Auto fuel cutoff switch (if equipped)The auto fuel cutoff switch is located
on the driver’s side of the engine
compartment. In the event of a colli-
sion or sudden impact, the auto fuel
cutoff device cuts off the fuel supply.
If this device is activated, it must be
reset by pressing in on the top of the
switch before the engine can be
restarted.
MIRRORS Outside rearview mirror Be sure to adjust mirror angles
before driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both
left-hand and right-hand outside
rearview mirrors. The mirrors can be
adjusted remotely with the control
levers or remote switch, depending
on the type your vehicle has. The
mirror heads can be folded back to
prevent damage during an automatic
car wash or when passing in a nar-
row street.
✽ ✽NOTICEDo not scrape ice off the mirror
face; this may damage the surface of
the glass. If ice should restrict move-
ment of the mirror, do not force the
mirror for adjustment. To remove
ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge
or soft cloth with very warm water.
CAUTION
 The right outside rearview
mirror is convex. Objects seen
in the mirror are closer than
they appear.
 Use your interior rearview mir- ror or direct observation to
determine the actual distance
of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
WARNING
Before resetting the auto fuel
cutoff switch, the fuel line
should be checked for fuel
leaks.
