Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
The vehicle has a manual rearview
mirror with a compass display
and OnStar
®
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 OnStar
®
System on page 4-35
for more information about the
services OnStar provides.
Adjust the mirror to see clearly
behind your vehicle. Hold it in the
center to move it up or down and
side to side.
Headlamp Glare
1. To reduce headlamp glare from
vehicles following from behind,
pull the lever toward you.
The rear view clarity is reduced
when the mirror is set to
reduce headlamp glare.
2. Return the lever back to its
original position as soon as
the glare has disappeared to
restore the rear view.
Cleaning the Mirror
Do not spray glass cleaner directly
on the mirror. Use a paper towel
or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner.
Compass
Compass Display
Y (On/Off): Press to turn the
compass on or off. The compass
display can show a maximum of
two characters. For example,
NE is displayed for north-east.
When the ignition and the compass
feature are on, a character box
displays for about two seconds.
After two seconds, the mirror
displays the direction the vehicle
is facing.
Compass Calibration
When on, the compass automatically
calibrates as the vehicle is driven.
If, after two 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
