Outside Power Mirrors
The control on the
driver’s door armrest
operates both outside
rearview mirrors.
Press the left or right mirror symbol on the
selector switch to choose the driver’s side or
passenger’s side mirror. The center position turns

If the vehicle has the memory seat and mirrors,
the passenger’s mirror can be tilted to a
preselected position when the vehicle is shifted into
REVERSE (R). Use this outside curb view assist
feature to view the curb when parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and after a ve-second delay, the passenger’s
mirror will return to its original position.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is
in a tilted position, the mirror controls can be used.
SeeOutside Power Mirrors on page 140for more
information.
The outside curb view assist can be turned on or
off through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization on page 242for
more information.
Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like
other vehicles) look farther away than they
really are. If you cut too sharply into the
right lane, you could hit a vehicle on your
right. Check your inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder before changing lanes.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so that more can be
seen from the driver’s seat. The mirror does not
have a dimming feature.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When the rear window defogger is turned on,
it also warms both outside rearview mirrors to help
clear them of fog or ice. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Climate Control System on
page 189for more information.
