Outside mirrors

Objects viewed in the outside mirror on the passenger side are closer than they appear. Be careful when moving to the right. Using only this mirror could cause an accident. Use the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to properly judge distances to other objects.

Manual control type (if so equipped)
The outside mirror can be moved in any direction for a better rear view.

Electric control type (if so equipped)
The outside mirror remote control only operates when the ignition switch is placed in the ACC or ON position.
Rotate the control lever to select the right or left mirror. Adjust the mirror to the desired position by moving the control lever.
Heated mirrors (Canada only) (if so equipped)
Some outside mirrors can be heated to defrost, defog, or de-ice for improved visibility. Push the rear window defroster switch to activate the heating function. Push the switch again to deactivate, or the heating function will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes.
