Outside Rear View Mirror
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
The outside rear view mirrors:
^ Are controlled by power controls on the LH front door trim panel.
^ Are of foldaway design.
^ May be finished in chrome or may be color-keyed.
^ May contain turn signal indicators.
^ May be heated when the heated back window glass is activated (Navigator only).
^ May have a programmable recall memory option (Navigator only).
Driver Seat Module
The power driver seat and power outside rear view mirrors are controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM) only when the vehicle is equipped with the programmable/recall memory option.
The DSM system consists of the following components:
^ Driver Seat Module.
^ Driver memory seat switch.
^ Memory mirror switch.
^ Memory set switch.
^ Front vertical seat motor.
^ Rear vertical seat motor.
^ Driver horizontal seat motor.
^ LH heated memory mirror.
^ RH heated memory mirror.
The DSM incorporates multiple functions into one module and offers diagnostics to easily locate and repair concerns affecting the subsystems that it controls.
Power Outside Rear View Mirror Operation
The power outside rear view mirrors are controlled by the DSM and are operational all the time, whether the ignition switch is ON or OFF. Using the power outside rear view mirrors switch, the driver can adjust the driver and passenger outside rear view mirrors four ways (four motors are used per mirror). The system operates as follows.
Mirror Selection - Driver/Passenger
^ The driver can select the driver or passenger mirror to be adjusted by setting the mirror select switch to the appropriate position.
Up/Down Motion
The power outside rear view mirrors can be moved up and down under motor control by actuating the power mirrors UP/DOWN switch. The DSM will power the driver or passenger mirror up/down motor until the switch is released or until the travel limit is reached.
Left/Right Motion
^ The power outside rear view mirrors can be moved left and right under motor control by actuating the power mirrors LEFT/RIGHT switch. The DSM will power the driver or passenger mirror left/right motor until the switch is released or until the travel limit is reached.
Memory Power Outside Rear View Mirror Operation
The memory power outside rear view mirrors feature allows the driver to program personalized mirror positions that can be recalled using the memory switches or remote transmitter. There are three memory settings possible. The power driver seat positions are also stored and recalled with the memory outside rear view mirrors positions.
Programming Mirror Positions
^ A power outside rear view mirror position can be stored at any time. The driver must move the mirror to the desired position using the power outside rear view mirror switch assembly. The driver must then depress the memory SET switch which activates the memory SET switch Light Emitting Diode (LED). Within five seconds (before the LED goes out), the driver must select a memory position. Memory 1 is selected by depressing the memory switch 1.Memory 2 is selected by depressing the memory switch 2.Memory 3 is selected by depressing both memory switch 1 and memory switch 2 simultaneously.
^ If no memory switch input is received within the five second time limit, the operation is aborted and the memory SET switch LED is turned off. If one of the following inputs is received during the five secondprogramming limit, the operation is aborted and the memory SET switch LED is turned off:
- Power driver seat switch.
- Power outside rear view mirror switch.
- Memory SET switch.
Recalling Stored Mirror Positions
NOTE: A memory recall can be initiated only if the vehicle is in PARK or NEUTRAL gear, and the ignition switch is not in START. A memory recall in progress will not be affected by moving the ignition switch to START or by moving the gearshift lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL.
Once the driver has stored desired outside rear view mirror positions, the driver can recall the setting by depressing the corresponding memory switch or by using a programmed transmitter.
^ The driver can recall the desired outside rear view mirror positions by one or both of the memory recall switches. Depressing memory switch 1 will initiate a recall of the outside rear view mirror positions stored in memory 1. Depressing memory switch 2 will initiate a recall of the outside rear view mirror positions stored in memory 2. Depressing memory switch 1 and memory switch 2 simultaneously will initiate a recall of the outside rear view mirror positions stored in memory 3.
^ A remote transmitter can be used to recall previously set memory positions. Transmitters are manufactured with an assigned personality number ("1", "2", or "3") and are so designated on the back of the transmitter. The transmitter assigned with personality "1" is capable of recalling memory position 1 only. Similarly, the personality "2" and "3,, transmitter can recall only memory positions 2 and 3 respectively.
^ Memory recall occurs when the UNLOCK switch is depressed on the transmitter. The second depression of the UNLOCK switch, which unlocks passenger doors, does not initiate a memory recall.
^ A memory recall in progress does not prohibit the initiation of another memory recall; the most recently requested memory recall will be executed. Activation of the memory SET switch, power outside rear view mirror switch or power driver seat switch will cancel a memory recall in progress.
