Power Mirrors
The power mirror controls are located on the driver ’s
door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of a mirror select
switch and a four-way mirror control switch. To adjust a
mirror, push the mirror select switch to either the L (left)
or R (right) to select the mirror you need to adjust.
Using the mirror control switch, push on any of the four
arrows for the direction that you want the mirror to

convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side 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.Power Mirror Switches
