Mirrors Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Intellibeam™, OnStar®, and Compass Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview mirror with OnStar® and a compass display. For more information, see OnStar® System on page 2-43. For more information on Intellibeam™, see "Intellibeam Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp Control System" under Exterior Lamps on page 3-30. 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. Compass Operation AUTO 3: Press and hold the "auto highbeam" button for approximately three seconds 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 mirror will display the compass heading. 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 a C 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 a direction. Automatic Dimming Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic dimming rearview mirror. The automatic dimming feature is activated whenever the vehicle is turned on and dims only during nighttime driving. 2-35
