MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view
through the rear window. A two-point pivot system
allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the
mirror. Annoying headlight glare can be reduced by moving the
small control under the mirror to the night position
(toward rear of vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted
while set in the day position (toward windshield).
Inside Automatic Dimming Compass/Temperature
Mirror — If Equipped
The automatic day/night mirror is equipped with three
buttons: the left switch for the left LED lamp, the right
switch for the right side LED lamp and the center switch
for the compass/temperature function. Pressing the left
and right switches simultaneously for more than 5 sec-
onds will turn the auto dim function on or off. If the
feature is turned off, it will automatically turn back on
with the next ignition cycle. A green light next to the right
button will indicate when the dimming feature is acti-
vated active. The mirror also senses the backup lamp
circuit, and will automatically disable its self-dimming
feature whenever the transmission gear selector is in the
R (Reverse) position.
Adjusting Rearview Mirror
52 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
To set the variance: Turn the ignition ON, and press and
hold the center button for 3 to 6 seconds. The last
variance zone number will be displayed. Each press of
the center button will select a new variance zone. When
the proper zone is selected, wait 5 seconds to resume
normal operation.
Outside Mirrors
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s)
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.
Outside Rear View Mirror
56 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down and the side bars removed as you lose the protec-
tion these structural elements can provide.
NOTE: Before lowering windshield, disconnect the elec-
trical connector for the inside Compass/Temperature
mirror (if equipped).
NOTE: The windshield wiper arm and blade assemblies
must be removed prior to lowering the windshield, this
can be done by sliding out the attachment clip and gently
rocking the arm until it loosens, the wiper arms must be
returned to their “Park” positions when the windshield is
returned to its upright position.
If required for certain off-road uses, the side bars can be
removed and the windshield folded down. However, the
protection afforded by these features is then lost. If you
remove the side bars and fold down the windshield,
drive slowly and cautiously. It is recommended that the speed of the vehicle be limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), with
low range operation preferred, if you are driving off-road
with the windshield folded down.
Raise the windshield and reinstall the side bars as soon as
the task that required their removal is completed and
before you return to on-road driving. Both you and your
passenger should wear seat belts at all times, on-road and
off-road, regardless of whether the windshield is raised
or folded down.
Outside rear view mirrors are mounted on the doors. If
you choose to remove the doors, see your authorized
dealer for a replacement cowl-mounted outside mirror.
Federal law requires outside mirrors on vehicles for
on-road use.
NOTE:
If the doors are removed, the courtesy lights will
remain on. To turn these lights off, remove fuse #4 in the
fuse panel. Refer to “Fuse Panel” in Section 7 of this
manual. (See page 305 for more information.)
