Power Remote Control Mirror

The control is located on
the driver’s door armrest.

Move the upper control to the left or right to choose
the mirror, then press the arrows on the control pad to
adjust the mirror.

Convex Outside Mirror

A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see
more from the driver’s seat.

CAUTION:

A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.

Heated Outside Rearview Mirror

When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver’s and passenger’s outside
rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice, snow and
condensation. See “Rear Window Defogger” in the
Index for more information.

Electrochromic Rearview Outside Mirror

Only the driver’s side outside mirror will adjust for the
glare of headlamps behind you. See “Electrochromic
Day/Night Inside Rearview Mirror” earlier in this section.
