Outside  Power  Mirrors 
If your vehicle  is equipped 
with outside  power mirrors, 
the  controls are located 
on  the driver’s  door 
armrest. 
Move  the  selector  switch  located above the control  pad 
to  the  left  or  right  to choose  the  mirror  you  want to 
adjust,  then press  the dots located  on the four-way 
control  pad to adjust  the  mirror. 
The  mirrors  include  ground  illumination lamps (puddle 
lamps)  in the  base  of  the  mirror.  For  more  information on 
these  lamps,  see 
Puddle  Lamps under Exterior  Lamps 
on  page  3-1 
1. 
The mirrors  also include  a  memory  function which  works 
in  conjunction  with  the  memory  seats.  See  “Memory 
Seats”  in the  Index  for  more  information. 
Outside Power  Foldaway  Mirrors 
If your vehicle is equipped  with outside  power  foldaway 
mirrors  the mirrors  can  be folded in toward the  body 
of  the vehicle. 
To  fold 
in the  mirrors,  move the upper  selector switch, 
located  above the mirror control, to  the middle position. 
Press  the right side  of the  mirror control  to fold  the 
mirrors toward  the body 
of the vehicle.  The mirror glass 
on  one  or  both sides  of the vehicle  may automatically 
adjust before  the mirror folds inward.  When the 
mirror glass  or mirror starts moving,  you can  release  the 
mirror control. 
To  return  the mirrors  and the mirror glass to their 
normal position press the left side  of the  mirror control. 
If  the  mirrors are manually  folded,  use the power 
mirror control  to return it to  it’s original position. 
Outside  Automatic  Dimming  Mirror 
The  driver’s outside mirror will adjust  for the glare  of any 
headlamps  behind you. This feature is controlled  by 
the  on  and 
off settings  on the electrochromic mirror.  See 
“Electrochromic Mirror Operation”  under 
Automatic 
Dimming  Rearview  Mirror  with  Onstat?  Compass and 
Temperature Display on page

Outside Curb View  Assist  Mirrors 
If your vehicle has the optional  memory  package 
you  may  have  this feature. 
The  vehicle’s mirrors are capable  of performing the curb 
view  assist mirror function. This feature will  cause  the 
passenger’s  and/or driver’s mirror to tilt  to a preselected 
position  when  the  vehicle is in  REVERSE (R). This 
feature  may  be  useful in allowing  you to view  the curb 
when  you  are parallel parking.  When the vehicle 
is 
shifted out  of REVERSE (R) and  a short delay 
has  occurred,  the passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror will 
return  to  its original position. 
To change  the  preselected tilt  position, adjust  the 
mirrors  to the desired position while the vehicle  is  in 
REVERSE (R). When the vehicle  is shifted  out of 
REVERSE  (R),  this new  position is  saved in memory  as 
the  tilt  position. 
You  may  be  able to enabled/disable  this feature through 
the  Driver Information Center.  See 
Driver Information 
Center  (DIC) on  page 
3-43. 
Outside Convex 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. 
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. 
Outside  Heated  Mirrors 
The outside rearview  mirrors  with this option  have a 
defrost  mode. 
To  turn  on the defrost  feature, press the  rear  window 
defogger button.  See  “Rear  Window  Defogger” 
under 
Dual  Automatic  Climate Control System on 
page 3-18 for further  information.
