Move the upper selector switch 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

located above the mirror control, to the middle

Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors
You will need to reset the power foldaway mirrors if the
following occurs:
They are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded position.
The mirrors shake and utter at normal
driving speeds.
To reset the power foldaway mirrors, fold and unfold
them at least three times using the mirror controls.
This will reset them to their normal position.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the
driver’s outside mirror will adjust for the glare of
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by the
on and off settings found on the electrochromic
mirror. SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with
Compass and Temperature Display on page 2-58.
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 enable/disable this feature through
the Driver Information Center. SeeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-53.
