Electric type (if equipped)

  1. Outside rearview mirror switch

  2. Mirror adjustment control

Operation

  1. Move the outside rearview mirror switch (1) to select the left or right side of the mirror.

WARNING
  • The outside rearview mirror is convex. Objects seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.

  • Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to determine the actual distance of following vehicles when changing lanes.

  • Do not adjust or fold the outside rearview mirrors whilst the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident which could cause DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, or property damage.

CAUTION
  • Do not scrape ice off the mirror face; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrict the movement of the mirror, do not force the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a deicer spray, or a sponge or soft cloth with warm water.

  • If the mirror is jammed with ice, do not adjust the mirror by force. Use an approved spray de-icer (not radiator antifreeze) to release the frozen mechanism or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

  • The mirrors stop moving when they reach the maximum adjusting angles, but the motor continues to operate whilst the switch is pressed. Do not press the switch longer than necessary, the motor may be damaged.

  • Do not attempt to adjust the outside rearview mirror by hand. Doing so may damage the parts.
