Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If the vehicle has this feature, the driver’s outside mirror
adjusts for the glare of the headlamps behind you.
SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass
and Temperature Display on page 2-45.
Park Tilt Mirrors
The vehicle’s outside mirrors can also perform a park tilt
function. This causes the passenger’s and/or driver’s
mirror to tilt to a preselected position when the vehicle is
in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in
viewing the curb when parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
short delay has occurred, the passenger’s and/or
driver’s mirror will return to its original position.
To change the preselected tilt position, adjust the
mirrors to the desired position while the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R), this new position is saved in memory as
the tilt position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center. SeeDIC Vehicle Customization
(With DIC Buttons) on page 3-63for more information.
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
The vehicle may have outside heated mirrors which
help clear them of condensation, snow, and ice.
When the rear window defogger button is pressed, the
heated mirrors are also turned on. See “Rear Window
Defogger” underDual Automatic Climate Control System
on page 3-22for more information.

Object Detection Systems
Rear Vision Camera
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear vision camera
system. Read this entire section before using the
camera system.
The rear vision camera system is designed to help
the driver when backing up by displaying a view of the
area behind the vehicle. When the driver shifts the
vehicle into REVERSE (R), the video screen will
automatically slide out from the rear view mirror.
Once the driver shifts out of REVERSE (R), the video
screen will slide back into the rear view mirror after
a delay.
If your vehicle does not have a rearview mirror slide-out
video screen, your vehicle may have a navigation
radio system. See the Navigation System manual for
more information on the rear vision camera display
video screen.
Turning the Rear Vision Camera System
On or Off
To turn off the rear vision camera system, do the
following:
1. Shift into (P) PARK.
2. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.
3. Press the right button on the inside rear view mirror
briey; the right green light indicator will turn off.
The rear camera vision display is now disabled.
To turn on the rear camera vision feature again, press

Cleaning the Camera Screen
To manually slide out the rear camera screen for
cleaning, do the following:
1. Shift into (P) PARK.
2. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.
3. Press and hold the right button on the inside rear
view mirror for ve seconds. The display will slide out
from the mirror for 30 seconds; the right green LED
indicator will remain illuminated. The camera screen
will not be on when it slides out of the mirror.
4. If additional time is required for cleaning,
repeat step 3.
To resume normal operation, press the right button
momentarily while the rear camera screen is out or wait
30 seconds for screen to slide back into the mirror.
For more information on the automatic dimming,
compass, and temperature features of the mirror,
seeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with
Compass and Temperature Display on page 2-45.{CAUTION:
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC) system does
not replace driver vision. RVC does not:
Detect objects that are outside the
camera’s eld of view, below the bumper,
or underneath the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or pets.
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at
the rear vision camera screen, or use the
screen during longer, higher speed backing
maneuvers or where there could be
cross-traffic. Your judged distances using the
screen will differ from actual distances.
So if you do not use proper care before
backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child,
pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in
vehicle damage, injury, or death. Even though
the vehicle has the RVC system, always check
carefully before backing up by checking
behind and around your vehicle.

Rear Vision Camera Location
The image is provided by the camera located on the
rear bumper.
The camera uses a special lens. The distance of the
image that appears on the screen differs from the actual
distance. The area displayed by the camera is limited.
The camera does not display objects which are close
to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper.
The spare tire and carrier extends rearward of the rear
bumper. The area displayed on the screen may vary
according to vehicle orientation or road conditions.
The following illustration shows the eld of view that
the camera provides.
2-52

Notice:The spare tire extends farther away from
rear of the vehicle than the trailer hitch shown
on rear vision camera display. Your spare tire could
hit an object even though there appears to be
enough distance on the display between the trailer
hitch and objects behind you causing vehicle or
property damage. Do not use this system to judge
the distance between the spare tire and objects
behind you.
When the System Does Not Seem To
Work Properly
The rear vision camera system may not work properly
or display a clear image in the following situations:
In the dark.
When the sun or the beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lens.
If ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up on the
camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with water, and
wipe it with a soft cloth.
If the back of the vehicle is in an accident, the
position and mounting angle of the camera may
change or the camera may be affected. Be sure to
have the camera and its position and mounting angle
checked at your dealer.
Extreme high or low temperatures or extreme
temperature changes can affect the image displayed.

Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
LQ(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of
the multifunction lever. Push the paddle to spray
washer uid on the windshield. The wipers will clear
the window and then either stop or return to the
preset speed.
_(Heated Washer Fluid):If your vehicle has the
heated windshield washer uid system, it is used
to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from your
windshield.To activate Automatic mode for de-icing, press the
heated washer button located to the left of the
steering wheel below the instrument panel brightness
control knob. Pushing the heated washer uid button
activates the heated windshield washer uid system.
This activation will initiate four heated wash/wipe cycles.
The rst heated wash/wipe cycle may take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on outside temperature.
After the rst wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to
20 seconds for each of the remaining cycles. The heated
windshield washer uid system may be turned off at
any time by pushing the button again prior to the
completion of 4 wash/wipe cycles.
When the heated windshield washer uid system is
activated under certain outside temperature conditions,
steam may ow out of the washer nozzles for a short
period of time before washer uid is sprayed. This is
a normal condition. A message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the washer
uid is low. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-56.

Climate Controls
Dual Automatic Climate Control
System
The heating, cooling, and ventilation in your vehicle
can be controlled with this system. Your vehicle also
has a ow-through ventilation system described later
in this section.
Different climate control settings can be selected for
the driver and passengers.
Driver’s Side Temperature Control
The driver’s side temperature buttons are used to
adjust the temperature of the air coming through the
system on the driver’s side. The temperature can
be adjusted even if the system is turned off. This is
possible since outside air will always ow through
the system as the vehicle is moving forward unless
it is set to recirculation mode. See “Recirculation”
later in this section.
Press the + or−buttons to increase or decrease
the cabin temperature. The driver side temperature
display will show the temperature setting decreasing
or increasing.
