Section 2 Features and Controls

Outside Power Foldaway Mirrors
If your vehicle is equipped
with this feature, the
controls are located on the
driver’s door armrest.
Move the upper selector switch to the left or right to
choose the mirror you want to adjust; then press
the dots located on the four-way control pad to adjust
the mirror.
The mirrors may also include a memory function which
works together with the memory seats. SeeMemory
Seat on page 2-61for more information.
To fold or unfold the mirrors, move the selector switch,
located above the mirror control, to the middle
position. The mirror control will illuminate. Press the
right or left side of the mirror control to fold or unfold the
mirrors. You may notice the mirror glass adjust as the
mirrors fold in; this is normal. The mirror glass will
reposition itself once the mirrors are unfolded.If the mirrors are accidentally folded/unfolded manually,
they may shake or utter at normal driving speeds
and may not stay in the unfolded position. If this
happens, you will need to reset the mirrors. See
“Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors” next.
Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors
You will need to reset the power foldaway mirrors if the
following occurs:
They are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded position.
The mirrors shake and utter at normal driving
speeds.
To reset the power foldaway mirrors, fold and unfold
them at least three times using the mirror controls.
This will reset them to their normal position.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the driver’s
outside mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps
behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and off
settings found on the electrochromic mirror.
2-48

Outside Curb View Assist Mirrors
If the vehicle has the memory package, the outside
mirrors are able to perform the curb view assist mirror
function. This feature will cause the passenger’s
and/or driver’s mirror to tilt to a preselected position
when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature may
be useful in allowing the driver to view the curb when
parallel parking. When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) and a short delay has occurred,
the passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror will return to its
original position.
To change the preselected tilt position, adjust the
mirrors to the desired position while the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R), this new position is saved in memory
as the tilt position.
This feature can be turned on or off through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-51for more information.
Outside Convex Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more from
the driver’s seat.
{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.
Outside Heated Mirrors
The vehicle may have outside heated mirrors which
help clear them of condensation, snow, and ice.
When the rear window defogger button is pressed, the
heated mirrors are also turned on. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Automatic Climate Control System
on page 3-25orDual Climate Control System on
page 3-22for more information.

Sunroof
Your vehicle may be equipped with a power sliding
sunroof. To open or close your sunroof, the ignition
needs to be on or RAP needs to be active. See
“Retained Accessory Power” underIgnition Positions
on page 2-19.
Press and release the rear side of the button located in
the front overhead console to express-open the glass
panel and sunshade. To stop the express-open motion,
press the front or rear of the button again. To close
the glass panel, press and hold the front of the button.
The glass will not be fully seated unless the button
is held until the glass stops moving. With the sunroof
closed, press the forward side of the button to open the
sunroof to the vent position.
The sunroof is also equipped with a sunshade which
you can pull forward to block sun rays.If a hand, arm, or other object is blocking the sunroof
glass panel as it is closing, the glass panel will stop
at the obstruction. After the obstruction is removed, the
glass panel can be closed or opened.
Use care not to leave the sunroof open for long periods
of time as debris may collect in the tracks.
If the battery has been recharged, disconnected or is
not working, you may need to reprogram the sunroof. To
do this, start the vehicle and press the forward side of
the sunroof button until the glass panel moves to a fully
closed position. Release, and press again to move to
the vent position, which occurs when the sunroof is fully
tilted upward and the button is held for an additional
twenty seconds. This will reset the memory and enable
the sunroof to function properly.
