MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view
through the rear window. A two-point pivot system
allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the
mirror. The mirror should be adjusted while set in the
day position (toward windshield).
Annoying headlight glare from vehicles behind you can
be reduced by moving the small control under the mirror
to the night position (toward rear of vehicle).

Exterior Mirrors Folding Feature
All exterior mirrors are hinged and may be moved either
forward or rearward to resist damage. The hinges have
three detent positions; full forward, full rearward, and
normal.
Outside Mirrors
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirrors
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the right side
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your right
side mirror could cause you to collide with another
vehicle or other objects. Use your inside mirror when
judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the
right side mirror.
Heated Remote Control Mirrors Ð If Equipped
These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This
feature is activated whenever you turn on the rear
window defrost.
Power Remote Control Outside Mirrors

driver's door trim panel above the window switches.

Rain Sensitive Wiper System Ð If Equipped
The rain sensitive wiper system provides you with the
convenience of automatically detecting moisture on your
windshield and turning on the wipers at the appropriate
speed. The Rain Sensor is located above the rear view
mirror and reacts to any moisture present in the area of
the sensor.To activate the rain sensitive wiper system, turn the front
wiper control lever to AUTO. When you turn the lever to
AUTO, the wipers will operate a single wipe cycle. The
wipers will also cycle once when you start the vehicle if
the lever was left in AUTO.
There are five AUTO positions on the lever to allow you
to select system sensitivity that best suits you. The lowest
position (closest to OFF) is the least sensitive to rain and
the highest position is the most sensitive. If you select a
low sensitivity position on the control lever, the system
will be slower to react to rain and wipe only after some
rain accumulates on the windshield. If you select a high
sensitivity position, the system will be very quick to react
to rain drops and will wipe more often. If it is raining
steadily, the wipers will wipe continuously regardless of
what sensitivity the lever is. If the rain is heavy, the
wipers will operate in high speed. Every time you move
the lever to a higher sensitivity, the wipers will immedi-
ately operate a single wipe cycle.

Interior Care
Use MopartFabric Cleaner to clean fabric upholstery
and carpeting.
Use MopartVinyl Cleaner to clean vinyl upholstery.
MopartVinyl Cleaner is specifically recommended for
interior vinyl trim.
Do not use silicon based cleaning products on leather
seats. They could cause cracking of the seat leather.
Leather Seat Care & Cleaning
Leather is best preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an
abrasive and damage the leather surface and should be
removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn soils can
be removed easily with a soft cloth and MopartTotalClean. Care should be taken to avoid soaking the leather
with any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning
fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia based cleaners
to clean the leather. Application of a leather conditioner is
not required to maintain the original condition.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis
with any commercial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use caution when
cleaning inside rear windows equipped with electric
defrosters. Do not use scrapers or other sharp instru-
ments which may scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray cleaner on the
towel or rag that you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
