hold the steering wheel, push down the
lock release lever, tilt the steering
wheel to the desired angle and return
the lever to its original position.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing

occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.

see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside

seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.

side rear view mirror defogger switch, the
heater panels in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the mirror sur-
face. (See “Rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers and windshield wip-
er de−icer” on page 128 in Section 1 −5.)
