The power vent windows are
operated by a single switch located
on the instrument panel. Press and
hold the bottom of the switch to
open or the top of the switch to
close both vent windows.
A sound will be heard when opening

MIRRORS
Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the
mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically
adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the inside rear view mirror
since this may impair proper mirror performance.

mirror or

mirror.

Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window

These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Signal indicator mirrors (if equipped)

blinking yellow arrow. When the
park lamps are on, the blinking
arrow will be dimmer.
The arrow provides an additional
warning to other drivers that your
vehicle is about to turn.

will flash indicating people may be entering/exiting the vehicle.
Fold-away mirrors
Pull the side mirrors in carefully
when driving through a narrow
space, like an automatic car wash.
