Rearview Mirror
Only the driver’s side outside mirror will adjust for
the glare of headlamps behind you. This feature
is controlled by the
on and off settings on the
electrochromic mirror. See “Electrochromic
Daymight Rearview Mirror” earlier in this section.
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your mirror is equipped with memory mirrors, it
will also be equipped with the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will cause the passenger mirror to
tilt when the vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R). This
feature may be useful
in allowing you to view the curb
when you
are parallel parking.
When the vehicle
is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five second delay has occurred, the passenger mirror
will return to its original position. If further adjustment
is needed after the mirror is tilted, the mirror switch may
be used. The mirror then returns to its original position.
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. This mirror does not have
a
dimming feature.
A CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles)
look farther away than they really are.
If you cut
too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ventilation Tips
0 Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves).
The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside
of the windows.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside
of the windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps circulate air throughout your vehicle.
Defrosting
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly
in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the DEFROST button. If you select DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or
down.
If you select DEFROST from AUTO, the system
will control the fan speed. The temperature also needs to
be adjusted by turning the TEMP/AUTO knob.
Note that recirculation
is not available in the defrost or
defog modes.
Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the
rear window warm the
glass. Press this button
to
turn on the rear defogger.
With it, the rear window
and both outside rearview
mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
~~~
~
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut
or damage the warming grid or the
integrated rear window antenna, and the repairs
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to
pass while you’re awaiting an opportunity. For one
thing, following too closely reduces your area of
vision, especially if you’re following a larger
vehicle.
Also, you won’t have adequate space if the
vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops. Keep back a
reasonable distance.
When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up,
start to accelerate but stay
in the right lane and don’t
get too close. Time your move
so you will be
increasing speed as the time comes to move into the
other lane. If the way is clear
to pass, you will have a
“running start” that more than makes up for the
distance you would lose by dropping back. And if
something happens to cause you to cancel your pass,
you need only slow down and drop back again and
wait for another opportunity.
If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait
your turn. But take care that someone isn’t trying to
pass
you as you pull out to pass the slow vehicle.
Remember to glance over your shoulder and check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and
start your left lane change signal before moving out
of the right lane to pass. When you are far enough
ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your
inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal
and move back into the right lane. (Remember that
your right outside mirror is convex. The vehicle
you
just passed may seem to be farther away from you
than it really
is.)
Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time
on two-lane roads. Reconsider before passing the
next vehicle.
Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly.
Even though the brake lamps
are not flashing, it may
be slowing down or starting to turn.
If you’re being passed, make it easy for the
following driver
to get ahead of you. Perhaps you
can ease a little to the right.
