Features of your vehicle
Side View Mirrors
Be sure to adjust mirror angles before
driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand side view mirrors.
The mirrors can be adjusted remotely
with the remote switch. The mirror heads
can be folded back to prevent damage
during an automatic car wash or when
passing in a narrow street.
Blind spot mirror (if equipped)
The blind spot mirror (BSM) is supple-
mental mirror to help reduce a driver's
blind spot that will show the rear side ter-
ritory of your vehicle. The blind spot mir-
ror is equipped with the left-hand side
view mirror.
WARNING - Rearview mir-
rors
The right side view mirror is con-vex. Objects seen in the mirror
are closer than they appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to deter-
mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changing
lanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirrorface; this may damage the surfaceof the glass. If ice should restrictmovement of the mirror, do notforce the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a deicer spray, or asponge or soft cloth with warmwater.
CAUTION
If the mirror is jammed with ice, donot adjust the mirror by force. Usean approved spray de-icer (not radi-ator antifreeze) to release thefrozen mechanism or move thevehicle to a warm place and allowthe ice to melt.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the side view
mirrors while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of control,
and an accident which could cause
death, serious injury or property
damage.

Always check the surrounding

WARNING- Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
Drinking and driving is dangerous.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Driving
while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous
than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or
take drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking drugs,
don't drive. Do not ride with a driv-
er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.
WARNING
When you intend to park or stop
the vehicle with the engine on, be
careful not to depress the accel-
erator pedal for a long period of
time. It may overheat the engine
or exhaust system and cause fire.
When you make a sudden stop or turn the steering wheel rapidly,
loose objects may drop on the
floor and it could interfere with
the operation of the foot pedals,
possibly causing an accident.
Keep all things in the vehicle
safely stored.
If you do not focus on driving, it may cause an accident. Be care-
ful when operating items that
may distract from such as audio
or heater controls. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always drive safely with full atten-
tion to the task of driving.
WARNING
All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is mov-
ing. Refer to "Seat belts" in section
3 for more information on their
proper use.
