Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1
Outside Power Mirrors
Vehicles with outside power mirrors have controls
located on the driver door.
To adjust the mirrors:
1. Turn the control knob left or right to select the
driver’s or passenger mirror.
2. Move the control knob to the left or right or up or
down to position the mirror to see a little of the
outside of the vehicle.
3. After adjusting the position of the mirrors, turn the
knob to the center off position so that the mirrors
do not move.
If the end of travel position in any direction of the mirror
is reached, it will enter a ratcheting mode. This action
is harmless. It is a warning that the mirror can go
no further. To stop this action, back the mirror up by
moving the knob in the opposite direction.
Manually fold the mirrors inward to prevent damage
when going through an automatic car wash. To
fold, push the mirrors toward the vehicle. To return the
mirrors to their original position, push outward.
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 the right. Check the inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before changing
lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press to heat the
mirrors. See “Rear Window Defogger” underDual
Climate Control System on page 3-19orDual Automatic
Climate Control System on page 3-22for more
information.
