Telescoping Mirrors (If Equipped)
This feature lets you extend the mirror
about
3 in (75 mm). It is useful when
towing a trailer. You can manually pull out
or push in the mirrors to the desired
position. PowerScope
™ Power Telescoping
Mirrors
(If Equipped)
Note: Do not stop the mirrors midway
through their movement. Wait until the
mirrors stop moving and press the control
again.
Note: The left-hand and right-hand mirrors
move at different rates. For example, one
mirror may stop when the other one
continues to move. This is normal.
Auto-Folding Mirrors
The exterior mirrors automatically fold in
toward the glass after you place the
transmission into park (P), switch off the
vehicle, open and close the driver-side door
and lock the vehicle. The exterior mirrors
automatically unfold and return to their
driving position after you unlock the
vehicle. You can switch this feature on and
off through the information display.
See
General Information (page 112). Power-Folding Mirrors
You can fold the mirrors on demand by
pressing the power-folding mirror control
on the door. Press the control again to
unfold the mirrors.
Note:
If you use the power-folding control
to fold the mirrors on demand and the auto
fold feature is switched on through the
information display, you must use the
power-folding control again to unfold them.
Power Telescoping Mirrors
This feature lets you position both mirrors
at the same time.

To adjust your mirrors, press the
adjustment control to position the mirrors.
Note: Moving the mirrors 10 or more times
within one minute, or repeated folding,
unfolding and telescoping of the mirrors
when holding the control down during full
travel, may disable the system to protect
the 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.
Loose Mirror
If your power-folding mirrors are manually
folded, they may not work properly even
after you re-position them. You need to
reset them if:
• The mirrors vibrate when you drive.
• The mirrors feel loose.
• The mirrors do not stay in the folded or
unfolded position.
• One of the mirrors is not in its normal
driving position. To reset the power-fold feature, use the
power-folding mirror control to fold and
unfold the mirrors. You may hear a loud
noise as you reset the power-folding
mirrors. This sound is normal. Repeat this
process as needed each time the mirrors
are manually folded.
Heated Exterior Mirrors (If Equipped)
See
Heated Exterior Mirrors (page 147).
Memory Mirrors
(If Equipped)
You can save and recall the mirror
positions through the memory function.
See
Memory Function (page 156).
Direction Indicator Mirrors (If Equipped)
When the vehicle is running, the
forward-facing portion of the appropriate
mirror housing blinks when you switch on
the direction indicator.
Puddle Lamps
(If Equipped)
The lamps on the bottom part of the mirror
housing light when you use your
transmitter to unlock the doors or when
you open a door.
Clearance Lamps
(If Equipped)
The lower, outer part of the mirror housings
light when you switch the headlamps or
parking lamps on.
Spot Lamps
(If Equipped)
The area lights are on the forward-facing
portion of the mirror housing. You can
switch them on and off by using the
controls located on the instrument panel.
