Mirrors  
51n  
The mirror on the passenger's  
side features a lens with a convex  
surface. When estimating the distance  
between yourself and other traffic, bear  
in mind that the objects reflected in the  
mirror are closer than they appear. This  
means that estimates of the distance to  
following traffic should not be regarded  
as precise.<  
Electric defrosting*  
Both mirrors are defrosted automa-  
tically when the ignition key is in  
position 2.  
Interior rearview mirror  
To reduce the glare effect from the rear  
while driving at night, tilt the mirror by  
moving the small lever.  
Vanity mirrors  
Fold the sun visors down and push the  
cover (coupe only) to the side.
