Outside rear view mirrorsÐ
Adjust the mirror so that you can see
the side of your vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger 's side.
It is a convex mirror with a curved sur-
face. Any object seen in a convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away than
when seen in a flat mirror.
On some models, when you push the rear
window defogger switch, the heater panels
in the outside rear view mirrors will quick-
ly clear the mirror surface.
CAUTION

Do not adjust the mirror while the
vehicle is moving. It may cause the
driver to mishandle the vehicle and
an accident may occur resulting in
death or serious injuries.

Since the mirror surfaces can get
hot, keep your hands off them when
the defogger switch is on.

turned on, the inside rear view mirror al-
ways turns on in the ªAUTOº mode.
The ªAUTOº indicator illuminates to show

reduce the reflected light.To turn off the automatic function, press
the switch on the ªOFFº side.

darken in response to the detection of
