Mirrors: Description and Operation

The outside rear view mirror has the following features:
- electrically operated
- the optional heated mirrors are controlled by the HEATED BACK WINDOW system

The available automatic dimming feature:
- is controlled by the outside rear view mirror control which is located on the front door trim panel.
- memory recall positioning is controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM).

Inside Rear View -Automatic Dimming
The inside rear view mirror:
- has an automatic dimming feature that controls the inside rear view mirror and the LH outside rear view mirror if so equipped.
- houses two sensors to determine dimmer actuation.
- defaults to the NORMAL setting when the transmission is shifted to REVERSE to allow a bright view for backing up.
- is disabled by pushing the mirror-mounted switch to the OFF position.

Memory
The memory mirror:
- position is stored in the Driver Seat Module (DSM).

- automatically repositions upon entry by activation of:
- keyless entry keypad code position 1 or 2.
- keyless entry remote transmitter position 1 or 2.

The memory mirrors operate as follows:
- Enter the vehicle using the remote keyless entry transmitter or remote entry keypad code that is programmed to memory position 1 or 2.
- The Driver Door Module (DDM) transmits a restore position 1 or 2 to the Driver Seat Module (DSM).
- The DSM will restore the last mirror position saved for memory position 1 or 2.

Reverse Drive Rear View
The reverse drive rear view mirror function:
- tilts the outside rear view mirror downward to improve visibility in the rear bumper area.
- is operated by the driver seat module.

When the reverse drive rear view mirror function is enabled:
- The driver outside rear view mirror tilts down three degrees and the passenger outside rear view mirror tilts down five and a half degrees when the ignition switch is in RUN and REVERSE is selected.

The outside rear view mirror will return to the original setting when the transmission is shifted out of REVERSE.
- pressing the outside rear view mirror control will cancel the reverse tilt or automatic mirror position return if it is operating.
- if the transmission is shifted out of REVERSE and then back into REVERSE within ten seconds, the driver seat module will delay the reverse tilt operation for five seconds.
