Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or
similar material dampened with glass cleaner.
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror
as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
Outside Power Heated Mirrors
The power mirror
control is on the driver’s
door armrest and
controls the driver’s
side and passenger’s
side mirrors.
Move the selector switch left or right to choose the
driver’s side or passenger’s side mirror. Use the
arrows located on the control pad to adjustthe position of each mirror. Adjust each mirror so
you can see the side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle. Return the selector
switch to the center position when nished
adjusting. This will prevent unwanted mirror
movement in case the control pad is accidentally
bumped while driving.
The preferred mirror positions can be stored with
the memory option. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors
and Steering Wheel on page 169.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to
prevent damage when going through car washes
or conned spaces. 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.
When the rear window defogger is turned on, both
outside rear view mirrors are heated to help
clear them of ice, snow, or condensation. See
“Rear Window Defogger” underDual Climate
Control System on page 230.

Remember: ABS does not change the time you
need to get your foot up to the brake pedal
or always decrease stopping distance. If you get
too close to the vehicle in front of you, you will not
have time to apply the brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough
room up ahead to stop, even though you
have ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal
down rmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may
hear the anti-lock pump or motor operate, and feel
the brake pedal pulsate, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With ABS, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you
more than even the very best braking.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a traction control system that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. On a rear-wheel-drive
vehicle, the system operates if it senses that
one or both of the rear wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. On an All-Wheel-Drive
(AWD) vehicle, the system will operate if it
senses that any of the wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system brakes the spinning wheel(s) and/or
reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
This warning light will
come on to let you
know if there’s a
problem with your
traction control system.
SeeTraction Control System (TCS) Warning Light
on page 250. When this warning light is on, the
system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
