Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust 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 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.
✽✽
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.
MIRRORS
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 deter-
mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changing
lanes.

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 neu-
tral 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 neces-
sary, 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,

Outside rearview mirror heater
(if equipped)
The outside rearview mirror heater is
automatically turned on when the rear
window defroster is turned on. To heat
the outside rearview mirror glass, push
the button for the rear window defroster.
The rearview mirror heater (and rear win-
dow defroster) will not operate unless the
engine is running.
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 automati-
cally turns off after 20 minutes.
Day/night rearview mirror
(if equipped)
Adjust the rearview mirror to center on
the view through the rear window. Make
this adjustment before you start driving.
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 vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearview
clarity in the night position.
CAUTION
Do not place objects in the rear seat
or cargo area which would interfere
with your vision out the rear window.
