Telescoping trailer tow mirrors (if equipped)
The telescoping feature allows the
mirror to extend approximately 3.15
inches (80 mm). This feature is
especially useful to the driver when
towing a trailer. Pull the mirrors
inward carefully when driving
through a narrow space.
Fold-away mirrors
Fold the side mirrors in carefully
before driving through a narrow
space, like an automatic car wash.
If equipped with powerfold mirrors,
you can fold the side mirrors using
the power mirror switch.
1. Rotate the switch to the
center/neutral position.
2. Momentarily pull the switch
rearward to auto fold in.
3. Momentarily pull the switch
rearward again to fold back to
design position.
The powerfold mirrors may be moved inward/outward manually, however,
if a mirror is moved manually, it will need to be reset. To reset: with the
switch in the center position, momentarily pull the switch rearward to
fold the mirrors in. An audible
click
will be heard indicating
re-synchronization. If the click is not heard, use the switch to fold the
mirrors out, then in, until the click is heard. After that, the mirrors will
operate to their normal positions until they are again moved manually.
Note:Ten or more switch activations within 1 minute, or repeated
folding/unfolding of the mirrors while holding the switch rearward during
the full travel may cause the system to disable the fold/unfold function to
protect motors from overheating. Should this occur, wait approximately 3
minutes for the system to reset and function to return to normal.

moving.
Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to avoid injuring
people in a collision or sudden stop.

Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to slide under the
seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal injuries in the
event of a collision.
Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat back reclined
too far can take off weight from the seat cushion and affect the
decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or
death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seatback, with your
feet on the floor.
