Power Exterior Mirrors

Power mirrors allow the LH or RH exterior mirror glass to be positioned electronically. The position of the exterior 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 exterior mirrors are equipped 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 is on.

Memory Exterior Mirrors

The memory mirror function recalls the preferred positioning of the LH and RH exterior mirror glass. The Driver Seat Module (DSM) monitors the exterior mirror control switch and controls the movement of the RH and LH exterior mirror motors. 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 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. Programming and Relearning
