Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
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 out-
side rear view mirror defogger switch, the
heater panels in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the mirror sur-
face. (See “Outside rear view mirror de-
fogger and windshield wiper de icer” on
page 96 in Section 1 4.)
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.
To adjust a mirror, use the switches.
1. Master switch—To select the mirror to be adjusted

ror face. Use a spray de icer to free
the mirror.
