WARNING
The window switches have three positions: lower window, neutral, and raise window. Press forward on the switch to lower the window. Hold the switch down in the forward position for approximately one second to activate the express function; the window will continue to roll down after the switch is released. Press the switch in the rearward position (bump) to raise the window.
Mirrors
The standard outside mirrors are mounted on the door frame. The power mirrors are controlled with a left-hand or right-hand mirror selector switch, and a directional switch. Select the left (driver) mirror, or the right (passenger) mirror using the selector switch. The mirror can then be adjusted by pressing the directional switch arrow for the direction the mirror should be adjusted.
The outside door mirrors can be heated to keep them clear of fog, frost, and ice. To heat the mirrors, press the upper part of the mirror heat switch on the dash. See Fig. 9.2 . When the mirror heat switch is on, an amber indicator light illuminates inside the switch. If the vehicle has Optimized Idle, mirror heating will not operate with the key in accessory mode, or if the Optimized Idle feature turns mirror heating off to reduce stress on the batteries. Refer to Chapter 11 for more information.
