Distribution Updates
Updates for HHR
Week of 3/3/2008
Effective 3/3/2008, the following changes will be made to the Vehicle Order Guide:


Exterior section-Added (9B7) (SEO) Mirror, spotter. It is available on all equipment groups.
Mechanical section-(LNF) Engine, ECOTEC Turbo 2.0L DOHC 4-cylinder DI, added extended description that reads "(manual 260 hp [193.9 kW] @ 5300 rpm, 260 lb-ft of torque [351N-m] @ 2000 rpm; automatic 250 hp [186.4 kW] @ 5900 rpm, 222 lb-ft of torque [299.7 N-m] @ 1650 rpm)".

 

Just a guess but the mirror, spotter sounds like one of those little (wider view) mirrors on the outside rear view mirror????????????????

Maybe it's one of those little convex, stick on mirrors to provide greater visibility in the blind spot. But I honestly have no idea, this is only a guess

 

At least one of them $500.00 options

 

Could that be what GM calls the control button that you use to adjust the side mirrors??

 

No, it’s a spotting scope (like hunters use) to replace the overlarge mirror so that you can now see out of the windshield.

 

THERE IT IS !!! - I spotted it...

 

I suspect it is the little 'eye' that detects the brightness of the headlights behind you, to automatically tint the self-tinting rear view mirror.

 

Wouldn't that be the guy who let's you know how close you can pull up next to ATM or drive thru w/o hitting the mirror?

 

On a motorcycle it is a fish-eyed mirror. I suspect it is due to the complaints on the HHR blind spots.
