1995 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE rear view mirror

Inside Manual Rearview Mirror Automatic Rearview Mirror
When
you are sitting in a comfortable driving position,
adjust the mirror
so you can see clearly behind your car.
Grip the mirror in the center to move it up or down and
side to side. The day-night adjustment allows you to
adjust the mirror to avoid glare from the lights behind
you. Pull the tab forward for daytime use. Push it back
for night use. The
mirror automatically changes to reduce glare when
set
in the ON position. One photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it is becoming
dark outside. Another
photocell is built into the mirror surface
to sense
headlamps behind you.
The mirror will darken gradually
to reduce glare. This
change may
take a few moments.
Pressing the switch on the bottom of the
mirror turns off
the dayhight function. The mirror will stay in the day
setting.
To keep the photocells operating well, occasionally
clean them with a cotton swab
and glass cleaner.

Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more
from the driver’s seat.
Manual Remote Control Mirror
The outside rearview mirror should be adjusted so you
can just see the side
of your vehicle when you are sitting
in a comfortable driving position.
Adjust the driver side outside mirror with the control
lever
on the driver’s door.
To adjust your passenger side mirror, sit in the driver’s
seat and have
a passenger adjust the mirror for you.
Power Remote Control Mirrors
(Option)
A control lever on the
driver’s door controls both
l outside rearview mirrors.
Select the mirror
you want to adjust by rotating the lever
to the left or right. Adjust each mirror so that you can
just see the side
of your vehicle and the area behind your
vehicle, when you are sitting in a comfortable driving
position.
When
you operate the optional rear window defogger,
the outside rearview mirrors are also heated to help clear
them
of ice and snow.

Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One
reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired -- by
alcohol or
drugs, with night vision problems, or by
fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.

Drive defensively.
Don’t
drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
Since
you can’t see as well, you may need to slow
down and keep more space between you
and other
vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.
Your
headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and
rest.

Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as “highway
hypnosis”?
Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel?
Call
it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or
whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch
of road with the
same scenery, along with the hum
of the tires on the road,
the drone
of the engine, and the rush of the wind against
the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t let it happen
to you!
If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less
than a second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be
aware that it can happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a
comfortably cool interior.
0 Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to
the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and
your
instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service,
or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both. For safety, treat drowsiness
on the highway as
an emergency.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from
driving in flat or rolling terrain.
