2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE mirror

Cleaning the Mirror
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or
similar material dampened with glass cleaner.
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror
as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
Outside Power Heated Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors
are located on the
driver’s door.
Move the top selector control to the left or right to
select either the driver’s or passenger’s mirror. To
adjust the direction of the mirror, use the arrows on
the round four-way control. Adjust each outsidemirror so that a little of the vehicle and the area
behind it can be seen while sitting in a comfortable,
driving position. Keep the control in the center
position when not adjusting either outside mirror.
If the vehicle has the memory feature, a preferred
mirror position can be stored. SeeMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 10.
Both mirrors are heated to rid them of snow, ice,
or condensation. They will heat when the rear
window defogger is turned on. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Automatic Climate Control
System on page 179.
Both mirrors can manually be folded inward by
pulling them toward the vehicle. This feature may
be useful when going through a car wash or a
conned space. Push the mirrors away from the
vehicle, to the normal position, before driving.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle has this feature, the driver’s
side outside mirror will adjust for the glare of
headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off setting on the inside mirror.

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 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 look
farther away than they really are.

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
Your rearview mirror has a passenger airbag
status indicator.When the vehicle is started, the passenger airbag
status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the
symbol for on and off, for several seconds as a
system check. Then, after several more seconds,
the status indicator will light either ON or OFF,
or either the on or off symbol, to let you know
the status of the passenger’s frontal airbag
and side impact airbag (if equipped).
Your vehicle has a label on the sun visor that
says, “Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front.” This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great if the airbag deploys.
