Exterior Mirrors
The main components of the exterior mirrors are:
- Exterior mirror control switch
- Exterior mirror cover
- Exterior mirror glass
- Exterior mirror glass adjustment motors
- Exterior mirror plastic housing
- Puddle lamps (optional)
Power Exterior Mirrors
Power mirrors allow the driver or passenger mirror glass to be positioned electronically. The position of the power mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch. Adjusting the exterior mirror control switch to the LH or RH position determines which exterior mirror glass will be controlled.
Heated Exterior Mirrors
The power exterior rear view mirrors are available with a heated mirror glass feature, which heats the mirror glass to remove frost, snow, ice and condensation. The rear window defrost switch controls the operation of the heated exterior mirrors. The heated exterior mirrors only operate when the rear window defrost system is on.
Memory Exterior Mirrors
The memory mirror function recalls the preferred positioning of the LH and RH exterior mirror glass. The memory mirror function is activated by the door mounted switches or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. When a memory position is recalled by the operator, the LH and RH exterior mirror glass will automatically adjust to the preferred position that is stored in the Driver Seat Module (DSM) memory. The DSM is capable of setting a DTC for the memory mirror system when a system concern exists. For information on the DSM and Memory Position Programming, refer to Seats.
Exterior Mirror With Integrated Blind Spot Mirror
The exterior mirrors may be equipped with exterior mirror glass that has an integrated blind spot mirror. The integrated blind spot mirror is located in the upper outboard corner of the exterior mirror glass.
LH Auto-Dimming Exterior Mirror
The LH auto-dimming exterior mirror feature automatically reduces the glare caused by headlamps reflecting in the mirror. The auto-dimming feature is activated when the ignition is in the RUN or ACC position. The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror controls the reflectance level of the LH exterior mirror to eliminate unwanted glare. To provide increased visibility when backing up, the LH exterior mirror will automatically return to a high reflectance mode whenever the vehicle is in REVERSE.
