Mirrors
Inside Mirror
Push or pull the tab under the mirror to reduce glare
from headlamps behind
you after dark.
Electrochromic Inside Rearview Mirror
with Compass (Option)
Your vehicle may have an electrochromic inside
rearview mirror.
An electrochromic inside rearview mirror, when on,
automatically dims to the proper level to minimize glare
from lights behind you after dark.
The mirror also includes
an eight point compass
display in the upper right
corner of the mirror face.
When
on, the compass
automatically calibrates
as the vehicle is driven.
To use the electrochromic mirror only, move the switch
at the bottom of
the mirror to the M position. To use the
electrochromic mirror as well as the compass, move the
switch to the
C/M position. To turn both features off,
move the switch to the
OFF position.

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.
Night Vision
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase.
A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to
see the
same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
What you do
in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will have less trouble adjusting to night.
But,if you’re
driving, don’t wear sunglasses at.night. They may cut
down on glare from headlamps, but they also make a
lot
of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several
seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you
are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who
doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle
with
misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring
directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle
clean
-- inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt
on the glass. Even the inside of the glass
can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils
of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up far less
of a
roadway when
you are in a turn or curve. Keep your
eyes moving; that way, it’s easier to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim,
so should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren’t even aware of it.
