Buick 2004 Automobile User Manual


 
Outside Convex Mirror
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see
more from the driver’s seat.
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Outside Heated Mirrors
Your vehicle may have this feature.
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver’s and passenger’s
outside rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice,
snow and condensation.
Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
with Curb View Assist
The driver’s and/or passenger’s outside mirror will
adjust to a preset tilt position while the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R) gear. Curb view assist may be useful
when you are parallel parking. The mirror(s) will return
to normal position when the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) gear. Automatic mirror movement
in either direction will follow a short delay.
To change the tilt position, adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is in REVERSE (R) gear with the engine running,
the parking brake engaged and the brake pedal
pressed. The new position will be saved into memory
once the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R).
You may be able to enable/disable this feature
through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Mirror
Curb View Assist” under DIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-43.
