Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
An inside rearview mirror is attached to your windshield.
The mirror can be adjusted up and down or side to side.
The mirror may also be equipped with reading lamps.
The mirror can also be adjusted for day or night driving.
Pull the tab for night driving to reduce glare. Push the tab
for daytime driving.
Outside Manual Mirrors
Adjust these mirrors by hand so that you can see a little
of the side of your vehicle when you are sitting in a
comfortable driving position.
Outside Power Mirrors
If your vehicle has power
mirrors, the selector switch
is located on the lower
left side of the instrument
panel.
You can only adjust the mirrors when the ignition switch
is in ON or ACC.
2-34

Entry Lighting
If your vehicle has remote keyless entry, it is equipped
with an entry lighting feature that controls your dome
lamp (and cargo lamp, if equipped). For the dome lamp
to operate as described below, the switch must be in
the middle position:
Your interior lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you press the UNLOCK button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
If you open any door, the lamps will stay on while
the door is open, then turn off automatically about
40 seconds after the last door is closed. If you press the
UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry transmitter
and don't open a door, the lamps will come on and
then turn off after about 40 seconds.
The lamps will turn off immediately if you turn the
ignition key to ON. When the ignition is on, the entry
lighting feature is inactive. The interior lamps will come
on only if they are turned on by the dome lamp
switch or one of the doors is opened.
When you press the LOCK button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, the interior lamps will come on for about
three seconds, and then shut off.
Reading Lamps
Your vehicle's inside rearview mirror may have reading
lamps.
Push the buttons on the bottom of the mirror to turn the
reading lamps on and off.
Cargo Lamp
Some four-door models are equipped with a cargo
lamp. The cargo lamp comes on when any door
is opened, and goes off when all doors are shut.

Here are some tips on night driving.
·Drive defensively.
·Don't drink and drive.
·Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
·Since you can't see as well, you may need to slow
down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.
·Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.
·In remote areas, watch for animals.
·If you're tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime.
But as we get older these differences increase.
A 50-year-old driver may require at least twice as much
light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
What you do in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes
will have less trouble adjusting to night. But if you're
driving, don't wear sunglasses at night. They may
cut down on glare from headlamps, but they also make
a lot of things invisible.You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even
several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark.
When you are faced with severe glare (as from a
driver who doesn't lower the high beams, or a vehicle
with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little.
Avoid staring directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all the glass on your
vehicle clean Ð inside and out. Glare at night is made
much worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside of
the glass can build up a ®lm caused by dust. Dirty glass
makes lights dazzle and ¯ash more than clean glass
would, making the pupils of your eyes contract
repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your eyes
moving; that way, it's easier to pick out dimly lighted
objects. Just as your headlamps should be checked
regularly for proper aim, so should your eyes be
examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night
blindness Ð the inability to see in dim light Ð and aren't
even aware of it.
