To adjust a mirror, move the arrow control in the
direction you want that mirror to go. Leave the L/R
switch in the center position to disable mirror movement
by the arrow control. Adjust each outside mirror so that
your vehicle is barely visible in the mirror.
If your vehicle is equipped with the memory seat and
mirrors feature, these mirror positions, along with the
driver's seat position can be stored in memory.
See ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in the Index.
Parallel Park Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If you have the memory seat and mirrors feature,
the passenger's outside rearview mirror also includes a
tilt
-down feature that operates when the shift lever is in
REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R), the passenger's mirror will return to its
original position after a five
-second delay. This delay
prevents movement of the mirror if multiple gear
transitions (REVERSE (R) to DRIVE (D) to
REVERSE (R)) occur during a parallel parking
maneuver. This feature can be programmed on or off
through the DIC personalization programming menu.
See ªDIC Personalization Programmingº in the Index
for programming instructions. Vehicles are delivered
with 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.
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.
Heated Outside Mirror
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver's and passenger's outside
mirrors to help clear them of ice and snow.

Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in the
ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not know
they are there. As an example, many concrete roads
have metal reinforcements inside.
Also, if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect
accuracy and could decalibrate the compass.
Driver Identifier DIC Display
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own preferred display mode. The
personalization settings displayed on the DIC are
determined by the transmitter used to enter the vehicle.
After the unlock button of a remote keyless entry
transmitter is pressed and the ignition is in RUN, the
DIC will display the identified driver. The settings can
also be changed by briefly pressing one of the
MEMORY buttons located on the driver's door.
The DIC is used to program information for
DRIVER #1 and DRIVER #2. The DIC will identify
a person as UNKNOWN DRIVER if they are neither
DRIVER #1 nor DRIVER #2.
DIC Personalization Programming
The DIC can be used to program the following
personalization features available with your vehicle:

Automatic Door Locks

Window Lockout

Security Feedback

Delayed Locking

Perimeter Lighting

Memory Seats

Parallel Park Assist Mirror (Tilt Mirror)

Driver ID
The DIC is used to program the personal choices of
two drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER #1
and DRIVER #2. You will let the DIC know which
driver you are by using your remote keyless entry
transmitter or by pressing the appropriate memory seat
control button located on the driver's door or choosing
the driver with the DIC. Each remote keyless entry
transmitter was preprogrammed to belong to
DRIVER #1 or DRIVER #2. Each transmitter
may be programmed differently for each driver.

Parallel Park Assist (If Equipped)
The parallel park assist mirror, which tips the passenger
mirror while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R), can be
made active or inactive through the DIC. When TILT
MIRROR
- OFF/ON appears on the display, use the
RESET button to toggle the arrow between OFF and
ON. When you have made your choice, press the
SELECT button to record your selection. For more
information on this feature, see ªMirrorsº in the Index.
Driver ID
This feature displays the DRIVER ID, as identified by
the DIC. If this feature is ON, the DRIVER ID will be
displayed every time the ignition is turned on. If the
DRIVER ID is OFF, the DRIVER ID can be displayed
by pressing either a button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a memory seat button. Vehicles are
delivered with this feature ON.
DIC Warnings and Messages
Other messages or warnings may appear in the DIC
display. For Canadian drivers, in addition to the DIC
message your DIC will display EXP with a number after
it which reflects the following messages:

See ªTraction Control System Warning Lightº in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But you can turn the
traction control system off if you ever need to.
(You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow. See ªRocking Your
Vehicleº in the Index.)
To turn the system off,
press the TRACTION
CONTROL button located
on the console next to the
gear shift selector.The traction control system warning light in the
instrument cluster will come on and stay on. If the
system is limiting wheel spin when you press the button,
the warning light will come on
-- but the system won't
turn off right away. It will wait until there's no longer a
current need to limit wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing
the button again. The traction control system warning
light should go off.
The switch indicator light should go back on.
Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine
stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but
it will take much more effort.
Magnetic-Speed Variable Assist (Option)
Your vehicle may have this optional steering system that
continuously adjusts the effort you feel when steering at
all vehicle speeds. It provides ease when parking, yet a
firm, solid feel at highway speeds.
