Warning!

G

Exercise care when using the

passenger-side exterior rear view mirror.

The mirror surface is convex (outwardly

curved surface for a wider field of view). Ob-

jects in mirror are closer than they appear.

Check your interior rear view mirror or

glance over your shoulder before changing

lanes.

!

If an exterior rear view mirror was forcibly

pushed forward (hit from the rear) or forcibly
pushed rearward (hit from the front), reposition
it by applying firm pressure until it snaps into
place. The mirror housing is then properly posi-
tioned and you can adjust the mirror in the usual
manner.

i

At low ambient temperatures, the exterior

rear view mirrors will be heated automatically.

i

The memory function (

page 129) lets you

store the setting for the exterior rear view
mirrors together with the settings for the
steering wheel and the driver’s seat position.
