Turn Signal Indicator
The vehicle has a turn signal indicator on the mirror. An
arrow on the mirror flashes in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
Park Tilt Mirrors
If the vehicle has the memory package, the passenger
and/or driver mirror tilts to a preselected position when
the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This feature lets the driver
view the curb when parallel parking. The mirror(s) return
to the original position when the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse), or the ignition is turned off or to
OFF/LOCK.
Turn this feature on or off through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle Customization
on
page 4‑56for more information.
Outside Convex Mirror
{WARNING:
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 the right. Check the inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before changing
lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
<(Rear Window Defogger): Press to heat the
mirrors.

Object Detection Systems
Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
For vehicles with the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) system, it operates at speeds less than 8 km/h
(5 mph), and assists the driver with parking and
avoiding objects while in R (Reverse). The sensors on
the rear bumper are used to detect the distance to an
object up to 2.5 m (8 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least
25.4 cm (10 in) off the ground.
{WARNING:
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
system does not replace driver vision. It cannot
detect:
.Objects that are below the bumper,
underneath the vehicle, or if they are too close
or far from the vehicle
.Children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.(Continued)
WARNING: (Continued)
If you do not use proper care before and while
backing; vehicle damage, injury, or death could
occur. Even with URPA, always check behind the
vehicle before backing up. While backing, be sure
to look for objects and check the vehicle's mirrors.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into R (Reverse). A single tone sounds to
indicate the system is working.
URPA operates only at speeds less than
5 mph (8 km/h).
An obstacle is indicated by audible beeps. The interval
between the beeps becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in) the beeps are continuous.
To be detected, objects must be at least 25.4 cm (10 in)
off the ground and below tailgate level. Objects must
also be within 2.5 m (8 ft) from the rear bumper. This
distance may be less during warmer or humid weather.

IntelliBeam®Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
For vehicles with this feature, be sure to read this entire
section before using it.
IntelliBeam
®is an enhancement to the vehicle's
headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on the
rearview mirror, this system will turn the vehicle's
high-beam headlamps on and off according to
surrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam
®system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no other
traffic present, and the IntelliBeam
®system is enabled.
4-11

Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam®
Press and release the IntelliBeam®button on the inside
rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam®indicator on the
mirror will turn on to let you know the system has been
turned on. Once the system has been turned on, it will
remain on each time the vehicle is started. Additionally,
the IntelliBeam
®system must be enabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam
®system, turn the exterior
lamp control to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunction
lever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Light
will appear on the instrument panel cluster when the
high-beams are on. See Highbeam On Light
on
page 4‑38.
Driving with IntelliBeam®
IntelliBeam®will only activate your high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps will remain on, under the
automatic control of IntelliBeam
®, until any of the
following situations occur:
.The system detects an approaching vehicle's
headlamps.
.The system detects a preceding vehicle's
taillamps.
.The outside light is bright enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below 15 mph
(24 km/h).
.The headlamp stalk is moved forward to
the high-beam position. See Headlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer
on page 4‑5.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntelliBeam
®feature will be disabled and the
IntelliBeam®light in the mirror will turn off until the
high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral position.
.If IntelliBeam®was using low-beams prior to this
action, the IntelliBeam®feature will be temporarily
disabled until the stalk is returned to the neutral
position.
.The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam
®will be disabled
until the control is turned back to the AUTO
position.
.The IntelliBeam®system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
4-12

IntelliBeam®may not turn off the high-beams if the
system cannot detect other vehicle's lamps because of
any of the following:
.The others vehicle's lamp(s) are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view or otherwise
undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamp(s) are covered with dirt,
snow and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle's lamp(s) cannot be detected
due to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road
spray, mist or other airborne obstructions.
.Your vehicle's windshield is dirty, cracked or
obstructed by something that blocks the view of
the IntelliBeam light sensor.
.Your vehicle's windshield is covered with ice, dirt,
haze or other obstructions.
.Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of
the vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeam
sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps and
taillamps.
.You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.

headlamps or parking lamps are manually turned on
and the key is out of the ignition. To turn off the chime,
turn the headlamp switch to off or AUTO and then back
on, or close and re-open the door. In the AUTO mode,
the headlamps turn off once the ignition is in LOCK/OFF
or remains on until the headlamp delay ends (if enabled
in the DIC). See “Exit Lighting”underDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 4‑56.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on
all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system comes on when the following
conditions are met:
.The ignition is on.
.The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
.The engine is running.
.The light sensor determines it is daytime.

The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor, defog,
or defrost modes. If recirculation is selected with one of
those modes, the indicator light flashes three times and
then turns off. The air conditioning compressor also
comes on when this mode is activated. While in

weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, select either
the defog or defrost mode and increase the fan speed.
The recirculation mode can also be turned off by turning

clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere
anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass.
These actions may damage the rear defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
