Power Exterior Mirrors
Power mirrors allow the LH or RH exterior mirror glass to be positioned electronically. The position of the power mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch. Adjusting the exterior mirror control switch to the LH or RH position determines which power mirror glass will be controlled.
The exterior rear view 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 rear view mirrors. The heated exterior rear view mirrors only operate when the rear window defrost is on.
Interior Mirror
The vehicle may be equipped with one of the following interior rear view mirrors
- Interior rear view mirror
- Interior auto-dimming rear view mirror with compass
- Interior auto-dimming rear view mirror with compass with microphone
The interior rear view mirror consists of a mirror glass and housing. The interior rear view mirror mounts to an interior rear view mirror bracket at the upper center of the windshield glass. The interior rear view mirror can be adjusted left, right, up and down using the 2 pivot points on the support arm. The interior rear view mirror can be adjusted from a day position to a night position to reduce unwanted glare caused by headlamps reflecting in the mirror. Adjusting the interior rear view mirror day/night tab, located at the bottom of the interior rear view mirror, rearward will adjust the interior mirror to the night position. Adjusting the interior rear view mirror day/night tab forward will adjust the interior mirror the day position.
The interior rear view mirror may be equipped with an auto dimming feature. The interior auto-dimming rear view mirrors feature automatically reduces the glare caused by headlamps reflecting in the interior rear view mirror. The auto-dimming feature is activated when the ignition is in the RUN or ACC position. The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror adjusts the reflectance level of the interior rear view mirror glass to eliminate unwanted glare. The reflectance level of the mirror glass is variable and depends on the amount of rear glare in relation to ambient light conditions in front of the interior mirror. To provide increased visibility when backing up, the interior rear view mirror will automatically return to a high reflectance mode whenever the vehicle is in REVERSE.
The interior rear view mirror is equipped with an integrated compass module. For compass information, calibration or diagnostics, refer to ELECTRONIC COMPASS .
On vehicles equipped with SYNC, the interior rear view mirror will be equipped with an integrated microphone. For microphone information or diagnostics, refer to INFORMATION AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS .
Power Mirrors
The movement of the LH and RH exterior mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch and the LH and RH exterior mirror motors. Adjusting the exterior mirror switch to the LH or RH position determines which exterior mirror motor will be controlled. Voltage is supplied to the exterior mirror switch by Smart Junction Box (SJB) fuse 12 (7.5A). The exterior mirror control switch logic is the selected movement request from the exterior mirror control switch. When the exterior mirror control switch is adjusted to the left, right, up or down position, the exterior mirror control switch will supply voltage and ground to the selected exterior mirror motor to move the exterior mirror glass to the desired position.
The exterior mirrors use a jumper harness between the vehicle wire harness connector and the exterior mirror motor. The exterior mirror jumper harness is integral to the exterior mirror. Before replacing an exterior mirror or mirror motor, inspect the jumper harness for open and shorted circuits or damaged and pushed-out pins. If a concern with the exterior mirror jumper harness exists, an attempt to repair the jumper harness should be made.
Heated Exterior Mirrors
The rear window defrost switch controls the operation of the heated exterior mirror glass. The heated exterior mirror glass only operates when the rear window defrost system is ON. Voltage is supplied to the heated exterior mirror glass by the rear defrost relay, through Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 1 (15A), which isolates the rear window defrost system from the heated exterior mirror system in the event of a concern.
