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 Mirrors
=(Rear Window Defogger): Press to heat the
mirrors. See “Rear Window Defogger” underDual
Climate Control System
on page 4‑34for more
information.

This light also comes on green if the system detects a
left or right lane marking. It flashes, changes to amber,
