Section 2 Features and Controls

Outside Power Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors
are located on the
driver’s door armrest.
Press the left or right side of the selector switch located
beneath the control pad to choose the left or right
mirror. Keep the selector switch in the center position
when not adjusting either outside mirror.
To adjust the mirror, press one of the four arrows
located on the control pad to move the mirror in the
direction you want it to go. Adjust each outside mirror
so that you can see a little of your vehicle, and the
area behind your vehicle.
Adjust each mirror so a little of the side of the vehicle
can be seen while sitting in a comfortable driving
position. These mirrors are designed to break away
when necessary.
Outside Convex Mirror
{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 lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from
the driver’s seat. It also makes things appear farther
away than they really are.
