Important
Objects viewed in convex mirrors appear smaller
and farther away than they actually are.
Mirrors
This motor home is equipped with convex, remote-controlled, exterior, rear-view
mirrors (Figure 9-9). Always adjust the mirrors for maximum rear visibility prior to
driving. If another driver is to drive, be sure the mirrors are readjusted to
accommodate the second driver.
These standard chrome mirrors are adjusted by using the multi-directional switch
located on the dashboard. Select the mirror to be adjusted by pointing the arrow
in the direction of that mirror. Move the control in the direction of movement
desired to obtain the best view for that mirror. The adjustment control moves the
top half of both mirrors. The bottom half of each mirror is convex and is
adjusted manually.
Detailed instructions for these manual adjustments can be found in the manufacturer’s literature available in the
Owner’s Information Package. However, this brief overview of mirror adjustment can begin the process: The
top portion of the mirror should be adjusted horizontally so that you can see your own motor home in the one inch
surface closest to the motor home; the remaining portion of the mirror now permits you to see the road
behind you. The mirror should be adjusted vertically so that you can see the rear bumper on the bottom of the
plane portion of the mirror.
The convex mirrors should be adjusted horizontally so that you can see your own motor home in 1/3 of the
mirror. These convex mirrors should then be adjusted vertically to allow you to see any other vehicles
alongside your motor home.
These mirrors also contain heating elements to defog or de-ice the mirror glass during cold weather operation.
The “on/off” switch for this feature is located by the adjustment control. Further adjustment of the mirror
may be necessary at the swivel portion of the mirror arm.
