Park Tilt Mirrors
This feature assists the driver by improving rear
obstacle detection and is useful in viewing the curb
when parallel parking.
The passenger and/or driver mirror tilts to a preselected
position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This feature
lets the driver view the curb when parallel parking.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror switch may be used. The mirror then returns
to this new position when the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse).
When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), and a
five-second delay has occurred, the mirror will return to
its original position. The delay prevents movement of
the mirror if multiple gear transitions R (Reverse) to
D (Drive) to R (Reverse) occur during a parallel parking
maneuver.
If the outside mirror selector switch is in the middle
position, neither outside mirror will move.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
If the vehicle has the Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
system, see Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
on
page 344

Outside Convex Mirror
{
WARNING:
A convex mirror can make things, like other
vehicles, look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could
hit a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before changing
lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
For vehicles with this feature:
< (Rear Window Defogger): Press to heat the
mirrors. See Rear Window Defogger under Dual
Climate Control System
