Power Mirrors - Service Information: Operation

Both sideview mirrors are automatically heated and each housing can manually fold in for protection. Mirror selection and movement direction is controlled by a 4-way double-pole switch. Two electric motors inside each sideview mirror housing actuate the glass surface in the corresponding direction that the switch is moved. The inside rear view mirror is fully automatic and darkens to prevent glare during night driving. It operates when the following conditions are simultaneously met:

• The ignition switch is in the ON position
• Reverse gear is not selected
• The interior lights are switched off
• Headlamp glare from behind falls on the sensor
