Driver Position
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how
to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight.
To see how, see “Seats” in the Index.3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across
you. Do not let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let
the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull
the belt across you more slowly.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until
it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is
secure. If the belt is not long enough,
seeSafety Belt Extender on page 37.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle
the safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
5. Move the shoulder belt height adjuster to the
height that is right for you. Improper shoulder
belt height adjustment could reduce the
effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash. See
Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment on page 29.

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
The driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off settings on the automatic
dimming rearview mirror.
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. This mirror does not
have a dimming feature.
Outside Parallel Park Assist Mirror
This feature assists the driver by improving
rear obstacle detection and is useful in viewing the
curb when parallel parking.
Press the left or right mirror symbol on the
selector control to choose the driver or passenger
outside mirror. When the vehicle is shifted into
REVERSE (R), the selected mirror will tilt to
a factory programmed position. If further mirror
adjustment is needed press the arrows located on
the outside mirror control pad. If the outside
mirror selector switch is in the middle position,
neither outside mirror will move.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R),
and a ve-second delay has occurred, the
mirror will return to its original position. The delay
prevents movement of the mirror if multiple
gear transitions REVERSE (R) to DRIVE (D) to
REVERSE (R) occur during a parallel parking
maneuver.
