor the light will come on.
