Power vent windows
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle and do not let
children play with the power vent windows. They may seriously
injure themselves.
When closing the power vent windows, you should verify they
are free of obstructions and ensure that children and/or pets are
not in the proximity of the window openings.
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
and closing the vent windows. This
is a normal noise that informs you
the windows are operating.
EXTERIOR 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.
