Outside mirrors
! Convex mirror (passenger side)
WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convex
mirror and farther away than when
viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use
the convex mirror to judge the
distance of vehicles behind you
when changing lanes. Use the inside
mirror (or glance backwards) to
determine the actual size and dis-
tance of objects that you view in
convex mirror.

!Remote control mirror switch
The remote control mirrors operate only
when the ignition switch is in the “ON ”or
“ Acc ”position.
1. Turn the knob to the “L ” side to adjust
the left-hand mirror or to the “R ” side to
adjust the right-hand mirror.
2. Move the knob in the direction you
want to move the mirror.
3. Return the knob to the neutral position
to prevent unintentional operation.
The mirrors can also be adjusted manu-
ally. !
Power folding mirror switch (ifequipped)
The power folding mirror switch operates
only when the ignition switch is in the “ON ”
or “Acc ”position.
To fold the outside mirrors, push the power
folding mirror switch. To unfold the mirrors,
push the switch again.
NOTE . When the temperature is low, the
outside mirrors may stop during opera-
tion. Push the switch again. When the
outside mirrors do not work by operat-
ing the switch, move the outside mir-
rors several times manually. This
makes it possible to operate them by
switch operation.. When you operate the power folding mirror switch continuously, it may not
work. This is not a malfunction. Oper-
ate after waiting for a short period oftime..
When you unfold the outside mirrors
manually, the mirrors may become
wobbly. Be sure to unfold the mirrors
by operating the switch. If the outside
mirrors are still wobbly, fold the mirrors
again and then unfold them by operat-
ing the switch again. Instruments and controls
