can be used if the window movement is restricted in some way, for
example, if there is ice on the window or seals.
Accessory delay
With accessory delay, the radio, Family Entertainment DVD System (if
equipped), power windows, and moonroof (if equipped) operate for up
to ten minutes after the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the
OFF position or until one of the front doors are opened.

(darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the
mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically
adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the inside rear view mirror
since this may impair proper mirror performance.
