Outside Rear View Mirror
Always adjust the mirror angles before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left and right outside rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted remotely using the remote switch. The mirror heads can be folded back to prevent damage during automatic car washes or when driving through narrow streets.
WARNING - Rearview Mirrors
- The outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.
- Use the inside rearview mirror or direct observation to determine the actual distance to following vehicles when changing lanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror; this may damage the glass surface. If ice prevents mirror movement, do not force the mirror adjustment. To remove ice, use a defrosting spray, sponge, or soft cloth with very warm water.
CAUTION
If the mirror is blocked by ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Use an approved de-icing spray (not radiator antifreeze) to release the frozen mechanism, or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the outside rearview mirrors while driving. This may cause loss of vehicle control and an accident, which may result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
