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 mirrors perform the following
steps:
1. By hand, fold or retract both mirrors.
2. Using the power folding/power telescoping mirror control switch,
operate the mirrors until you hear an
audible click.
3. Operate the power folding or power telescoping mirrors an additional 3 to
4 times to synchronize the mirrors.
EXTENDING THE EXTERIOR
MIRRORS
This optional 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 various positions.
Power Telescoping Mirrors
(If
Equipped)
This feature lets you position both mirrors
at the same time. A. Extend.
B. Retract.
To adjust your mirrors, make sure you
switch your vehicle on, with the ignition in
accessory mode or the engine running.
1. Press and release the control switch.
2. Press the adjustment control to
position the mirrors.
3. Press the left arrow to extend the mirrors out. Press the right arrow to
retract the mirrors in.
Note: Moving the mirrors 10 or more times
within one minute, or repeated folding and
unfolding of the mirrors when holding the
control down during full travel, could 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.
