The outside mirrors are heated to re-
move fog and frost. With the ignition
switch ON (II), turn on the heaters
by pressing the button. The light in
the button comes on as a reminder.
Press the button again to turn the
heaters off.

When you finish, move the
selector switch to the center (off)
position. This turns off the
adjustment button so you can’t
move a mirror out of position by
accidentally bumping the button.

Move the mirror right, left, up or
down by pushing the adjustment
button in that direction.

Outside mirror positions can be
stored in the driving position
memory system (see page

).
