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.
Power Mirrors — If Equipped
The power mirror switch is located on the center of the
instrument panel, below the climate controls. A rotary knob
selects the left mirror, right mirror or off position.After selecting a mirror, move the knob in the same
direction you want the mirror to move. Use the center off
position to guard against accidentally moving a mirror
position.
Heated Mirrors — If Equipped
These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This
feature will be activated whenever you turn on the
rear window defroster (if equipped). Refer to “Climate
Controls” for further information.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer — If Equipped
A rotary switch on the center portion of the control lever
(located on the right side of the steering column) controls
the operation of the rear wiper/washer function.Rotate the switch upward to the first detent position
for rear wiper operation.Rotate the switch upward past the first detent to
activate the rear washer. The washer pump and
the wiper will continue to operate as long as the
switch is held. Upon release, the wiper will cycle
two to three times before returning to the set position. If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned to
the LOCK position, the wiper will automatically return to
the “park” position. When the vehicle is restarted, the
wiper will resume function at whichever position the
switch is set at.
