outside mirrors.  
(Driver's Side Wide Angle Mirror*)  
 ꢀ  
The wide angle mirror has two  
Outside Mirrors  
curvatures on its surface separated  
by a region line into outer and  
inner regions. The inner region is  
a standard convex mirror whereas  
the outer region allows for a wider  
range of visibility within the same  
sweep. This combination allows for  
better assurance when making lane  
WARNING  
Be sure to look over your shoulder  
before changing lanes:  
Changing lanes without taking  
into account the actual distance of  
the vehicle in the convex mirror is  
dangerous. You could have a serious  
accident. What you see in the convex  
mirror is closer than it appears.  
changes.  
Region line  
 ꢀ  
The perceived distance of objects  
in the outer and inner regions of  
the wide angle mirror is different.  
Objects appearing in the outer region  
are actually further away than they  
are in the inner region.

Rearview Mirror  
WARNING  
Do not touch a power fold-in mirror  
while it is moving:  
WARNING  
Touching the power fold-in mirror  
when it is moving is dangerous. Your  
hand could be pinched and injured or  
the mirror could be damaged.  
Do not stack cargo or objects higher  
than the seatbacks:  
Cargo stacked higher than the  
seatbacks is dangerous. It can block  
your view in the rearview mirror, which  
might cause you to hit another car  
when changing lanes.  
Use the power fold-in switch to set the  
mirror to the on-road position:  
Setting the power fold-in mirror to the  
on-road position by hand is dangerous.  
The mirror will not lock in position and  
will prevent effective rearview visibility.  
Rearview mirror adjustment  
Before driving, adjust the rearview mirror  
to centre on the scene through the rear  
window.  
Only operate the power fold-in mirror  
with the vehicle safely parked:  
Operating the power fold-in mirror  
while the vehicle is moving is  
dangerous. Wind blast on the mirror  
will cause them to collapse and you will  
be unable to return it to the on-road  
position, preventing rearview visibility.  
Engine-off outside mirror operation*

The outside mirrors can be operated for  
about 40 seconds after the ignition is

mirrors will stop operating.  
Adjust the mirror with the antidazzle lever  
in the day position.  
Push the antidazzle lever forward for day
