Trailer Towing Mirrors — If Equipped

These mirrors are designed with an adjustable mirror
head to provide a greater vision range when towing
extra-wide loads. To change position inboard or out-
board, the mirror head should be rotated (flipped in or
out).

NOTE:

Fold the trailer towing mirrors rearward prior to

entering an automated car wash.

A small blindspot mirror is located next to main mirror
and can be adjusted separately.
