Driver and passenger power operated outside rear view mirrors are standard factory-installed equipment. In addition, automatic dimming rear view mirrors, both inside and a driver side outside are available as optional equipment. The power mirror system for this vehicle includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this service information:

• Body Control Module  - The Body Control Module (BCM) is located beneath the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle. The BCM controls many of the body electrical system components. The BCM is both a Local Interface Network (LIN) master node and a gateway to the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), DESCRIPTION .
• Power Folding Mirror Switch  - The power folding mirror switch is integral to the driver front door power switch module located on the driver side front door trim panel and is only serviced as a unit with the switch module.

• Power Outside Rear View Mirrors  - Power outside rear view mirror units are mounted to the mirror flag at the front belt line of each front door window opening. Many variations of both the driver and passenger mirror are available, depending upon both trim and other optional equipment in the vehicle.
• Signal Lamps  - In vehicles equipped with this option, two amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) units illuminate a light pipe behind a clear lens that wraps around the lower outward and forward-facing surfaces of each mirror shell in concert with the turn signals. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
• Heated Mirrors  - The heated mirror option includes an electric heating grid behind the mirror glass in each outside rear view mirror, which can clear the mirror glass of ice, snow, or fog. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
