the mirrors fold out .
_& WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex or asphe­
ric*) enlarge the field of vision. However,
they make objects in the mirror appear sma ller and farther away. Your may est i­
mate incorrectly when you use these m ir­
rors to gauge your d istance from the
vehicles behind you when changing lanes -
accident risk!
(D Note
- For vehicles with power folding exterior
mirrors*: If the m irror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as an im­
pact when maneuvering), you must use
the power folding function to fold the mir ror a ll the way out. You will hear a
l oud noise when the mi rrors are latched
back in place. The mirror housing must
not be moved back into place by hand
because this would affect the mirror
mechan ism.
- Applies to vehicles witho ut power fold­
i ng exterior mirro rs:
If the mirror hous­
ing was moved by outside forces (s uch as
i n impact d uring maneuvering), you
must move the mirror housing back into
place by hand.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, you must fold the exterior m ir­
rors in to reduce the r isk of damage to
the mi rrors. Never fold power foldi ng ex-
