Power Remote Control Mirror (Heated)
This feature is located on
the driver's door armrest.
Move the L/R select switch
located under the power
mirror control to choose the
left or right mirror.
To adjust the mirror, move the arrow control in the
direction you want the mirror to go. Leave the L/R select
switch in the center position to disable mirror movement.
This is helpful in preventing unwanted mirror movement
in case the control is accidentally bumped while driving.
Adjust each outside mirror so the vehicle is barely
visible in the mirror to maximize your side view.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
and parallel parking feature if you have the optional
memory package. For more information, see ªMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheelº and ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº in the
Index. For information on the heated outside mirrors,
see ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
The driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by
the on and off settings on the electrochromic mirror.
See ªElectrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror with
Compassº in the Index.
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.
This mirror does not have a dimming feature.
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.

2-57
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors,
it will also be equipped with the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will cause the passenger's mirror to
tilt when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature is
especially useful in allowing you to view the curb when
you are parallel parking. If further adjustment is needed
after the mirror is tilted, the power mirror controls may
be used to adjust the mirror. If the mirror control is
pressed while the passenger's mirror is tilted, the mirror
will move in that direction, but will return to its original
position once the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and a five
-second delay has occurred.
To program the feature, see ªMirror to Curb in Reverseº
in the Index.

well as on the passenger's and driver's front seatbacks.

compartment for CDs or tapes, a dual cupholder that
unfolds, a coinholder, an optional phone and an armrest.
The cupholder can be opened by pressing on the surface
panel located in front of the armrest and unfolding it.
