2-50 Power Remote Control Mirror
The controls on the far left
of the instrument panel
control both outside
rearview mirrors. Move the
center switch to the left (L)
to select the driver's side
rearview mirror, or to the
right (R) to select the
passenger's side
rearview mirror.
Then press the arrows to adjust each mirror so that you
can just see the side of your vehicle when you are sitting
in a comfortable driving position.
To lock the controls, leave the selector switch in the
middle position.
Your vehicle is equipped with the memory function. The
mirror positions, along with the driver's set position, can
be stored into memory. See ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº
in the Index.
Parallel Park Assist Mirror
The passenger's outside rearview mirror also includes a
tilt
-down feature that operates when the shift lever is in
REVERSE (R). This feature assists the driver with
improved rear obstacle detection.
Move the power remote control mirror switch to the
left (L) or center position to enable this feature. Move
the switch to the right (R) to turn this feature off.
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.

If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you're
planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make
your trips safer and more enjoyable.
Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid
levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system
and transaxle. These parts can work hard on
mountain roads.
Know how to go down hills. The most important
thing to know is this: let your engine do some of the
slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when you go
down a steep or long hill.
CAUTION:
If you don't shift down, your brakes could get
so hot that they wouldn't work well. You would
then have poor braking or even none going
down a hill. You could crash. Shift down to let
your engine assist your brakes on a steep
downhill slope.
CAUTION:
Coasting downhill in NEUTRAL (N) or with
the ignition off is dangerous. Your brakes will
have to do all the work of slowing down. They
could get so hot that they wouldn't work well.
You would then have poor braking or even none
going down a hill. You could crash. Always have
your engine running and your vehicle in gear
when you go downhill.
Know how to go uphill. Drive in the highest
gear possible.
In hilly terrain, you may want to switch to the
POWER mode for better performance.
Stay in your own lane when driving on two
-lane
roads in hills or mountains. Don't swing wide or cut
across the center of the road. Drive at speeds that let
you stay in your own lane.
As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There
could be something in your lane, like a stalled car
or an accident.
