Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
When you are sitting in a comfortable driving position,
adjust the mirror so you can see clearly behind your
vehicle. Grip 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.
Manual Rearview Mirror with
OnStar
®
Your vehicle may have a rearview mirror with the
OnStar®system.
Control buttons for the OnStar system are at the bottom
of the mirror. See your dealer/retailer for more
information on the OnStar system and how to subscribe
to OnStar. Also, seeOnStar
®System on page 2-41
for more information about the services OnStar provides.
Mirror Operation
The manual mirror operation works the same as the
manual mirror described previously, with the exception
that the mirror has OnStar.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with OnStar
®and Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview
mirror with a compass and OnStar®controls. For
more information about OnStar, seeOnStar®System on
page 2-41.
The automatic dimming feature turns on each time the
vehicle is started. To turn automatic dimming off or
on, press the left button below the mirror. A green
indicator light will be on when automatic dimming is on.
There are also three OnStar buttons located at the
bottom of the mirror. See your dealer/retailer for more
information on the system and how to subscribe to
OnStar. SeeOnStar
®System on page 2-41for more
information about the service OnStar provides.
Compass Operation
Press the on/off button once to turn the compass on
or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the
compass will show two character boxes for a few
seconds. After a few seconds, the mirror will display the
current compass direction.
2-37

To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number appears on the display.
3. Once the zone number appears on the display, press
the on/off button quickly until you reach the correct
zone number. If C appears in the compass window,
the compass may need calibration. See “Compass
Calibration” listed previously.Outside Power Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors,
are located on the
driver’s door.
Move the selector switch located next to the control pad
to the left or right to choose either the driver side or
passenger side mirror. To adjust a mirror, use the
arrows located on the control pad to move the mirror in
the desired direction. Adjust each outside mirror so
that a little of the vehicle and the area behind it can be
seen while sitting in a comfortable driving position.
Keep the selector switch in the center position when not
adjusting either outside mirror.
Both mirrors can manually be folded by pulling them
toward the vehicle. This feature may be useful
when going through a car wash or a conned space.
Push the mirrors away from the vehicle, to the normal
position, before driving.
