headlights of vehicles behind you at night.
Use the day position

hours.
WARNING
Use the night position only when neces-
sary, because it reduces rear view clarity.

The outside mirror remote control will operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
position.
Move the small switch
1to select the right or left
mirror. Adjust each mirror to the desired position
using the large switch
