seePassenger Sensing System on page 1-61.
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 Manual Mirrors

little of the side of your vehicle, and the area beside your
vehicle from a comfortable driving position. The mirrors
can be folded in to enter narrow areas. Return the mirrors
to the unfolded position before driving.

Outside Power Mirrors
Your vehicle may have this feature. The power mirror
control is located on the driver’s door.
Turn the control knob left or right to select the desired
mirror. Then move the control knob to the left or right or
up or down to position the mirror so that you can see
a little of the outside of the vehicle. After adjusting
the position of the mirrors, turn the knob to the center
off position so that the mirrors do not move.
If the travel position in any direction of the mirror is
reached, it 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
knob in the opposite direction.
The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent
damage when going through an automatic car wash.
To fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle. To return the
mirror to its original position, push outward. Be sure
to return both mirrors to their original unfolded position
before driving.

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 may be able to turn this feature on or off through
the Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 3-58.

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 seat. It also makes things, like other vehicles,
look farther away than they really are.
Outside Heated Mirrors
Your vehicle may have this feature. When you operate
the rear window defogger, the defogger also warms the
heated driver’s and passenger’s outside rearview mirrors
to help clear them of ice, snow and condensation.
