Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1

Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
If your vehicle has this feature, pull the tab under the
mirror toward you to reduce glare from headlamps
behind you after dark. Push the tab away from you to
restore the mirror to the daytime position.
Outside Manual Mirrors
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors so you can see a
little of the side of your vehicle, and the area beside your
vehicle from a comfortable driving position. All mirrors
can be folded in to enter narrow passageways.
Outside Power Mirrors
If you have outside power mirrors, they can be adjusted
from the inside of the vehicle.
The control for this
feature is located on the
driver’s door.
Select the mirror you want to move by turning the
switch clockwise to adjust the passenger’s side mirror,
or counterclockwise to adjust the driver’s side mirror.
The center position is neutral.
Then, adjust the mirror by pressing the outer arrows on
the switch until the mirror is in the desired position.
2-45

Outside Convex Mirrors
Your vehicle has convex mirrors on the lower quarter of
both the driver’s and passenger’s side rearview mirrors.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see
more from the driver’s seat.
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your regular
outside mirrors (or your inside mirror, if you
have one) before changing lanes.
Outside Heated Mirrors
If your vehicle has this feature, your outside rearview
mirrors can be defrosted.
The switch for this feature
is located in the instrument
panel switchbank.
Push the bottom of the switch to turn the outside heated
rearview mirrors on. The switch indicator light will
come on and stay on whenever the outside heated
rearview mirrors are activated.
If your vehicle has a crew cab, your vehicle may be
equipped with a rear window defogger. It will also come
on each time the outside heated mirror feature is
activated. See “Rear Window Defogger” underClimate
Control System on page 3-20.
