Mirrors
Exterior Mirrors
WARNING: Before driving, adjust the
mirrors to give the best possible
view of road and traffic conditions.
WARNING: In some markets, the
exterior mirrors have convex glass
fitted. This type of mirror enlarges
the field of vision, but reduces the
size of the image. This means that
objects are closer than they appear.
To avoid misjudging the distance to
vehicles travelling behind and
possibly causing an accident, check
the actual distance of vehicles
behind you before changing
direction.
The exterior mirrors control is located on
the dashboard between the steering wheel
and the center console.
Adjusting Mirrors
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Rotate the control to the left (1) to
adjust the left-hand mirror or to the
right (2) to adjust the right-hand
mirror.
3. Move the control up, down, left and
right to adjust the mirror to the
desired position.
Mirror Dipping In Reverse Gear
The exterior mirrors can be set to dip when
reverse gear is engaged. This provides a
view of the ground to the rear of the
vehicle. See Reverse Mirror Dip, page 4.14.
Heated mirrors
Exterior mirrors are heated when the
heated mirror button is pressed and the
engine is running. They are also heated
when the ambient temperature is below
41°F (5°C).
