Dome Lamp

The dome lamp will come on when you open a door.
You can also turn this lamp on by turning the exterior
lamp control clockwise as far as it will go.

Battery Rundown Protection

Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case you accidentally leave on the
interior courtesy lamps, reading/map lamps, visor vanity
lamps, trunk lamp or glove box lamps. If you leave any
of these lamps on, they will automatically turn off after
10 minutes, if the ignition is moved to OFF. The lamps
won’t come back on again until you do the following:
D Turn the ignition on or
D turn the exterior lamps control off, then on again.
If your vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the
odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after
only three minutes.

Battery rundown protection will also work if the
headlamps are left on. After having been left on for 
10 minutes, the headlamps and the parking lamps will
flash three times. They will remain on for one more
minute before being turned off automatically.

Mirrors

Adjust all the mirrors so you can see clearly when you
are sitting in a comfortable driving position.

Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror with
Map Lamps

To reduce glare from headlamps behind you, pull the
lever at the bottom of the mirror toward you (to the
night position). To return the mirror back to the day
position, push the lever away from you.

There are two map lamps located on the bottom of the
mirror. Each lamp is turned on and off by pressing the
button next to the lamp.

Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror with
OnStar

R

 and Map Lamps (Option)

This mirror has a lever located at the bottom of the
mirror between the two map lamps. This lever is used to
change the mirror from day to night position. To reduce
glare from headlamps behind you while driving at night,
turn the lever 90 degrees. To return the mirror back to
the day position, return the lever to its original position.
