Power Folding Outside Mirrors For Standard And
Trailer Tow — If Equipped
If equipped with power folding mirrors, they can be electri-
cally folded rearward and unfolded into the drive position.
The switch for the power folding mirrors is located between
the power mirror switches L (left) and R (right). Push the
switch once and the mirrors will fold in, push the switch a
second time and the mirrors will return to the normal
driving position.
If the mirror is manually folded after electrically cycled, a
potential extra button push is required to get the mirrors
back to the home position. If the mirror does not electrically
fold, check for ice or dirt build up at the pivot area which can
cause excessive drag. Power Folding Mirror Switch
Resetting The Power Folding Outside Mirrors
You may need to reset the power folding mirrors if the
following occurs:
• The mirrors are accidentally blocked while folding.
• The mirrors are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
• The mirrors come out of the unfolded position.
• The mirrors shake and vibrate at normal driving speeds.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 65
To Reset The Power Folding Mirrors:
1. Using the power folding mirror switch, move the mirrorto its normal driving (home) position.
2. Using the power folding mirror switch, move the mirror to the full retract position (this may require multiple
button pushes). This resets them to their normal position.
NOTE:
• The power fold mirrors are designed to operate while the vehicle is stationary or traveling at moderate speeds. If you
attempt to power fold the mirrors at high speeds they may
not fully open or close. You should slow down to a
moderate speed and complete the operation.
• When pushing the power fold button 10 or more times in one minute the system shuts down for one minute to
protect the motors from over heating. Outside Mirrors Folding Feature
All outside mirrors are designed to be able to be manually
folded both forward and rearward to prevent damage.

All power inverters are designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 400 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter shuts down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet the inverter should reset.Rear Center Console Power Inverter Outlet
NOTE:
400 Watts is the maximum for the inverter, not each outlet. If
three outlets are in use, 400 Watts is shared amongst the
devices plugged in. If equipped, a 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) inverter may
be located inside the ram box of your vehicle. The inverter
can be turned on by the Instrument Panel Power Inverter
switch located to the left of the steering wheel. This inverter
can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 400 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles exceed this power limit, as will most
power tools.
