(toward rear of vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted
while set in the day position (toward windshield).

Outside MirrorÐPassenger's Side

side of your vehicle in the part of the mirror closest to the
vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the passenger side
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side mirror could cause you to collide
with another vehicle or other object. Use your inside
mirror when judging the size or distance of a vehicle
seen in this convex mirror.

steering column on the instrument panel, to adjust the
view obtained in the outside mirrors. Press the L or R
