POWER MIRRORS - SERVICE INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

The mirrors are controlled by a single switch assembly located on the driver's door trim panel. A three-position rotary joystick switch selects the right or left power mirror for adjustment, or turns the power mirror system Off in the center position. A momentary joystick directional switch allows the driver to adjust the selected power mirror in the Up, Down, Right or Left directions.

The motors which operate the mirrors are part of the mirror assembly and cannot be replaced separately.

These vehicles may be equipped with power foldaway mirrors. This feature allows both the driver and passenger side view mirrors to fold inward (retract) on demand. The vehicle has an additional switch located below the power mirror switch that controls the folding function of the mirror assembly.

The foldaway side view mirror is attached to the vehicle's door in the same manner as mirrors without the foldaway option. The foldaway mirrors unique option is the internal motor which allows the mirrors to fold inward. The fold-away mirror motor is not serviceable separately and if a motor is found to be inoperative, the entire side view mirror must be replaced.

OPERATION

Use the mirror select switch, located on the driver's door trim panel, to adjust the view obtained in the outside mirrors. Rotate the joystick for Left or Right mirror selection. Use the center off position to guard against accidentally moving a mirror position.

Select a mirror and press the joystick in one of the four positions that correspond with the direction that you want the mirror to move.
