Adjust the mirror so that you can just  
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-  
ror.  
To change the steering wheel length,  
push down the lock release lever, set  
the steering wheel to the desired length  
and return the lever to its original posi-  
tion.  
Be careful when judging the size or dis-  
tance of any object seen in the outside  
rear view mirror on the passenger’s side  
because it is a convex mirror. Any object  
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller  
and farther away than when seen in a flat  
mirror.  
On some models, when you push the  
back window defogger switch, the heater  
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will  
quickly clear the surface. (See “Back  
window and outside rear view mirror  
defoggers” on page 142 in Section 15.)
