Automatic Headlamp System
(if equipped)
When it is dark enough outside, your
automatic headlamp system will turn on
your headlamps at the normal bright-
ness and will also illuminate the tail-
lamps, side-marker, parking lamps, and
instrument panel lights. The radio lights
will also dim.
The system has a light sensor located
on top of the instrument panel. Be sure
it is not covered, or the automatic head-
lamps will be on whenever the
ignition is on. The system may also turn
on your headlamps when driving
through a parking garage, heavy over-
cast weather or a tunnel. This is normal.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Horn Operation
VUE’s horn controls are located on the
steering wheel. For optimum sound,
press either one of the bugle icons
located in the center area of the steering
wheel. On four-cylinder models, the
Saturn logo center section is not part of
the horn.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Turning or Removing the
Ignition Key
If you have difficulty turning or removing
the ignition key from the steering col-
umn, rotate the steering wheel slightly
from left to right while simultaneously
turning or removing the key.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Compass Calibration
(if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
automatic-dimming rearview mirror that
includes a compass display in the
upper-right corner of the mirror face.
To calibrate the compass:
• Press and hold the COMP button
(located at the bottom of the mirror)
for six seconds to activate the calibra-
tion mode. (If your VUE is equipped
with the optional OnStar
®
system,
press the On/Off button ( ) for
nine seconds.)
Then, do one of the following:
• Drive your vehicle in circles at 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less until the “CAL”
display disappears, or
• Drive the vehicle on your everyday
routine (this method may take longer
to calibrate).
Compass Variance
• At times, it will be necessary to adjust
the compass to account for compass
variance. See your Owner Manual
for the proper adjustment procedure.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
