Outside Power Mirrors
Controls for the outside
power mirrors are located
on the driver door armrest.
1. Press the left or right side of the selector switch
located beneath the control pad, to select the
driver or passenger mirror.
2. Press one of the four buttons located on the control
pad to move the mirror to the desired direction.
3. Adjust each outside mirror so that a little of the
vehicle and the area behind it can be seen.
Keep the selector switch in the center position when not

Outside Convex Mirror
{
WARNING:
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 MirrorsFor vehicles with heated mirrors:=
(Rear Window Defogger):Press to heat the
outside rearview mirrors. See “Rear Window Defogger”
underClimate Control System on page 4-16for more
