The interior rear view mirror has two pivot points on the support arm
which lets you adjust the mirror up or down and from side to side.
WARNING:Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in
motion.
Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror
Your vehicle is equipped with an interior rear view mirror which has an

rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror
performance.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
