Outside Power Heated Mirrors
For information on the operation of the outside power
mirrors see Outside Power Mirrors on page 2-37.
If the vehicle has heated mirrors, they will warm up to
melt ice and snow, and remove condensation when the
defroster is turned on. See Dual Automatic Climate
Control System on page 3-24 or Climate Control System
on page 3-20.
Outside Convex Mirror
{
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s
surface is curved so more can be seen from the
driver seat. It also makes things, like other vehicles,
look farther away than they really are.
Object Detection Systems
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA)
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system, it helps you park easier and
avoid other vehicles while in REVERSE (R). It operates
at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). It can determine
how close objects are to the rear bumper, up to
5 feet (1.5 m) behind your vehicle. The distance sensors
are located on the rear bumper.
