Driver Controls
Fold-away mirrors
Fold the side mirrors in carefully before driving through a narrow space,
like an automatic car wash.
Powerfold mirrors (if equipped)
You can fold the side mirrors
simultaneously using the power
mirror button. Press the button to
fold the mirrors in or out. Powerfold
the side mirrors in carefully when
driving through a narrow space, like
an automatic car wash.
The powerfold mirrors may be moved inward/outward manually.
However, if a mirror is moved manually, it will need to be reset. A mirror
which has not been reset may appear to be loose. To reset: momentarily
press the button to fold the mirrors in. An audible "click" will be heard
indicating re-synchronization. If the click is not heard, use the switch to
fold the mirrors out, then in, until the click is heard. After that, the
mirrors will operate normally until they are again moved manually.
Note: 10 or more switch activations within one minute, or repeated
folding/unfolding of the mirrors while holding the button down during
full travel, may cause the system to disable the fold/unfold function to
protect motors from overheating. Should this occur, 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.
Signal indicator mirrors (if equipped)
When the turn signal is activated, the outer portion of the appropriate
mirror housing will blink. This provides an additional warning to other
drivers that your vehicle is about to turn.
Blind spot mirrors (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with blind spot mirrors or a blind spot
information system. Refer to Blind spot mirrors or Blind spot
information system (BLIS ) with cross traffic alert (CTA) in the
Driving chapter.
