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 the control off so that the
mirrors will not move if the control pad is touched.
Once a mirror is selected, use the arrows on the control
pad to move the mirror to the correct direction. Adjust
each mirror so you can see the side of your vehicle and
the area behind your vehicle.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent
damage when going through an automatic car
wash. To fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle.To return the mirror to its original position, push outward.
Be sure to return both mirrors to their original unfolded
position before driving.
If the vehicle has the memory package, the mirrors can
be programmed for personalization and curb view
assist. For more information, seeMemory Seat and
Mirrors on page 2-52andDIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 3-70.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
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 2-42for more information.
The outside curb view assist can be turned or off
through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-70for more
information.

as much snow from the rear window as possible.
The rear window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes

grid and affect your radio’s ability to pick up

effectively.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is at
