2007 BUICK LUCERNE lane assist

Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it
will also be capable of performing the curb view
assist mirror feature. This feature will allow the
driver’s and passenger’s side 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.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
or the ignition is turned to off, the driver’s and
passenger’s side mirror will return to its original
position.
SeeDIC Vehicle Customization on page 231for
more information.
Outside Convex Mirror
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be
seen 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 Automatic Dimming
Heated Mirror
If you have this feature, the outside driver’s mirror
will adjust for the glare of headlamps behind you.
When you operate the rear window defogger, the
heated driver’s and passenger’s outside rearview
mirrors are warmed to help clear them of ice and
snow. See “Rear Window Defogger” underClimate
Control System on page 182orDual Automatic
Climate Control System on page 186for more
information.
Your vehicle may also have a turn signal indicator
on the mirror. An arrow on the outside rearview
mirror will ash in the direction of the turn or lane
change. SeeTurn and Lane-Change Signals
on page 162for more information.
