You have gone thru menu in past and seen these settings and adjusted them on/off? Or, realized system wasn’t working and then investigated? You sure you have them? I’d go to dealer and have them check it. ---

I just bought the vehicle, all the equipment is installed and mirrors have all the the lights for it. I’m not sure if it was there before. The turn signal lights on mirrors not powering on either ---

It’s possible that the mirrors are not original to the vehicle. If you can find the RPO sticker, I can look up the option codes for your vehicle and verify that it was built with the feature. The sticker is usually where the spare tire would be, and has the VIN number and many 3 character codes. ---

Did you not drive this before you bought it ? Those features are an option package so look in the owners manual to see how to activate them if you actually have them . ---

Inspect front grill area carefully, sometimes sensors there get damaged as result of minor bump into a poll etc. Also Check the area on the windshield, inside/outside, near the rear view mirror. Notice anything unusual? ---

You have a LS model, which from what I see can not be equipped with BLIS, signal mirrors, or any of the advanced driver aids. They become optional on the next trim level up, the LT. Codes WPR or WPS are used for the packages containing those features. ---

Ok thanks so much I’m guessing mirrors have been replaced.
