Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
The vehicle has an automatic dimming rearview

SeeOnStar
®System on page 2-54for more
information about the services OnStar provides.
O(On/Off):Press to turn the automatic dimming
feature on or off.
Your vehicle may also have a Rear Vision Camera.
SeeRear Vision Camera (RVC) on page 2-50for more
information.
Cleaning the Mirror
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror.
Use a soft towel dampened with water.
Outside Power Foldaway Mirrors
If your vehicle has outside
power foldaway mirrors,
the controls are located on
the driver’s door armrest.
Mirror Adjustment
1. Press (A) or (B) to select the driver or passenger
side mirror.

pad to move the mirror to the desired position.
3. Adjust each outside mirror so that a little of the
vehicle and the area behind can be seen.
2-47

4. Press (C), to fold the mirrors out to the driving
position.
5. Press (D) to fold the mirrors in to the folded
position.
If the mirrors are accidentally folded/unfolded manually,
they may shake or utter at normal driving speeds
and may not stay in the unfolded position. If this
happens, you will need to reset the mirrors.
See “Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors” next.
Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors
You will need to reset the power foldaway mirrors if the
following occurs:
The mirrors are accidentally obstructed while
folding.
They are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded position.
The mirrors shake and utter at normal driving
speeds.
To reset the power foldaway mirrors, fold and unfold
them three times using the mirror controls. This will reset
them to their normal position.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If the vehicle has this feature, the driver outside
mirror adjusts for the glare of the headlamps behind
you. SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror on
page 2-47for more information.
Park Tilt Mirrors
The vehicle’s outside mirrors can also perform a park tilt
function. This causes the passenger and/or driver’s mirror
to tilt to a preselected position when the vehicle is in
R (Reverse). This feature may be useful in viewing the
curb when parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse) and a
short delay has occurred, the passenger and/or driver’s
mirror will return to its original position.
To change the preselected tilt position, adjust the
mirrors to the desired position while the vehicle is
in R (Reverse). When the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), this new position is saved in memory
as the tilt position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center. SeeDIC Vehicle Customization
on page 3-64for more information.

Object Detection Systems
Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
This vehicle may have a Rear Vision Camera system.
Read this entire section before using it.
{CAUTION:
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC) system does not
replace driver vision. RVC does not:
Detect objects that are outside the camera’s
eld of view, below the bumper, or
underneath the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or pets.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at the rear
vision camera screen, or use the screen during
longer, higher speed backing maneuvers or where
there could be cross-traffic. Your judged distances
using the screen will differ from actual distances.
So if you do not use proper care before backing
up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian,
bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage,
injury, or death. Even though the vehicle has
the RVC system, always check carefully before
backing up by checking behind and around the
vehicle.
Vehicles Without Navigation System
The rear vision camera system is designed to help the
driver when backing up by displaying a view of the area
behind the vehicle. When the key is in the ON/RUN
position and the driver shifts the vehicle into R (Reverse),
the video image automatically appears on the inside rear
view mirror. Once the driver shifts out of R (Reverse),
the video image automatically disappears from the inside
rear view mirror.
