Memory mirrors (if equipped)
The power side view mirror positions are saved when doing a memory
set and can be recalled along with the vehicle personality features when
a memory position is selected through the remote entry transmitter,
keyless entry keypad or memory switch on the driver’s door. Refer to
Front seatsin theSeating and Safety Restraintschapter.
Heated outside mirrors
(if equipped)
Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.
Do not remove ice from the
mirrors with a scraper or
attempt to readjust the mirror
glass if it is frozen in place.
These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Fold-away mirrors
Fold the side mirrors in carefully
when driving through a narrow
space, like an automatic car wash.
Signal indicator mirrors (if equipped)
When the turn signal is activated, the outer portion of the appropriate
mirror housing will blink. This provides an additional warning to other
drivers that your vehicle is about to turn.
Blind spot mirrors (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with blind spot mirrors or a blind spot
information system. Refer toBlind spot mirrorsorBlind spot
information system (BLIS) with cross traffic alert (CTA)in the
Drivingchapter.

WARNING:Before returning the seatback to its original
position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped
behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original

unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.
REAR SEATS
Rear seat head restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with rear seat outboard head restraints that
look differently than the front head restraints, but function similarly.
WARNING:To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in
and/or operate the vehicle, until the head restraint is placed in its
proper position. The driver should never adjust the head restraint
while the vehicle is in motion.
For details about how to raise, lower and remove/reinstall the rear head
restraints, refer toAdjustable head restraintsat the beginning of this
chapter.
The center rear head restraint is fixed and non-adjustable. The head
restraint consist of a trimmed foam covering over the upper structure of
the seatback.
Folding down the 60/40 rear seats
Note: The head restraints should be placed in the full down position
before folding the seatback down.
Note: Ensure that no objects such as books, purses, or briefcases are on
the floor in front of, on or under the second row seat cushion before
actuating the release lever to cycle the seats to the load-floor position.
WARNING:To prevent possible damage to the seat or safety
belts, ensure that the safety belts are not buckled when moving
the seat to the load floor position.
