Power Remote Control Mirrors
The control on the driver's
door controls both outside
rearview mirrors.
Turn the control counterclockwise to select the driver's
side rearview mirror, or clockwise to select the passenger's
side rearview mirror. Then use the control to adjust each
mirror so that you can just see the side of your vehicle
when you are sitting in a comfortable driving position.
If you are not adjusting either mirror, leave the control
in the center off position. This prevents moving the
mirrors accidentally once you have them adjusted.
Both outside mirrors can be folded forward or rearward.
In the rearward position, they will fold almost flush with
the vehicle. This feature is particularly useful in
automatic car washes.Your mirrors have a blue tint to reduce glare while
driving at night.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.
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.
Heated Outside Mirrors
The left and right outside mirrors are heated when you
activate the rear window defogger. See ªRear Window
Defoggerº in the Index.

This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the music sources including AM
-FM, cassette tapes
or CDs. However, the rear seat passengers can only
control the music sources that the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat passengers
may listen to a cassette tape or CD through headphones
while the driver listens to the radio through the front
speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of the
volume for each set of headphones. Be aware that the
front seat audio controls always override the rear seat
audio controls.
Note that this feature is intended for rear
seat passengers.

To load a CD into the player, hold the disc with the label
side up and insert it carefully into the player
(approximately half way). The disc will automatically
be pulled into the player. If the radio is off and the

and player from damage. The disc will not start playing.
To remove the disc, press the EJECT button and remove
the disc from the player.
All of the compact disc functions are controlled by the
radio buttons except for EJECT. When a disc is in the

symbol in the bottom left corner. The track number will
also be displayed.
