Idle increase aut.

Hello Forders,
1.Idle automatically increases. Touching the brake or gas pedal brings the engine idle to a normal level. Is that normal (factory settings for warm up) ?

2.White exhaust smoke occasionally appears. Making the truck looking like a steaming locomotive. Rpm + 2500 and its gone again, and I wont see the smoke for the next couple of weeks. Is that normal? Self cleaning or something like that.? Also the truck smells a bit warm/burned when it pops the white smoke.

3.Mirror expansion dont work anymore...could it be just a Fuse or is this function blessed with a weak engineering spot some where..?

Insightful guidance is much appreciated. Cheers

1. That is normal.

2. Sounds like it's in regen. Does it say anything on the dash when smoking?

3. Could be a fuse, switch, or failed. I assume by expansion you mean into tow mode, not folding in or out?
