five second delay has occurred, the passenger mirror
will return to its original position. If further adjustment
is needed after the mirror is tilted, the mirror switch may
be used. The mirror then returns to its original position.

vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used
to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors
to determine the proper system response. If the
controller detects
a problem within the system, the
Driver Information Center
(DIC) will display a
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message. If this message
appears, have your vehicle serviced at your dealership.
