Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Intellibeam™, OnStar®, Compass, and Temperature Display

Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview mirror with Intellibeam, OnStar®, compass and temperature display. For more information on OnStar®, see OnStar® System on page 152. For more information on Intellibeam™, see “Intellibeam Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp Control System” under Exterior Lamps on

page 204.

The mirror 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. Outside temperature

is also shown in the display.

Automatic Dimming

Your vehicle is equipped with an inside automatic dimming rearview mirror. The automatic dimming feature is activated whenever the vehicle is turned on and dims only during nighttime driving.

Compass Operation

AUTO 3: Press and hold the “auto highbeam” button for approximately three seconds to turn the compass/temperature display on or off.

When the ignition and the display features are on, the display will show two character boxes for about two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display the compass heading and temperature.

Compass Calibration

If after two seconds the display does not show the correct 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.

The compass can be placed in calibration mode manually by pressing and holding the “auto highbeam” button for approximately nine seconds until CAL is shown in the compass display.

The mirror can then be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads the correct direction.
