driving conditions...
Other information:
If equipped with reverse tilt mirror and memory seats, the passenger and/or driver
mirror tilts to a preselected position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This

The vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), or remains in R (Reverse) for
about 30 seconds...
The vehicle has a number of computers that record information about the vehicle’s
performance and how it is driven or used. For example, the vehicle uses computer
modules to monitor and control engine and transmission performance, to monitor the
conditions for airbag deployment and deploy them in a crash, and, if equipped, to
provide antilock braking to help the driver control the vehicle...
