Outside Convex Mirror; Outside Heated Mirrors; Object Detection Systems; Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (Urpa) - Pontiac Montana SV6 2008 Owner's Manual

Use the arrows on the bottom control to adjust the
position of each mirror. Adjust each mirror so that
you can see the side of your vehicle and the area
behind it, while sitting in a comfortable driving position.
Both outside mirrors can be folded forward or
rearward to prevent damage when going through
car washes or confined spaces.

Outside Convex Mirror

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 lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex. A convex mirror's
surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver's seat. It also makes things, like other vehicles,
look farther away than they really are.

Outside Heated Mirrors

If the vehicle has outside heated rearview mirrors,
they are activated when the rear window defogger is
turned on. See "Rear Window Defogger" in Climate
Control System on page 3-23 or Dual Climate Control
System on page 3-26.

Object Detection Systems

Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) system, it helps you park easier and avoid
other vehicles while in REVERSE (R). It operates
at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). It can determine
how close objects are to the rear bumper, up to
5 feet (1.5 m) behind your vehicle. The distance
sensors are located on the rear bumper.
