change and will show this as a warmer temperature on the display. Temperatures exceeding 62°C (143°F) will 
be out of the mirror's temperature range and SC will be shown on the temperature display. In colder outside air 
temperatures, the ambient air temperature sensor will raise in resistance. The inside rearview mirror will show a 
colder temperature on the display. Temperatures lower than -40°C (-40°F) will be out of the mirrors 
temperature range which OC will be shown on the temperature display. In cold temperatures such as 3°C (37°F) 
or below, the temperature display will show ICE when the ignition is first turned ON. The display will toggle 
between ICE and the actual outside temperature until the temperature update process is complete. 

Temperature Display Update Process 

The inside rearview mirror has a temperature program that takes in account the fact that the radiator will heat 
the ambient air temperature sensor if the radiator is warm and the vehicle is not moving. If the vehicle has been 
off for more than 2 hours, the mirror temperature program assumes that the radiator has cooled and that the 
temperature supplied by the ambient air temperature sensor is accurate. Because of this, if the vehicle has been 
off for more than 2 hours, the mirror displays the temperature as reported by the ambient air temperature sensor. 
When the ambient air temperature sensor reports a new temperature to the mirror, one of the following cases 
will apply: 

z

Ignition is OFF for more than 2 hours, then is turned ON for more than 3 minutes. The outside 
temperature is greater than the last temperature recorded by the mirror for 2 minutes. The mirror will 
increase the last temperature reading by one degree every 2 minutes for 8 consecutive times. If the outside 
temperature is not matched after the 8th update, the mirror will then display the current outside 
temperature.  

z

Ignition is off for more than 2 hours, then is turned ON for less than 3 minutes. The mirror will update the 
temperature display every 2 seconds.  

z

Ignition is OFF for more than 2 hours, then is turned ON for more than 3 minutes. The outside 
temperature is less than the last temperature recorded by the mirror. The mirror will then display the 
current outside temperature.  

z

Ignition has been OFF for less than 2 hours. The outside temperature is greater than the last temperature 
recorded by the mirror, but the ignition is cycled from ON to OFF within 2 minutes. The mirror will 
display the old temperature.  

z

Ignition has been OFF for less than 2 hours. The outside temperature is less than the last temperature 
recorded by the mirror. The mirror will then display the current outside temperature.  

Switches of the Inside Rearview Mirror with the Automatic Day-Night Feature and Compass without OnStar(R) 

The inside rearview mirror has 2 switches that perform the following functions: 

z

The MIRROR switch is used to enable or disable the automatic day-night feature of the mirror. With the 
ignition in the ON position, depress the MIRROR switch to enable the automatic day-night feature of the 
mirror. A green indicator will illuminate on the mirror when the automatic day-night feature is enabled. 
To disable the automatic day-night feature of the mirror, depress the MIRROR switch.  

z

The COMPASS switch is used to turn the compass ON and OFF. With the ignition in the ON position, 
depress the COMPASS switch to turn the compass ON. Depress the COMPASS switch again to turn the 
compass OFF. The COMPASS switch is also used to place the compass into a calibration or zone mode. 
For more information, refer to Compass Calibration and Variance Procedure .

Switches of the Inside Rearview Mirror with the Automatic Day-Night Feature, Compass/Temperature Display without 
OnStar(R) 

The inside rearview mirror has 2 switches that perform the following functions: 

z

The TEMP switch is used to turn the compass/temperature display ON or OFF, it is also used to enable or 
disable the automatic day-night feature of the mirror. With the ignition in the ON position, depress the 
TEMP switch to enable the compass/temperature display. Depress the TEMP switch again to disable the 
compass/temperature display. The TEMP switch can be held for 4 seconds in order to change the display 
from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), or from Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F). Depress the TEMP switch 
until the green indicator illuminates on the mirror. This indicates that the automatic day-night feature is 
enabled. To disable the automatic day-night feature of the mirror, depress the TEMP switch until the 
green indicator turns OFF.  

z

The COMP switch is used to turn the compass/temperature display ON or OFF. With the ignition in the 
ON position, depress the COMP switch to turn the compass/temperature display ON. Depress the COMP 
switch again to turn the compass/temperature display OFF. The COMP switch is also used to place the 
compass into a calibration or zone mode. For more information, refer to Compass Calibration and 
Variance Procedure
 .  

Switches of the Inside Rearview Mirror with the Automatic Day-Night Feature with Compass and OnStar(R) 

The inside rearview mirror has 4 switches that perform the following functions: 

z

The ON/OFF switch located at the left side of the mirror performs the following functions: 

{

To enable or disable the automatic day-night feature of the mirror - With the ignition in the ON 
position, depress and hold the ON/OFF switch for 4 seconds to enable the automatic day-night

COMPASS CALIBRATION AND VARIANCE PROCEDURE 

Compass Calibration 

Before calibrating the compass, drive the vehicle to an open area that is magnetically clean or free of large 
metallic objects such as high tension power lines or large steel buildings. Verify there are no magnetized roof 
antennas, magnets on or hanging from the mirror, or any other magnetized objects on the inside or outside of 
the vehicle close to the mirror. 

1. Start the engine. 

2. Press and hold the switch for the compass, which may be depicted as COMP, COMPASS, or on/off 

(w/UE1) depending on the type of mirror on the vehicle, until the letter "C" or "CAL" is displayed.  

3. Drive the vehicle in circles at a speed of less than 8 km/h (5 mph) until the "C" or "CAL" is replaced by a 

proper vehicle heading. The calibration procedure is now complete.  

Compass Magnetic Variation Adjustment 

Magnetic variation adjustments are required when the compass displays a constant error in heading. Variation is 
the difference between magnetic north and true north due to geographical location. 

IMPORTANT: Before calibrating the compass, make sure the mirror has the correct 

zone number. Refer to Compass Magnetic Variation Adjustment.

(w/UE1) depending on the type of mirror on the vehicle, until a zone number appears on the compass 
display.  

4. Depress the switch for the compass to select the desired zone number.  

5. Wait 5 seconds. The display will return to a compass heading. The variance procedure is now complete.  

6. Calibrate the compass. Refer to Compass Calibration mentioned above.
