MIRRORS
Adjust
the
outside
and
inside mirrors
be­
fore driving and after adjusting your seat
to
proper driving position.
It is
important
for

safe driving that
you
have good vision
to

the rear.

WARNING
The right hand outside mirror may have a curved (convex) surface. Always re­member that vehicles or other objects
seen in a convex mirror will look
smaller and appear farther away than
when seen in a flat mirror. Do not use
this mirror to estimate distances of
following cars when changing lanes.
Whenever possible, use the inside mir­ ror to determine the actual distance
and size of vehicles or objects seen in
the convex mirror.

Outside mirrors
The outside mirrors
are
hinged
and
fold flat against
the
vehicle when pressed from either direction.
Fold mirrors flat against
the
side windows
when taking your vehicle through
an
auto­ matic
car
wash
to
prevent possible dam­

age.
Outside mirrors with electric
remote control*
These mirrors can
be
adjusted electrically from
the
inside
by
moving
the
knob
on the
driver's door panel. They work only with
the ignition
on. To
adjust either driver
or
passenger mirror, turn knob
to L or R.

If
the
electrical adjustment
of the
mirror
should
not
respond, adjust
the
mirror
by
hand
by
pushing lightly
on the
edge
of the

mirror glass.
When
the
rear window defogger
is
switched
on, the
outside mirrors
are

electrically heated
at the
same time
(see

page 47). |B28-021
