Outside Power Mirrors
The controls for the
outside power mirrors
are located on the
driver’s door armrest.
Press the left or right side of the selector switch
located beneath the control pad to choose the left
or right mirror. Keep the selector switch in the
center position when not adjusting either outside
mirror.
To adjust the mirror, press one of the four arrows
located on the control pad to move the mirror
in the direction you want it to go. Adjust each
outside mirror so that you can see a little of your
vehicle, and the area behind your vehicle.
Adjust each mirror so a little of the side of the
vehicle can be seen while sitting in a comfortable
driving position. These mirrors are designed to
break away when necessary.
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.
