¢ page 32 .
Driver exter io r mi rro r tilt funct ion
To help yo u see the curb when backing into a
parking space, the surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. The knob must be in the P position
for this to happen .
You can ad just the tilted mirror s urface by
turning the knob in the desired direction.

er gear, the new mirror position is stored and
assigned to the key you a re using.

-Curved ( i.e. convex) mirror s urfaces in­
crease your field of view . Remember that

ror electrically. Do not read just the mir­
ror housing man ually. You cou ld damage
the motor which controls the mirror.
