Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
The passenger’s 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 parallel parking. The
mirror will return to normal position when
the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) gear.
Automatic mirror movement in either direction
will follow a short delay.
You can turn this feature on or off through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 205.
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 or left lane, you could hit a
vehicle. Check your inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger’s outside mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more can
be seen from the driver’s seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, a
defogger also warms the heated driver’s and
passenger’s outside rearview mirrors to help clear
them of ice, snow and condensation.

Diode (LED) above the Universal Home Remote
System buttons, follow the instructions below.

systems, and home lighting.Do not use the this system with any garage door
opener that does not have the stop and reverse
feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.

future programming. You only need the original
remote control transmitter for xed code
programming. It is also recommended that upon
the sale or lease termination of the vehicle,
the programmed buttons should be erased for
