Mirrors
Outside Mirrors
Check the mirror angles before driving.
Mirror type
Flat type (driver's side).
Flat surface mirror.
Convex type (front passenger side).
The mirror has single curvature on its surface.
WARNING:
Be sure to look over your shoulder
before changing lanes:
Changing lanes without taking into
account the actual distance of the
vehicle in the convex mirror is
dangerous. You could have a serious
accident. What you see in the convex
mirror is closer than it appears.
Power mirror
The ignition switch must be in the ACC or ON position.
To adjust:
1. Move the selector switch to the left or
right to choose the left or right side
mirror.
2. Depress the mirror switch in the appropriate direction.
After adjusting the mirror, lock the control by moving the selector switch to the middle position.
Manual control mirror
To adjust, move the mirror's control lever, just inside the door.
Folding the mirror
Fold the outside mirror rearward until it is flush with the vehicle.
WARNING:
Always return the outside mirrors to
the driving position before you start
driving:
Driving with the outside mirrors
folded in is dangerous. Your rear view
will be restricted, and you could have
an accident.

Reducing glare from headlights

Push the lever forward for day driving.
Pull it back to reduce glare from headlights.
WARNING:
Do not stack cargo or objects higher
than the seatbacks:
Cargo stacked higher than the
seatbacks is dangerous. It can block
your view in the rearview mirror,
which might cause you to hit another
car when changing lanes.
