Vehicles with Auto-fold
The exterior mirrors fold when you lock
your vehicle and unfold when you unlock
your vehicle.
For tight parking conditions,
press the control to fold the
mirrors.
Press the control again to unfold the
mirrors.
If you press the control to fold in the
mirrors with auto-fold on, the mirrors do
not unfold when you unlock your vehicle.
You can switch auto-fold on or off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 92).
Note: The power folding mirrors operate
with the ignition on, and for several minutes
after you switch the ignition off.
Note: If you fold and unfold the mirrors
several times within one minute, the power
fold function may turn off to protect the
motors from overheating.

normal when the bright light from behind
is no longer present or if you shift into
reverse (R).
Do not block the sensors on the front and
back of the mirror.
Note: A rear center passenger or raised rear
center head restraint could prevent light

Do not let children play
with the sun shade or leave them
unattended in the vehicle. They may
seriously hurt themselves. WARNING:
When closing the sun
shade, you should verify that it is free of

sunshade.
The control is located in the overhead
console.
The sun shade has a one-touch open and
close feature. To stop motion during
one-touch operation, press the control a
second time.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Notice to Utility Vehicle, Van and
Truck Owners
WARNING: Utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate than other
types of vehicles. To reduce the risk of
serious injury or death from a rollover or
other crash you must avoid sharp turns and
abrupt maneuvers, drive at safe speeds for
the conditions, keep tires properly inflated,
never overload or improperly load your
vehicle, and make sure every passenger is
properly restrained. WARNING:
In a rollover crash, an
unbelted person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
All occupants must wear seat belts.
Children and infants must use appropriate
restraints to minimize the risk of injury or
ejection. Utility vehicles and trucks handle
differently than passenger cars in the
various driving conditions that are
encountered on streets, highways and
off-road. Utility vehicles and trucks are not
designed for cornering at speeds as high
as passenger cars any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform
satisfactorily under off-road conditions. How Your Vehicle Differs from
Other Vehicles
Sport-utility vehicles, vans and trucks can
differ from some other vehicles in a few
noticeable ways. Your vehicle may be:
