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.

 Mirror type Flat type (driver's side)

Flat surface mirror.

Convex type (front passenger side)

The mirror has single curvature on its surface.

Power mirror adjustment

The ignition must be switched to ACC or ON position.

To adjust:

1. Rotate the mirror switch to the left or
right to choose the left or right side mirror.


2. Press the mirror switch in the appropriate direction.


After adjusting the mirror, lock the control by rotating the switch in the center position.

Folding mirror

WARNING

Always return the outside mirrors to the driving position before you start driving:

Driving with the outside mirrors folded in is dangerous. Your rear view will be restricted, and you could have an accident.

Manually fold the outside mirror rearward until it is flush with the vehicle.


Driver's side auto-dimming door mirror (some models)

The movement of the auto-dimming door mirror is interlocked with the autodimming rearview mirror in the interior to automatically reduce glare from rear on-coming vehicles.

Refer to Rearview Mirror.

NOTE

The front passenger-side door mirror does not have the auto-dimming feature.
