Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
The vehicle may have an automatic dimming inside rearview mirror with OnStar® and/or a compass display. Automatic dimming reduces the glare from the headlamps of the vehicle behind you. The dimming feature comes on and the indicator light illuminates each time the vehicle is started.
Vehicles with OnStar have three additional control buttons located at the bottom of the mirror. See your dealer/retailer for more information on the system and how to subscribe to OnStar. See the OnStar® owners guide for more information about the services OnStar provides.
(On/Off): Press to turn the dimming feature and/or compass display on or off.
Cleaning the Mirror
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror. Use a soft towel dampened with water.
Compass
Compass Operation
There is a compass display in the upper right corner of the mirror.
Compass Calibration
Press and hold to activate the compass calibration mode. CAL displays in the compass window on the mirror.
If after a few seconds the display does not show a compass direction, (N for North for example), there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass.
Interference can be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, note pad holder, or similar object. If CAL displays in the compass window, the compass may need to be reset or calibrated.
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
The compass is set to zone eight. If you do not live in zone eight or drive out of the area, the compass variance needs to be changed to the appropriate zone.
To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold until the zone number displays.
The number shown is the current zone number.
3. Once the zone number displays, press repeatedly until the correct zone number displays. Stop pressing the button and the mirror returns to normal operation.
If CAL appears in the compass window, the compass may need calibration. See “Compass Calibration” listed previously.
Outside Power Mirrors
Controls for the outside power mirrors are located on the driver’s door armrest.
To adjust the mirror:
1. Press the left or right side of the selector switch located beneath the control pad to choose the driver or passenger side mirror.
2. Press one of the four arrows located on the control pad to move the mirror in the desired direction.
3. Adjust each outside mirror so that a little of the vehicle and the area behind it can be seen.
Manually fold the mirrors inward to prevent damage when going through an automatic car wash. To fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle. Push the mirror outward, to return to its original position.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If the vehicle has this feature, the driver side mirror adjusts for the glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and off settings on the automatic dimming rearview mirror. See Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror for more information.
Turn Signal Indicator
The vehicle may also have a turn signal indicator on the mirror. An arrow on the outside rearview mirror flashes in the direction of the turn or lane change. See Turn and Lane-Change Signals for more information.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
If the vehicle has the Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system, see Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA).
Park Tilt Mirrors
If the vehicle has memory mirrors, the outside mirrors have park tilt mirrors. This feature tilts the driver’s side and passenger side mirror to a factory programmed position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This feature may be useful in allowing you to view the curb when you are parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse) and either a five second delay has occurred, or the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF, the driver and passenger side mirrors return to their original position.
See DIC Vehicle Customization for more information.
Outside Convex Mirror
WARNING:
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 seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
For vehicles with heated mirrors:
(Rear Window Defogger): Press to heat the mirrors.
See “Rear Window Defogger” under Climate Control System or Dual Automatic Climate Control System for more information.
