MIRRORS
Outside Mirrors
Before driving, adjust the inside and
outside mirrors.
Mirror Type
Flat Type (Driver Side): flat surface
mirror.
Convex Type (Passenger Side): this
mirror has a slight curve.
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.
The outside mirrors may be equipped
with a heated mirror system. Refer to
“Climate Controls” for more information.
The perceived distance of objects in the
outer and inner regions of the wide
angle mirror is different.
Warning!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
passenger side 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 mirror.

Because heavy ice and snow can jam
the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown,
overheating and possible fire by a
circuit breaker. This mechanism will
automatically stop operation of the
blades, but only for about five minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch
and park off the road and remove the
snow and ice. After five minutes, turn
on the switch and the blades should
operate normally. If they do not resume
functioning, contact an Authorized
Dealer as soon as possible. Drive to the
side of the road and pull off the side of
the road to a safe location. Wait until
the weather clears before trying to drive
with the wipers inoperative.
Windshield Washer
Pull the lever toward you and hold it to
spray washer fluid.
With the wiper lever in theOFFor
intermittent position/ AUTOposition,
the wipers will operate continuously
until the lever is released.
Warning!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with defroster before and
during windshield washer use.
If the fluid level is normal and the
washer does not work, contact an
Authorized Dealer.
With headlight washers
When the headlights are on, the
headlight washers operate
automatically once every fifth time the
windshield washer operates.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Operating Tips
The air conditioning system will only
operate with the engine running.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged while the engine is off, do
not leave the fan control dial on for
extended periods of time.
To improve system efficiency, clear all
obstructions (leaves, snow and ice)
from the hood and the air inlet in the
grille.
Use the air conditioning system to
defog the windows and dehumidify the
air.
Recirculation mode should be used
when driving through tunnels, while in a
traffic jam, or when you would like to
quickly cool the interior by shutting off
the exterior vents.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windscreen defrosting.
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, and
then run the air conditioning system.
To keep the internal parts lubricated
and the system running smoothly, run
the air conditioner about 10 minutes at
least once a month.
