Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If the vehicle has this feature, it can be helpful
when parallel parking. The passenger’s outside
rearview mirror will tilt towards the curb when the
vehicle is shifted into REVERSE (R) and return
to its previous position when the vehicle is shifted
out of REVERSE (R). If further adjustment is
needed, the power mirror controls can be used.
SeeOutside Power Mirror on page 142. Also see
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 240for
information on how to turn this feature on and off.
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.
Outside Heated Mirrors
If the vehicle has this feature, the outside rearview
mirrors are heated when the rear window
defogger is turned on. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underClimate Control System on
page 200,Dual Climate Control System on
page 203,orDual Automatic Climate Control
System on page 206.

To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to
the instrument panel outlets, then directs the
remaining air to the oor outlets. Cooler air
is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to
the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets. Use this mode to send air to
the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area under the
front seats free of objects that could obstruct
airow to the rear of the vehicle.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. Turn the knob counterclockwise until it
stops to turn off the fan. The fan must be turned
on for the air conditioning compressor to operate.
@(Recirculation):This mode keeps outside air
from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from entering your
vehicle or help heat or cool the air inside your
vehicle more quickly. Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on or off. When the button
is pressed, an indicator light will come on.
The air-conditioning compressor also comes on.
The recirculation mode can be used with vent and
bi-level modes, but it cannot be used with oor,
defog, defrost or outside air modes.
Temperature Control:Use the driver’s and
passenger’s temperature levers to increase or
decrease the air temperature inside your vehicle.
uA/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button
to turn the air-conditioning system on or off. When
A/C is pressed, an indicator light in the button
will come on to let you know that air conditioning
is activated.
You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air-conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal.
The system is designed to make adjustments to
help with fuel economy while still maintaining
the selected temperature.
