The spotter mirror (if equipped) is not heated.
Fold-away mirrors
The mirrors can be manually folded forward or backwards for narrow
spaces like driving through an automatic car wash or backing out of a
garage with the trailer tow mirror.
The telescoping feature (if equipped) allows the mirror to extend
approximately three inches (76 mm). This feature is especially useful to
the driver when towing a trailer.
SPEED CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

Press CRUISE RPM. If the vehicle is
moving, speed control will be
enabled; if the vehicle is stationary,

To turn speed control off
Press OFF or turn off the ignition.
Once speed control is switched off,
the previously programmed engine
RPM will be erased.
Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that
are winding, slippery, or unpaved.
To set a speed
Press SET +. If the vehicle is
moving, this will set the vehicle
speed. If the vehicle is stationary,
this will set the vehicle idle RPM.
If you drive up or down a steep hill, your vehicle speed may vary
momentarily slower or faster than the set speed; this is normal.
Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle speed if it increases above the
set speed on a downhill. If your vehicle speed is faster than the set
speed while driving on a downhill, you may want to shift to the next
lower gear or apply the brakes to reduce your vehicle speed.
If the vehicle speed falls below 30 mph (48 km/h) or engine RPM falls
below 1,000 RPM, your speed control will disengage; this is normal.
Pressing RESUME - will re-engage it.
Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that
are winding, slippery, or unpaved.
