Outside rearview mirror  
CAUTION  
Be sure to adjust mirror angles before  
driving.  
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.  
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-  
hand and right-hand outside rearview  
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted  
remotely with the remote switch. The mir-  
ror heads can be folded back to prevent  
damage during an automatic car wash or  
when passing in a narrow street.

WARNING - Rearview mir-  
rors  
CAUTION  
Day/night rearview mirror  
If the mirror is jammed with ice, do  
not adjust the mirror by force. Use  
an approved spray de-icer (not radi-  
ator antifreeze) to release the  
frozen mechanism or move the  
vehicle to a warm place and allow  
the ice to melt.  
• The outside rearview mirror is  
convex. Objects seen in the mir-  
ror are closer than they appear.  
Make this adjustment before you start  
driving and while the day/night lever is in  
the day position.  
• Use your interior rearview mirror  
or direct observation to deter-  
mine the actual distance of fol-  
lowing vehicles when changing  
lanes.  
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.  
WARNING  
Do not adjust or fold the outside  
rearview mirrors while the vehicle  
is moving. This could result in loss  
of control, and an accident which  
could cause death, serious injury  
or property damage.

vehicle. When using the mirror, always  
exercise caution when attempting to  
judge the distance of vehicles behind or  
along side of you.
