Chevrolet Silverado: Ride Control Systems / Limited-Slip Differential
If equipped, the limited-slip differential can give more traction on snow, mud,
ice, sand, or gravel.
It works like a standard axle most of the time, but when traction is low, this
feature allows the drive wheel with the most traction to move the vehicle. For vehicles
with the limited-slip differential, driven under severe conditions, the rear axle
fluid should be changed. See Maintenance Schedule.
This feature adds a sportier feel, provides a more comfortable ride, or assists
in different weather conditions or terrain. Depending on the option package, available
features, and mode selected; the suspension, steering, and powertrain will change
settings to achieve the desired mode characteristics...

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.

Actual Mirror View
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.
As the vehicle gets closer, the image in the main mirror gets larger and
moves outboard.
As the vehicle enters the blind zone, the image transitions from the main
mirror to the blind spot mirror.
When the vehicle is in the blind zone, the image only appears in the blind
spot mirror.
