Outside Convex Mirror
{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.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver’s seat. It also makes things appear farther
away than they really are.

If the outside mirror control lever is not operating
properly, the control lever on the driver’s side mirror can
be reset by following these steps:
1. Roll down the driver’s door window.
2. Fold the mirror toward the front of the vehicle. Hold
the mirror in position with your left hand.
3. With your right hand move the adjustment lever
handle, located inside the vehicle, in order to
align the T-End of the lever with the lever slide.
4. Fold the mirror back to the original position in order to
engage the T-End of the lever with the lever slide.
5. Make sure the mirror housing is fully seated to
its base.OnStar®System
