Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
While sitting in a comfortable driving position,
adjust the mirror so you can see clearly behind
your vehicle. Grip the mirror in the center to move
it up or down and side to side. The day/night
adjustment can lessen glare from the headlamps
behind your vehicle. Pull the tab forward for
daytime use; push it back for night use.
Outside Power Mirrors
The controls, located on
the driver’s door,
operate both outside
rearview mirrors.Push the top control to the left or right to choose
either the driver’s or passenger’s outside
rearview mirror. Leave the control in the center
position to prevent moving the mirrors once
they are adjusted.
Use the arrows on the bottom control to adjust the
position of each mirror. Adjust each mirror so
that you can see the side of your vehicle and the
area behind it, while sitting in a comfortable
driving position.
Both outside mirrors can be folded forward or
rearward to prevent damage when going through
car washes or conned spaces.
143

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.Outside Heated Mirrors
The outside rearview mirrors will heat to help clear
them of ice, snow, and condensation when the rear
window defogger is turned on. See “Rear Window
Defogger” inClimate Control System on page 193
orDual Climate Control System on page 197.

steering quickly enough, your vehicle may
straighten out. Always be ready for a second skid
if it occurs.
Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow,
ice, gravel, or other material is on the road.
For safety, you will want to slow down and adjust
your driving to these conditions. It is important
to slow down on slippery surfaces because
stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control
more limited.
While driving on a surface with reduced traction,
try your best to avoid sudden steering,
acceleration, or braking, including reducing vehicle
speed by shifting to a lower gear. Any sudden
changes could cause the tires to slide. You may
not realize the surface is slippery until your
vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning
clues — such as enough water, ice, or packed
snow on the road to make a mirrored
surface — and slow down when you have
any doubt.
Remember: Any Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
helps avoid only the braking skid.Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to
be impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Do not drink and drive.
Adjust the inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
Since you cannot see as well, you may need
to slow down and keep more space between
you and other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.
Your vehicle’s headlamps can light up only so
much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe
place and rest.
