Mirrors
Outside rearview mirror Be sure to adjust mirror angles before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both lefthand and right-hand outside rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted remotely with the control levers or remote switch, depending on the type of mirror control installed. The mirror heads can be folded back to prevent damage during an automatic car wash or when passing in a narrow street.
CAUTION
• The right outside rearview mirror
is convex. Objects seen in the
mirror are closer than they
appear.
• Use your interior rearview mirror
or direct observation to determine
the actual distance of following
vehicles when changing
lanes.
NOTICE
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.
Manual remote control
(if equipped)
To adjust an outside mirror, move the
control lever located at the forward inside
area of the window frame.
Electric remote control
(if equipped)
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, 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 adjustment, put the lever into neutral position to prevent the inadvertent adjustment.
NOTICE
• The mirrors stop moving when they
reach the maximum adjusting angles,
but the motor continues to operate
while the switch is depressed. Do not
depress the switch longer than necessary,
the motor may be damaged.
• Do not attempt to adjust the outside rearview mirror by hands. Doing so may damage the parts.
Folding the outside rearview
mirror
To fold outside rearview mirror, grasp the
housing of mirror and then fold it back,
toward the rear of the vehicle.

window defroster is turned on. To heat
the outside rearview mirror glass, push

The outside rearview mirror glass will be heated for defrosting or defogging and will give you improved rear vision in inclement weather conditions. Push the button again to turn the heater off. The outside rearview mirror heater automatically turns off after 20 minutes.
Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror to center on
the view through the rear window. Make
this adjustment before you start driving.

or cargo area which would interfere
with your vision out the rear window.
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 glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearview clarity in the night position.
