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 4-36 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 mount, magnetic note pad holder, or a similar magnetic item. If CAL should ever display in the compass window, the compass might need calibration.
Press and hold Y for several seconds to activate the compass calibration mode. CAL displays in the compass window on the mirror. The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display shows a direction.

With the ignition on, move the selector switch located on the center console to the left or right to choose either the driver or passenger side mirror. To adjust a mirror, use the arrows located on the four-way control pad to move the mirror in the desired direction. The mirror moves right or left, up or down. Adjust each mirror to see the side of your vehicle and the area beside and behind your vehicle. Keep the selector switch in the center position when not adjusting either outside mirror.
Compass Variance The mirror is set to zone eight. Adjust the compass to compensate for compass variance if you live outside zone eight. Under certain conditions, such as during a long-distance, cross-country trip, it is necessary to adjust for compass variance. If the variance is not adjusted, the compass could give false readings. To adjust for compass variance: 1. Find the current location
and variance zone number on the following zone map.

Cruise Control
For vehicles with cruise control, the lever is located on the left side of the steering wheel. The cruise control maintains the vehicle’s speed without having your foot on the accelerator pedal. The cruise control only works at speeds above 21 mph (33 km/h) (V6 engines) or above 24 mph (38 km/h) (V8 engines).
{ CAUTION Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use your cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
Setting Cruise Control
{ CAUTION
If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control.
1. Press the O Q button at the end of the cruise control lever. The CRUISE ON light comes on in the instrument panel cluster. See Instrument Panel Cluster on page 4-11.
2. Get up to the desired speed.

3. Turn the band down to SET−
and then release it. The CRUISE ACTIVE light comes on in the instrument panel cluster.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) becomes active, the cruise control automatically disengages. See Electronic Stability Program on page 8-16. When road conditions allow the cruise control can be used again.
Resuming a Set Speed If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied or the O Q button is pressed once, the cruise control shuts off.
Once the vehicle speed is 21 mph (33 km/h) (V6 engines) or 24 mph (38 km/h) (V8 engines) or greater, turn the band briefly to RES+ position. The vehicle returns to the previously set speed and stays there. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: (cid:129) Turn the I band up to the
RES+ position. Hold it there until the desired speed is reached, then release it.
(cid:129) To increase the vehicle speed in
very small amounts, turn the band to RES+ briefly and then release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce the vehicle speed while using cruise control: (cid:129) Turn the I band down to the
SET− position. Hold it there until the lower speed desired is reached, then release it.
(cid:129) To slow down in very small amounts, turn the band to SET− briefly and then release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle slows down to the cruise control speed set earlier.

Using Cruise Control on Hills How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle speed down. When the brakes are applied the cruise control is turned off.
Ending Cruise Control (cid:129) Step lightly on the brake pedal.
When the cruise control is deactivated, the CRUISE INACTIVE message appears in the instrument panel cluster. (cid:129) Press the O Q button at the
end of the lever two times.
Erasing Speed Memory The cruise control set speed memory is erased when the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals An arrow G on the instrument panel cluster flashes in the direction of the turn or lane change. To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. To signal a lane change, slightly raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash and release the lever. The turn signal flashes automatically three times. The lever returns to its starting position when it is released. To cancel the lane change, move the lever back to the starting position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer The headlamps must be on for this feature to work. Push the turn signal lever away from you to turn the high beams on. The fog lamps turn off automatically when high beam is selected. This instrument panel cluster light 3 comes on while the high beam headlamps are on.

Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on the right side of the steering column. The ignition must be turned to the ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position to use the windshield wipers.
Move the lever to the following positions:
z (Mist): Hold the lever in this position for continuous wiping cycles.
( (Off): Turns the wipers off. & (Intermittent): For a delayed wiping cycle. Turn the & band forward or rearward for more frequent or less frequent wipes.
The frequency of wipes also depends on the vehicle speed. As the vehicle speed increases, so does the wiper rate. 1 (Low): For steady wiping at low speed. 2 (High): For steady wiping at high speed. Never use the wipers on dry glass, as this could damage the wiper blade inserts and scratch the glass.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If the blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If they become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. A circuit breaker stops them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer Pull the lever toward you to spray washer fluid on the windshield. The spray continues until the lever is released. The wipers will run a few times. See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 9-22 for information on filling the windshield washer fluid reservoir.

Airbag Readiness Light There is an airbag readiness light which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag sensor, the pretensioners, the airbag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-19.
This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will flash for a few seconds. The light should go out and the system is ready.
If the airbag readiness light and the Airbag Fault message on the Driver Information Center (DIC) stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your airbag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away.
{ CAUTION
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the airbag system may not be working properly. The airbags in your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle serviced right away.

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator The vehicle has a passenger sensing system. The rearview mirror has a passenger airbag status indicator.
United States
Canada
When the vehicle is started, the passenger airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off, for several seconds as a system check. If you are using remote start to start your vehicle from a distance, if equipped, you may not see the system check. Then, after several more seconds, the status indicator will light either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol to let you know the status of the right front passenger frontal airbag. If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the right front passenger frontal airbag is enabled (may inflate).
{ CAUTION
If the on indicator comes on when you have a rear-facing child restraint installed in the right front passenger’s seat, it means that the passenger sensing system has not turned off the passenger’s frontal airbag. A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger’s airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger’s seat if the airbag is turned on.

If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a problem with the lights or the passenger sensing system. See your dealer/retailer for service.
{ CAUTION
If the airbag readiness light in the instrument panel cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle serviced promptly, because an adult-size person sitting in the right front passenger’s seat may not have the protection of the airbag(s). See Airbag Readiness Light on page 4-13 for more on this, including important safety information.
Voltmeter Gage
The voltmeter shows the voltage output of your battery. It is located in the center of the instrument panel.
Charging System Light
This light will come on briefly when you turn on the ignition, and the engine is not running, as a check to show it is working. Then it should go out when the engine is started. If the light comes on and an Alternator message on the Driver Information Center (DIC) stays on, you may have a problem with the electrical charging system. Have it checked by your dealer/retailer.
{ CAUTION
Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag if the system detects a rear-facing child restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though it is turned off. We recommend that rear-facing child restraints be secured in the rear seat, even if the airbag is off.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger frontal airbag. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-26 for more information, including important safety information.

If the light continues to flash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park the vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least 10 seconds, and restart the engine. If the light is still flashing, follow the previous steps and see your dealer/retailer for service as soon as possible. Light On Steady: An emission control system malfunction has been detected on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. You might be able to correct the emission system malfunction by considering the following: (cid:129) Make sure the fuel cap is fully installed. See Filling the Tank on page 8-35. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off.
If you keep driving your
Malfunctions often are indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. Heeding the light can prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This system assists your service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. Notice: vehicle with this light on, after a while, the emission controls might not work as well, your vehicle’s fuel economy might not be as good, and the engine might not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that might not be covered by your warranty. Notice: Modifications made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of your vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect your vehicle’s emission controls and can cause this light to come on.

If none of the above have made the light turn off, your dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. Your dealer/retailer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical problems that might have developed. Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or might begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent getting a vehicle registration.
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
If you just drove through a deep puddle of water, your vehicle’s electrical system might be wet. The condition is usually corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off. If you recently changed brands of fuel, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See Gasoline Octane on page 8-33. Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You might notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put the vehicle into gear, misfiring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration — these conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. If you experience one or more of these conditions, change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off.
Here are some things to know to help your vehicle pass an inspection: (cid:129) Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on or not working properly.
(cid:129) Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if you have recently replaced the battery or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, your dealer/retailer can prepare the vehicle for inspection.
