MIRRORS
Inside rearview mirror
Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to the centre on the
view through the rear window.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.
Day/night rearview mirror
Make this adjustment before you
start driving and whilst the day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlamps of
the vehicles behind you during night
driving.
Remember that you lose some
rearview clarity in the night position.
NOTICEMake sure your line of sight is
not obstructed. Do not place
objects in the rear seat, cargo
area, or behind the rear head-
rests which could interfere with
your vision through the rear
window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during
an accident or deployment of
the air bag, do not modify the
rearview mirror and do not
install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror whilst
driving. This may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
