Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle has an electrochromic inside rearview
mirror with a compass. Your vehicle’s mirror may also
contain OnStar
R
controls.
This is the on/off button for mirrors equipped
with OnStar controls.
Pressing the MIRROR button (or the on/off button for
mirrors equipped with OnStar controls) located at the
bottom of the mirror, turns the automatic dimming
feature on or off.
The mirror also includes an eight - point compass display
in the upper right corner of the mirror face. When on, the
compass automatically calibrates as the vehicle is driven.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause
the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Mirror Operation
To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press MIRROR
(or press and hold the on/off button for about three seconds
for mirrors equipped with OnStar controls). To turn off
automatic dimming, press MIRROR (or press and hold
the on/off button for about three seconds for mirrors
equipped with OnStar controls) again. The green indicator
light will be illuminated when this feature is active.
The automatic dimming feature will be active each time
the vehicle is started.
Compass Operation
Press COMPASS (or the on/off button for mirrors equipped
with OnStar controls) once to turn the compass on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the
compass will show two character boxes for approximately
two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display the
compass heading.
Compass Calibration
If after two seconds, the display does not show a compass
heading (“N” for North, for example), there may be a
strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. Such
interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna mount,
magnetic note pad holder or a similar magnetic item.
If the letter “C” should ever appear in the compass
window, the compass may need calibration.
