Cleaning the Mirror
Use a paper towel or similar material dampened

directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Outside Manual Mirrors
Adjust your outside mirrors so you can just see
the side of your vehicle and have a clear view of
objects behind you. The mirrors can be folded
in to enter narrow areas.
The use of hood-mounted air deectors and
add-on convex mirror attachments may adversely
affect mirror performance.
174

Outside Trailer-Tow Mirrors
If your vehicle has trailer towing type mirrors, they
can be adjusted so you can have a clear view
of the objects behind you. Manually pull out
the mirror head to extend it for better visibility
when towing a trailer.These mirrors can be manually folded forward or
rearward. The lower portion of the mirror is
convex. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so
you can see more from the driver’s seat. The
convex mirror can be adjusted manually to the
driver’s preferred position for better vision.
Your 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.
Only the upper glass of the mirror is heated.
The lower convex part of the mirror is not heated.
Your mirror may also have a turn signal arrow
that will ash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
175

equipped with outside
power mirrors, the
controls are located on
the driver’s door
armrest.

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:
The mirrors are accidentally obstructed while
folding.
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 one time using the mirror controls.
This will reset them to their normal position.
This mirror has the following features.

The driver’s outside mirror will adjust for the glare
of the headlamps behind you. SeeAutomatic
Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar
®, Compass
and Temperature Display on page 169.
Curb View Assist
If your vehicle has the memory package, the
outside mirrors are able to perform the curb view
assist mirror function. This feature may be
useful in allowing the driver to view the curb when
parallel parking. 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).
The passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror will return
to its original position when the vehicle is
shifted out of REVERSE (R), or the ignition is
turned off or to LOCK.
This feature can be turned on or off through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDriver
Information Center (DIC) on page 267.

Heated Mirrors
The button to turn the heated mirrors on or off is
located on the climate control panel. Press
this button to warm the driver’s and passenger’s
outside rearview mirrors to help clear them of
ice, snow, and condensation.
See “Rear Window Defogger” underDual
Automatic Climate Control System on page 238
for more information.
Convex Mirror
{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.
The passenger’s side mirror may have convex
glass. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more
can be seen from the driver’s seat.
Your vehicle may also have a turn signal indicator
on the mirror. An arrow on the mirror will ash
in the direction of the turn or lane change.
