WARNING

  • Do not adjust the mirror positions while driving. You could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
  • Objects reflected in the passenger-side outside mirror are closer than they appear. Be careful when moving to the right. Relying only on this mirror could cause an accident. Use the inside rearview mirror or look over your shoulder to judge the distance to objects accurately.

The remote control for the outside mirrors only works when the ignition switch is in the ACC (accessory) or ON position.

Move the small switch 1 to select the left or right mirror.

Adjust the selected mirror position using the large switch 2 .

Heated Mirrors (if equipped)

Some outside mirrors are equipped with a heating element that removes fog, frost or ice from the mirror surface, improving the driver's visibility. Refer to the "Rear window and outside mirror defroster switch" section in the "Controls and instruments" chapter of this manual for more information.

Manual Foldaway Outside Mirrors (if so equipped)
