WARNING!(Continued)
• Never put floor mats or other floor cover-
ings on top of already installed floor mats.
Additional floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal area and
interfere with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a regular basis.
Always properly reinstall and secure floor
mats that have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall
into the driver foot well while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
(Continued)WARNING!(Continued)
• If required, mounting posts must be prop-
erly installed, if not equipped from the fac-
tory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat installation
or mounting can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the vehicle.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should
Make Outside the Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects lodged in the tread.
Inspect the tread and sidewall for cuts and
cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for proper
pressure. Lights
Have someone observe the operation of exte-
rior lights while you work the controls. Check
turn signal and high beam indicator lights on
the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching, and lock-
ing.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight park-
ing for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid
leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if
fuel, power steering fluid, or brake fluid leaks
are suspected, the cause should be located
and corrected immediately.

MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
A single ball joint mirror is provided in the
vehicle. It is a twist on mirror that has a fixed
position. The mirror head can be adjusted up,
down, left, and right for various drivers. The
mirror should be adjusted to center on the view
through the rear window.
Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can
be reduced by moving the small control under
the mirror to the night position (toward the rear
of the vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted
while set in the day position (toward the wind-
shield).
Automatic Dimming Mirror —
If Equipped
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight
glare from vehicles behind you. You can turn
the feature on or off by pressing the button at
the base of the mirror. A light in the button will
illuminate to indicate when the dimming feature
is activated. The mirror is twisted on the wind-
shield button counterclockwise and requires no
tools for mounting.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during clean-
ing, never spray any cleaning solution directly
onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto a clean
cloth and wipe the mirror clean.
Outside MirrorsTo receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside
mirrors to center on the adjacent lane of traffic
with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the pas-
senger side convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than they really are. Relying
too much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide with another
vehicle or other object. Use your inside mirror
when judging the size or distance of a vehicle
seen in the passenger side convex mirror.
Some vehicles will not have a convex passen-
ger side mirror.

Outside Mirrors Folding FeatureAll outside mirrors are hinged and may be
moved either forward or rearward to resist
damage. The hinges have three detent posi-
tions: full forward, full rearward and normal.
Outside Automatic Dimming
Mirrors — If Equipped
The driver and passenger outside mirrors will
automatically adjust for glare from vehicles
behind you. This feature is controlled by the
inside automatic dimming mirror and can be
turned on or off by pressing the button at the
base of the inside mirror. The mirrors will auto-
matically adjust for headlight glare when the
inside mirror adjusts.
Outside Power MirrorsThe power mirror switch is located on the
driver-side door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of mirror
select buttons and a four-way mirror control
switch. To adjust a mirror, press the mirror
select button for the mirror that you want to
adjust. Using the mirror control switch, press on
any of the four arrows for the direction that you
want the mirror to move.Power mirror preselected positions can be con-
trolled by the optional Memory Seat Feature.
Refer to “Driver Memory Seat” in “Understand-
ing the Features of Your Vehicle” for further
information.
Power Folding Outside Mirrors —
If Equipped
The switch for the power folding mirrors is
located between the power mirror select
switches (L and R).Press the switch once and the mirrors will fold
in, pressing the switch a second time will return
the mirrors to the normal driving position.
NOTE:
Pressing the power folding mirror switch for
more than four seconds, or if the vehicle
speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h) will
disable the folding feature.
If the mirrors are in the folded position, and
vehicle speed is equal or greater than 5 mph
(8 km/h), they will automatically unfold.
The mirrors must be fully open or closed for this
feature to operate properly, and must be manu-
ally opened or closed if necessary.
Heated Mirrors — If Equipped
These mirrors are heated to melt frost
or ice. This feature is activated when-
ever you turn on the rear window de-
froster. Refer to “Rear Window Features” in
“Understanding the Features of Your Vehicle”
for further information.

Illuminated Vanity MirrorsTo access an illuminated vanity mirror, flip down
one of the visors.
Lift the cover to reveal the mirror. The light will
turn on automatically.
Sun Visor Extension — If EquippedThis feature has a pull out extension on the sun
visor for increased coverage.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING —
IF EQUIPPED
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses
two radar-based sensors, located inside the
rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licens-
able vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motor-
cycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from
the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will be momentarily illuminated in both
outside rear view mirrors to let the driver know
that the system is operational. The BSM system
sensors operate when the vehicle is in anyforward gear or REVERSE and enters stand by
mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately
one lane on both sides of the vehicle (11 ft or
3.35 m). The zone starts at the outside rear view
mirror and extends approximately 20 ft (6 m) to
the rear of the vehicle. The BSM system moni-
tors the detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle when the vehicle speed has reached
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and
will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
•
The BSM system does NOT alert the
driver about rapidly approaching vehicles
that are outside the detection zones.
•
The BSM system detection zone DOES
NOT change if your vehicle is towing a
trailer. Therefore, visually verify the adja-
cent lane is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane change. If the
trailer or other object (i.e., bicycle, sports
equipment) extends beyond the side of
your vehicle, this may result in the BSM
warning light remaining illuminated the
entire time the vehicle is in a forward gear.Illuminated Vanity Mirror
Rear Detection Zones
69

The area on the rear fascia where the radar
sensors are located must remain free of snow,
ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the
BSM system can function properly. Do not
block the area of the rear fascia where the radar
sensors are located with foreign objects
(bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in
the detection zones by illuminating the BSM
warning light located in the outside mirrors.The BSM system can also be configured to
sound an audible (chime) alert and reduce the
radio volume to notify the driver of objects that
have entered the detection zones. Refer to
“Modes Of Operation” for further information.
The BSM system monitors the detection zone
from three different entry points (Side, Rear,
Front) while driving to see if an alert is neces-
sary. The BSM system will issue an alert during
these types of zone entries.Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes
from either side of the vehicle.
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle
on either side and enter the rear detection zone
with a relative speed of less than 30 mph
(48 km/h).
