EXTERIOR FEATURES
MIRRORS
This motorhome is equipped with remote-controlled, exterior, rear-view mir-
rors (Figure 11-7).
Always adjust the mirrors for maximum rear visibility prior to driving. If an-
other driver is to drive, be sure the mirrors are readjusted to accommodate the
second driver.
The 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 direc-
tion 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 manu-
facturer’s literature available in the Owner’s Information Package. However, this brief overview of mir-
ror adjustment can begin the process: The top portion of the mirror should be adjusted horizontally
so that you can see your own motorhome in the one-inch surface
closest to the motorhome. 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 motorhome 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 red “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.
