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.
{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.
Outside Heated Mirrors
The vehicle may have outside heated mirrors which
helps clear them of condensation, snow, and ice.
The mirror heat is controlled by pressing the outside
mirror button, if the vehicle has a sliding rear window, or
the rear window defogger button. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Automatic Climate Control System
on page 3-24for further information.
The mirror heat will turn off about 10 minutes after the
button is pressed. Press the button again if additional
warming time is needed.

Truck-Camper Loading Information
Notice:Installing a truck-camper to a vehicle that is
equipped with the SS trim package could damage
the vehicle. Do not install a truck-camper on a
vehicle equipped with the SS trim package.
This label is inside the glove box. It will tell you if your
vehicle can carry a slide-in camper, how much of a load
your vehicle can carry, and how to correctly spread
out the load. Also, it will help you match the right slide-in
camper to your vehicle.
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load
of your vehicle is the weight of the camper, plus the
following:
Everything else added to the camper after it left the
factory
Everything in the camper
All the people inside
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It doesn’t
include the weight of the people inside. But, you
can gure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle’s CWR.Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information label in
glove box for dimensions A and B as shown in the
following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load oor for measurement
purposes. The recommended location for the cargo
center of gravity is at point C for the CWR. It is the point
where the mass of a body is concentrated and, if
suspended at that point, would balance the front and rear.
