Power Remote Control Mirror
The controls on the far left
of the instrument panel
control both outside
rearview mirrors. Move the
center switch
to the left to
select the driver’s side
rearview mirror, or to the
right to select the
passenger’s side rearview mirror. Then
press the arrows to adjust each mirror
so that you
can just see the side of your vehicle when you are sitting
in
a comfortable driving position.
To lock the controls, leave
the selector switch in the
middle position.
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the driver’s and passenger’s outside
rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice and snow.
Parallel Park Assist Mirror
The passenger’s outside rearview mirror also includes a
tilt-down feature that operates when the shift lever is in
reverse. This feature assists
the driver with improved
rear obstacle detection.
Move the power remote control mirror switch to the
left
(L) or center position to enable this feature. Move
the switch to the right (R) to turn this feature off.

Convex Outside 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.
I
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.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirror
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also
warms the heated driver’s and passenger’s outside
rearview mirrors to help clear them
of ice and snow.

again to reset the system.
If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Aurora needs
service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock
brakes.
If the regular brake system warning light is also
on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a
problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System
Warning Light” earlier
in this section.

If it stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, there
may be a problem with your traction control system
and
your vehicle may need service. When this warning light
is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
