ignition, both the power door locks and Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) will not function.

CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during cleaning, never
spray any cleaning solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth and wipe the
mirror clean.
ELECTRIC REMOTE-CONTROL MIRRORS
Both of the outside mirrors can be adjusted by using the
remote controls mounted on the driver’s door panel.
The rotary knob has three separate positions: L for the
Left mirror; O for Off; and R for the Right mirror.
After selecting a mirror, move the knob in the same
direction you want the mirror to move. When finished,
return the knob to the center Off position to guard
against accidentally moving a mirror position.

Pushing down the SET DECEL button once will result in
a 1 mph (2 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is
pushed, speed decreases.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the system
can’t maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. An accident could be the result. Don’t use
Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.
TO ACCELERATE FOR PASSING:
Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control on Hills
NOTE:The speed control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so
it may be preferable to drive without speed control.

HomeLinkreplaces up to three remote controls (hand-
held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage
door openers, motorized gates, lighting, or home security
