Modern vehicles often include features designed to enhance driver convenience and safety. The exterior mirror adjustment system in your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox is one such feature, allowing your to easily position the mirrors for optimal visibility. Properly adjusted mirrors improve situational awareness, reduce blind spots, and enhance overall driving safety. This feature is especially useful for vehicles such as the Equinox, where maximizing visibility is crucial for navigating diverse road conditions. This article provides a detailed guide on how to adjust the exterior mirrors in your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox.

System Guidelines

Power-Adjustable Mirrors

The power-adjustable mirrors on your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox provide convenience by allowing you to customize the mirror positions for optimal visibility with minimal effort.

Steps to Adjust the Mirrors:

1. Select the Desired Mirror:

Move the selector switch to L (Left) or R (Right) to choose the driver-side or passenger-side mirror. The selected mirror is activated for adjustment.

2. Adjust the Mirror Position:

Use the arrow buttons on the control pad to move the mirror in the desired direction: up, down, left, or right.

3. Lock the Mirror Adjustment:

Return the selector switch to the center (neutral) position once the mirror is properly adjusted to prevent unintentional changes.

WARNING: The passenger-side mirror is a convex mirror, which makes objects appear farther away than they are. This optical effect can create misjudgment when changing lanes or parking. Always exercise caution and allow ample space when maneuvering to avoid collisions with vehicles or obstacles.

Tilting Mirrors in Reverse

If your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox is equipped with memory seats, it may also include a reverse tilt mirror feature. This functionality adjusts the passenger and/or driver-side mirror to a preselected angle when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse). This provides a clear view of the curb when parallel parking and improves visibility of the area near the rear wheels to avoid obstacles.

The mirror(s) return to their original position under the following conditions:

• The vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse).
• The vehicle remains in R (Reverse) for approximately 30 seconds without movement.
• The ignition is turned off.
• The vehicle reaches a set speed while in reverse, typically indicating the need for higher focus on driving rather than parking.

Note:

• To program or adjust the reverse tilt mirror settings, consult the memory seat adjustment feature in your vehicle’s user manual.
• Ensure no objects obstruct the mirror’s movement to avoid mechanical strain or damage.
