Oldsmobile 2001 Intrigue - Manual (Page 115)

2-48
The mirror has an eight - point compass display in the
upper right corner of the mirror face and a three - button
OnStar system. There are also two map lamps located on
the bottom of the mirror. Each lamp is turned on or off
with a switch located next to the lamp.
The automatic dimming feature is turned on or off by
pressing the far left button, located on the lower part of
the mirror face, for up to three seconds. If the button is
pressed and held for five to seven seconds, the compass
display will go blank.
There are three buttons for the OnStar system. See your
dealer for more information on the system and how to
subscribe to OnStar. See “OnStar
R
System” in the Index
for more information on the services OnStar provides.
Compass Calibration
Press the on/off button for eight seconds to activate
the compass calibration mode. The letter “C” will be
displayed in the compass window of the mirror.
The mirror can be calibrated in one of two ways:
D Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less
until the display indicates a direction, or
D drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, such as during a long
distance cross
- country trip, it will be necessary to
adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is
the difference between earth’s magnetic north and
true geographic north. If not adjusted to account
for compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.
