2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Exterior Mirrors

Convex Mirrors

Warning
A convex mirror can make things, like other vehicles, look farther away than they really are. If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could hit a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.

Standard Mirrors

The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex mirror surface is curved so more can be seen from the driver seat.

Trailer-Tow Mirrors

The upper portion of both the driver and passenger mirrors is flat. The lower portion of both the driver and passenger mirrors is convex. A convex mirror surface is curved so more can be seen from the driver seat. The lower portion is adjusted manually.

Manual Mirrors

If equipped, adjust manual mirrors by moving the mirror up and down or left to right to see a little of the side of the vehicle and to have a clear view behind the vehicle.

Using hood-mounted air deflectors and add-on convex mirror attachments could decrease mirror performance.

Trailer-Tow Mirrors

Extending Mirrors
Trailer tow mirrors can extend out for better visibility when towing a trailer. If equipped, grasp the mirror housing firmly and pull back in one motion, arching slightly toward the rear of the vehicle.

To return the mirror to its original position, reverse the motion.

Auxiliary Cargo Mirror Lamps
If equipped, cargo mirror lamps face rearward to provide more light on the sides of the vehicle, if needed. See Exterior Cargo Lamps146.

Advanced Trailering Vision System Side Cameras
If equipped, the Advanced Trailering Vision System side cameras are on the bottom of the outside mirrors. See “Surround Vision (360 Degrees)” under Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 280.

Power Mirrors

To adjust each mirror:

1. Press to select the driver or passenger side mirror. The indicator light will illuminate.
2. Press the arrows on the control pad to move the mirror in the desired direction.
3. Adjust each outside mirror so that a little of the vehicle and the area behind it can be seen.
4. Press again to deselect the mirror.

Turn Signal Indicator
If equipped, the mirror has turn signal indicator lights, which flash in the direction of the turn or lane change.

Task Lighting
If equipped, task lighting projects light from the outside mirrors to the sides of the vehicle. See Task Lighting 145.

Puddle Lamps
If equipped, puddle lamps project light from the bottom of the mirror to the area of ground below the driver and passenger doors. See Entry Lighting 0 148 and Exit Lighting 148.

Memory Mirrors
The vehicle may have memory mirrors. See Memory Seats 46.

Lane Change Alert (LCA)
The vehicle may have LCA. See Lane Change Alert (LCA) 296.

Folding Mirrors

Manual Folding Mirrors
If equipped, push the mirror toward the vehicle to fold. Push the mirror outward to return to its original position. Manually fold the mirrors inward to prevent damage when going through an automatic car wash.

Power Folding Mirrors

If equipped, power fold the mirrors. Press again to unfold.

Resetting the Power Folding Mirrors

Reset the power-folding mirrors if:

• The mirrors are accidentally obstructed while folding.
• The mirrors are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
• The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded position.
• The mirrors vibrate at normal driving speeds.

Fold and unfold the mirrors one time using the mirror controls to reset them to their normal position. A noise may be heard during the resetting of the power folding mirrors. This sound is normal after a manual folding operation.

Remote Mirror Folding

If equipped, press and hold on the RKE transmitter for approximately one second to remotely fold the exterior mirrors. Press and hold on the RKE transmitter for approximately one second to unfold. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 11.
This feature can be turned on or off. See Vehicle Personalization 132.

Heated Mirrors

REAR : If equipped, the rear window defogger also heats the outside mirrors.
: If equipped, press to turn the heated outside mirrors on or off. See “Rear Window Defogger” under Climate Control Systems 191 or Dual Automatic Climate Control System 193.

Automatic Dimming Mirror

If equipped, the driver outside mirror automatically adjusts for the glare of the headlamps from behind. This feature comes on when the vehicle is started.

Blind Spot Mirrors

If equipped, there is a small convex mirror built into the upper and outer corner of the driver outside mirror. It can show objects that may be in the vehicle’s blind zone.

Driving with the Blind Spot Mirror

1. When the approaching vehicle is a long distance away, the image in the main mirror is small and near the inboard edge of the mirror.
2. As the vehicle gets closer, the image in the main mirror gets larger and moves outboard.
3. As the vehicle enters the blind zone, the image transitions from the main mirror to the blind spot mirror.
4. When the vehicle is in the blind zone, the image only appears in the blind spot mirror.

Using the Outside Mirror with the Blind Spot Mirror

1. Set the main mirror so that the side of the vehicle can just be seen and the blind spot mirror has an unobstructed view.
2. When checking for traffic or before changing a lane, look at the main driver/ passenger side mirror to observe traffic in the adjacent lane, behind your vehicle. Check the blind spot mirror for a vehicle in the blind zone. Then, glance over your shoulder to double check before moving slowly into the adjacent lane.

Reverse Tilt Mirrors

If equipped with reverse tilt mirrors and memory seats, the passenger and/or driver mirror tilts to a preselected position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This allows the curb to be seen when parallel parking.

The mirror(s) may move from their tilted position when:

• The vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), or remains in R (Reverse) for about 30 seconds.
• The vehicle is turned off.
• The vehicle is driven in R (Reverse) above a set speed.

To turn this feature on or off, see Vehicle Personalization 132.
