Chevrolet Silverado: Exterior Mirrors / Trailer-Tow Mirrors

Extending Mirrors
Trailer tow mirrors can extend out for better visibility when towing a trailer.

Manual Extend : 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.

Power Extend : If equipped, press the power extend button to fully extend
the mirror. Press again to retract.
Resetting the Power Extend Mirrors
Reset the power extend mirrors if:
- The mirrors are accidentally obstructed while extending/retracting.
- The mirrors are accidentally manually extended/retracted.
- The mirrors vibrate at normal driving speeds.
If a popping noise from the mirror is heard, this sound is normal as the manual
detents are aligning after a manual extend/retract operation has occurred.
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 Lamps.
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.

of the driver outside mirror. It can show objects that may be in the vehicle's blind
zone.
Driving with the Blind Spot Mirror

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.
