Electrochromic mirror (ECM) (if
equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati‐
cally controls the glare from the head‐
lights of the vehicles behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi‐
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir‐
ror senses the light level around the ve‐
hicle, and automatically controls the
headlight glare from the vehicles be‐
hind you.
When the vehicle is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shifter dial is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatical‐
ly go to the brightest setting in order
to improve the drivers view behind the
vehicle.
CAUTION
When cleaning the mirror, use a pa‐
per towel or similar material damp‐
ened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror. It may cause the liquid clean‐
er to enter the mirror housing.
Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust the mirror angles be‐
fore driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand outside rearview
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted
remotely with the remote switch. The
mirror heads can be folded back to pre‐
vent damage during an automatic car
wash or when passing through a nar‐
row street.
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.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror face;
this may damage the surface of the
glass. If ice should restrict the move‐
ment 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.
CAUTION
If the mirror is jammed with ice, do
not adjust the mirror by force. Use
an approved spray de-icer (not radi‐
ator antifreeze) to release the fro‐
