2009 CADILLAC SRX seat adjustment

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
The driver’s outside mirror may have an automatic
dimming feature that helps reduce glare from other
vehicle headlamps. This feature is controlled by the on
and off settings on the automatic dimming rearview
mirror. SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
on page 2-38.
Park Tilt Mirrors
If the vehicle has memory seat and mirrors, the driver’s
or passenger mirror can tilt to a pre-selected position
when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse). Shift the
vehicle out of R (Reverse) and after a short delay, both
mirrors return to their original position. Use this feature
to view the curb when parallel parking.
Select either mirror, or both mirrors through the Driver
Information Center (DIC) to activate this feature.
SeeDIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-60for
more information.
Use the mirror controls to make further adjustments
after the mirror is tilted. SeeOutside Power Mirrors on
page 2-39for more information.
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 lane, you could
hit a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from
the driver’s seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press to heat the
mirrors. See “Rear Window Defogger” underDual
Climate Control System on page 3-22for more
information.

Ashtray
For vehicles with an ashtray, it is located under the
climate control system on the instrument panel.
Press the door to release the ashtray.
To empty the ashtray, remove it from the instrument
panel by holding the edges and pulling straight out.
To reinstall, push the tray back into place.
There may also be ashtrays in the rear doors.
Cigarette Lighter
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is
heating does not let the lighter back away from the
heating element when it is hot. Damage from
overheating can occur to the lighter or heating
element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a
cigarette lighter in while it is heating.
The cigarette lighter is located next to the ashtray.
The vehicle does not have any cigarette lighters for the
rear seat passengers.
To activate the cigarette lighter, push it into the heating
element and let go. When the lighter is ready it will
pop back out.
Analog Clock
The analog clock is located on the instrument panel
above the radio. The clock is not connected with
any other vehicle system and runs by itself. To adjust
the clock:
1. Locate the adjustment button directly below the
clock face.
2. Push and hold the adjustment button to advance
the clock hands. Holding the button down will
cause the clock to advance faster. Release the
button before reaching the desired time.

one minute increments until the desired time is

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
<(Rear Defogger):Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. The rear window defogger stays on
for about 20 minutes, before turning off. At higher
vehicle speeds, the rear defogger can stay on
continuously. Each additional press runs the defogger
for about 10 minutes.
When the rear window defogger is pressed, the heated
outside mirrors come on. They help to clear fog or
frost from the surface of the mirror. SeeOutside Heated
Mirrors on page 2-40.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere
anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass.
These actions may damage the rear defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the knobs located in the center of each outlet to
change the direction of the airow. Use the thumbwheels
to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that could
block the ow of air into the vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air inside of the vehicle more
effectively.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment
air lter might need to be replaced. For more
information, seePassenger Compartment Air Filter
on page 3-28.
Set the climate control system to AUTO fan and
mode and then adjust the temperature setting
up or down a few degrees for best comfort.
