Parking position
The passenger-side exterior mirror can be adjusted and
programmed to assist the driver during parking
maneuvers (e.g. to observe the curb or other objects
close to the vehicle).
With electronic key in steering lock position 2, and the
exterior rear view mirror switch in the passenger-side
position, the passenger-side mirror will be turned
downward when placing the gear selector lever in “R”
Reverse.
The mirror position can now be adjusted as desired.
At speeds above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), upon
shifting gear selector lever from “R” Reverse, or upon
pressing the driver’s side mirror button, the passenger-
side mirror will return to its previous position.
One passenger-side mirror position can be stored in
memory. To do so:
1. Turn electronic key to steering lock position 2.
The vehicle must be stationary.
2. Select passenger-side mirror and adjust the mirror
to view the curb.
3. Press green memory button located in switch cluster
for driver seat, see page 49.
4. Within 3 seconds pull the mirror toggle switch
rearward. The mirror should not move.
Repeat the memory procedure if the mirror moves.
5. Select driver side mirror. The passenger-side mirror
will return to its previous position.
