(If Equipped)
The remote power mirror
control is to the left of
your steering wheel.
To adjust either mirror,
move the switch to
L (left)
or R (right). Then use
the touch pad to adjust
the mirror.
Once you have adjusted both mirrors, move
the switch
back to the center. This prevents moving
the mirrors
accidentally once
you have adjusted them.
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.
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.
