O
(On/Off):
For mirrors equipped with OnStar
®
controls, press and hold this button for several seconds
to turn on the automatic dimming feature on or off.
The indicator light will come on when this feature is on.
The automatic dimming feature will go on each time
the vehicle is started.
Compass Operation
COMPASS:
Press and hold this button to turn the
compass feature on or off.
For mirrors equipped with OnStar
®
controls, briefly
press the on/off button to turn the compass on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the
compass will show two character boxes for about
two seconds. After two seconds, the compass will
display the direction of the vehicle.
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. 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.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display
shows a direction.
Mirrors equipped with OnStar
®
controls can be placed
in calibration mode by pressing and holding the
on/off button until a C is shown in the compass display.
See
DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-50
for
more information regarding compass calibration and
compass variance.
