Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust the mirror angles before driving.
The mirrors can be adjusted remotely with the control levers or remote switch, depending on the type of mirror control installed. The mirror heads can be folded back to prevent damage during an automatic car wash or when passing through a narrow street.
Rearview mirrors
-
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 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.
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.
Adjusting the outside rearview mirrors
The electric remote control mirror switch allows you to adjust the position of the left and right outside rearview mirrors.

-
Move the R or L switch (1) to select the right side mirror or the left side mirror.
-
Press a corresponding point (▲) on the mirror adjustment control (2) to position the selected mirror up, down, left or right.
-
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.
