Both mirrors have a heated feature to rid them of snow,
ice, or condensation. They will heat when the rear
window defogger is turned on. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Climate Control System on
page 3-40. If the vehicle has the memory option, the
preferred mirror position can be stored. SeeMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-54.
Both mirrors can be manually folded inward by pulling
them toward the vehicle. This feature may be useful
when going through a car wash or a conned space.
Push the mirrors away from the vehicle, to the normal
position, before driving.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
The driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare of
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by the
on and off settings on the inside automatic dimming
rearview mirror. SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview
Mirror with OnStar
®on page 2-34.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
The passenger’s side mirror is also capable of
performing the curb view assist feature. This feature will
cause the mirror to tilt to a factory programmed
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.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror switch may be used. The mirror will then
return to this new position when the vehicle is shifted
into REVERSE (R).
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and
a ve-second delay has occurred, the passenger’s side
mirror will return to its original position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Park Assist” under
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73for more
