To program each front window, follow these steps:1. With the ignition in ACC/ACCESSORY, ON/RUN, or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is
active, close all doors.
2. Press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully open.
3. Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed.
4. Continue holding the switch up for approximately two seconds after the window is completely closed.
The window is now reprogrammed. Repeat the process
for the other windows.

controls to reset them to their normal position. A noise
may be heard during the resetting of the power
foldaway mirrors. This sound is normal after a manual
folding operation.

The vehicle may have a turn signal indicator lamp that
is built into the mirror. The turn signal lamp flashes with
the use of the vehicle's turn signal and hazard flashers.

If the vehicle has this feature, the driver side mirror
adjusts for the glare of headlamps behind you. This
feature is controlled by the on and off settings on the
automatic dimming rearview mirror.

system, see Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)on
page 3‑42for more information.
Park Tilt Mirrors
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it is
capable of performing the park tilt mirror feature. This
feature allows the driver and passenger side mirror to
tilt to a factory programmed position when the vehicle is
in R (Reverse). This feature may be useful in allowing
you to view the curb when you are parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse) and
either a five-second delay has occurred, or the ignition
is turned to LOCK/OFF, the driver and passenger side
mirror will return to its original position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Vehicle
