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 of mirror control installed.
The mirror heads can be folded back
to prevent damage during an auto-
matic car wash or when passing in a
narrow street.

face; this may damage the surface of

ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge
or soft cloth with very warm water.

Electric type (if equipped)
The electric day/night rearview mir-
ror automatically controls the glare
from the headlights of the car behind
you in nighttime or low light driving
conditions. The sensor mounted in
the mirror senses the light level
around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically
controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into reverse (R), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
✽

When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material

spray glass cleaner directly on the

cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
