or ice. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index for
more information.
The mirrors can also be programmed for
personalization. For more information, see ªMemory
Seat and Mirrorsº and ªSecondary Information Centerº
in the Index.
Curb View Assist Mirror
For this function to work, it must be enabled in the SIC.
See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index for
more information.
Your vehicle is equipped with the curb view assist
mirror feature. When the vehicle is shifted into
REVERSE (R) there will be a three second delay
before the curb view assist mirror(s) tilt to a preselected
position. This feature may be useful in allowing you
to view the curb when you are parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five second delay has occurred, the selected mirrors will
return to the original position.If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror controls may be used.
You can also adjust the angle of tilt for each outside
mirror by doing the following:
1. Place the vehicle in REVERSE (R) and allow
the mirrors to tilt (be sure this feature is enabled
in the SIC).
2. Change the angle of mirror tilt to your liking with
the mirror controls.
The mirrors are now set to the desired position.
This feature can also be disabled/configured through the
SIC. See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index
for more information.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
The driver's outside mirror will adjust for the glare of
any headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off settings on the electrochromic mirror.
See ªElectrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror with
Compass and Temperatureº earlier in this section.

4-56 Driving with a Trailer
CAUTION:
If you have a rear-most window open and you
pull a trailer with your vehicle, carbon monoxide
(CO) could come into your vehicle. You can't see
or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness or
death. See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index. To
maximize your safety when towing a trailer:

Have your exhaust system inspected for
leaks, and make necessary repairs before
starting on your trip.

Keep the rear
-most windows closed.

If exhaust does come into your vehicle
through a window in the rear or another
opening, drive with your front, main
heating or cooling system on and with the
fan on any speed. This will bring fresh,
outside air into your vehicle. Do not use
recirculation because it only recirculates
the air inside your vehicle. See ªComfort
Controlsº in the Index.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience.
Before setting out for the open road, you'll want to get
to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of
handling and braking with the added weight of the
trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are
driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as
responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform
(and attachments), safety chains, electrical connector,
lamps, tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has
electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and
then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure
the brakes are working. This lets you check your
electrical connection at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the
load is secure, and that the lamps and any trailer brakes
are still working.
