• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.

Note: Ten or more switch activations within one minute, or repeated
fold/unfolding of the mirrors while holding the switch rearward during the
full travel may cause the system to disable the fold/unfold function to
protect the motors from overheating. Should this occur, wait approximately
3 1
2
minutes for the system to reset and function to return to normal.
Note: The power-fold mirrors are designed to operate while the vehicle
is stationary or traveling at moderate speeds. If you attempt to
power-fold the mirrors at high speeds, they may not fully fold
forward/rearward - slow down and power-fold or manually fold the
mirrors in order to complete the fold operation.
Note: If the power fold/telescope mirror glass appears loose or vibrates
when driving, it is possible that the mirrors have been manually folded or
telescoped. To minimize the vibration, ensure that the mirrors are
electronically folded and telescoped in/out with the switches on the door
trim panel. If the power fold mirrors are out of sync, electronically
power-fold the mirrors to re-sync the motors. This will cause a loud “click”
and the mirrors will jerk during re-synchronization. This is normal.
Telescoping mirrors (if equipped)
The telescoping feature allows the
mirror to extend approximately
2.75 inches (70 mm). This feature is
especially useful to the driver when
towing a trailer. Mirrors can be
manually pulled out or pushed in to
the desired telescopic position.
If equipped with PowerScope™
power telescoping mirrors, you can
simultaneously position both mirrors
using the power telescope switch
found on the door trim panel.
• To telescope the mirrors
outboard, press and hold the left
side of the power telescope switch until the mirrors reach their
desired position. When the end of travel is reached, it is normal to
hear the power telescoping motors running as long as you continue to
hold the switch.Driver Controls
