Power-Folding Mirrors (If Equipped)
Note:Activating the mirrors 10 or more times within one minute, or
repeated folding and unfolding of the mirrors while holding the control
down during full travel, may disable the system to protect motors from
overheating. Wait approximately three minutes with the vehicle running,
and up to 10 minutes with the vehicle off, for the system to reset and for
function to return to normal.

to be re-synchronized. Pull and hold the control to fold the mirrors in
until movement stops. A click will be heard indicating re-synchronization.
If the click is not heard, use the control to fold the mirrors all the way
out, then in again. Once the click is heard the mirrors will operate

function. SeeMemory functionin theSeatschapter.
