Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust the mirror angles
before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand outside rearview
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted
remotely with the remote switch (if
equipped). The mirror heads can be fold-
ed to prevent damage during an auto-
matic car wash or when passing through
a narrow street.
The right outside rearview mirror is con-
vex. Objects seen in the mirror are closer
than they appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or direct
observation to determine the actual dis-
tance of following vehicles when chang-
ing lanes.
Remote control
Electric type
The electric remote control mirror switch
allows you to adjust the position of the
left and right outside rearview mirrors. To
adjust the position of either mirror the
ignition switch should be in the ACC or
ON position.
Move the lever (1) to R or L to select the
right side mirror or the left side mirror,
then press a corresponding point on the
mirror adjustment control to position the
selected mirror up, down, left or right.
After the adjustment, put the lever into
neutral (center) position to prevent inad-
vertent adjustment.
CAUTION - Rearview
mirror
Do not scrape ice off the mirror
face; this may damage the surface
of the glass. If ice should restrict
movement of the mirror, do not
force the mirror for adjustment. To
remove ice, use a deicer spray, or a
sponge or soft cloth with very warm
water.
WARNING - Mirror
adjustment
Do not adjust or fold the outside
rearview mirrors while the vehicle
is moving. This could result in loss
of control.
