Frost, fog and hassles simply melt away with these outside heated power-adjustable&nbsp;mirrors on your Equinox^&reg; LT. Activating the rear-window defogger also activates the mirrors' heating elements, making it easier to brush and clear your mirrors of snow or ice and reducing the need to readjust your mirrors afterward. (When the mirrors do require adjustments,&nbsp;handy power controls on the driver's door make the&nbsp;chore fast and easy.) They fold manually to help avoid accidental whacks when you pull into a narrow garage or other tight spot. And, with a finish to match your vehicle's body color, they look great, too. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Manage the temperature inside your Equinox^&reg; LS or 1LT in all&nbsp;4 seasons with this manually operated climate control system. A single set of easy-to-follow controls within easy reach on the instrument panel lets you adjust the heating, cooling, defrosting and ventilation throughout the vehicle, providing total comfort for you and your passengers.

More than an everyday convenience, this Remote Keyless Entry system enhances your personal security, too. Sure, it can lock the doors&nbsp;as you walk away, unlock only the driver's door (one click) or all doors (two clicks) when you come back, and help you find your Equinox^&reg;in big parking lots (pressing the Vehicle Locator button flashes the lights and chirps the horn). But it also works with the vehicle's theft-deterrent system to alert you&nbsp;when someone has attempted a break-in. Locking the doors with the remote arms the system; if someone tries to enter while you're away, the horn sounds and a Theft Attempted message appears on your instrument panel. The system helps protect not only your vehicle, but&nbsp;its contents as well. It comes with two key-fob transmitters.

Operate your cell phone with a simple tap of the steering wheel. Bluetooth^&reg;1&nbsp;for select phones connects your personal cell phone to your vehicle's audio system, allowing you to place and receive calls using the specific steering wheel controls.

The 4-wheel disc brakes on your Equinox^&reg; provide strong, sure stops on dry pavement, of course, but on slippery surfaces the antilock feature enhances your safety even further. The system eliminates the need to pump your brakes on&nbsp;ice, snow or&nbsp;rain-slick pavement to avoid locking your wheels, as you might have learned in driver's education.&nbsp;Instead, sensors in each wheel detect&nbsp;lockup as it happens and do the pumping for you, squeezing and releasing the brake calipers many times per second &ndash; much faster than you could pump.&nbsp;Putting steady, firm pressure on the pedal, you can steer and brake at the same time, a potentially critical ability when you're trying to avoid an object in your path in an emergency.

The Rear Vision Camera is displayed in the 7 diagonal color touch-screen audio system (if equipped)&nbsp;. This system is designed to help you see what's behind your vehicle&nbsp;when it's traveling in reverse at slow speeds.

These 17 tires&nbsp; provide an excellent blend of quiet ride, long life and sure-footed traction in all four seasons, eliminating the need to change to snow tires in most regions. And their contemporary Black sidewalls show off the&nbsp;gleaming aluminum wheels on which they're mounted, to maximum effect.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />
