MIRRORS

D140100AHM

Inside rearview mirror

Adjust the rearview mirror to center on
the view through the rear window. Make
this adjustment before you start driving.

D140101AHM

Day/night rearview mirror

Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce the glare from the headlights of
the vehicles behind you during night driv-
ing.

Remember that you lose some rearview
clarity in the night position.

D140102AUN

Electric chromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)

The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and automati-
cally controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.

WARNING -

Rear visibility

Do not place objects in the rear
seat or cargo area which would
interfere with your vision through
the rear window.

WARNING

Do not adjust the rearview mirror
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and
an accident which could cause
death, serious injury or property
damage.

CAUTION

When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the liq-
uid cleaner to enter the mirror hous-
ing.
