MIRRORS
INSIDE DAY/NIGHT MIRROR
A two-point pivot system allows for horizontal and
vertical adjustment of the mirror. Adjust the mirror to
center on the view through the rear window.
Headlight glare can be reduced by moving the small
control lever under the mirror to the night position
(lever flipped toward the rear of vehicle). The mirror
should be adjusted while set in the day position (to-
ward the windshield).
(fig. 43)
AUTOMATIC DIMMING MIRROR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight glare
from vehicles behind you. This feature will be defaulted
on, and only be disabled when the vehicle is moving in
reverse.
(fig. 44)
To avoid damage to the mirror during
cleaning, never spray any cleaning solu-
tion directly onto the mirror. Apply the
solution onto a clean cloth and wipe the mirror
clean.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mir-
ror(s) to center on the adjacent lane of traffic and a
slight overlap of the view obtained from the inside
mirror.
NOTE:The passenger side convex outside mirror will
give a much wider view to the rear, and especially of the
lane next to your vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
passenger si

de 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. Failure
to follow this warning may result in serious injury
or death.

The power mirror switch is located on the driver's
door trim panel.
