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.

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.
