you can see the side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle.
4. After adjusting each mirror, turn the control to
the center position so the mirror cannot be
moved.
If you reach the mirror’s end of the travel position
in any direction, the mirror will enter a ratcheting
mode. This action is harmless. It is a warning that
the mirror can go no further. To stop this action,
back the mirror up by moving the control in
the opposite direction.
Fold the mirror in manually before entering a car
wash. To do this, pull the mirror in toward the
vehicle. Push the mirror back out when nished.Outside Curb View Assist Mirror

outside mirror will adjust to a preset tilt position
while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) gear.
Curb view assist may be useful when you are

position when the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) gear. Automatic mirror movement
in either direction will follow a short delay.
You may be able to turn this feature on or off
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).

The wiper speed can be set for a long or short
delay between wipes. This can be very useful in
light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose
the delay time. The closer to the top of the lever,
the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the rst solid band past the delay

windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If the
blades do become worn or damaged, get new
blades or blade inserts.Windshield Washer

Some vehicles have a
cruise light on the
instrument panel cluster
that will come on
when the cruise control
is engaged.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This, of
course, shuts off the cruise control. But you do not
need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise control switch
briey from on to resume/accelerate.
You will go right back up to the previously chosen
speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, the
vehicle keeps going faster until you release
the switch or apply the brakes. So unless you
want to go faster, do not hold the switch at
resume/accelerate.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the button at the end of the
lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the
higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the
desired speed and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch briey to resume/accelerate.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
Press in the set button at the end of the lever until
you reach the desired speed, then release it.
Each time you do this, you will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

messages. Pressing any of the DIC steering wheel
buttons — trip information, fuel information,
