Note
- Curved (i.e. convex) mirror surfaces in-
crease your field of view. Remembe r t hat
vehicles or ot her objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when
seen in a flat mirror. If you use this mir-
ror to est imate distances of following
vehicles when changing lanes, you could
estimate incorrect ly and cause an acci-
dent.
- If the mirror hous ing is moved uninten-
tionally (for example, while parking your
vehicle), then you must first fold the mir-
ror electrically. Do not readjust the mir-
ror hous ing manually. You could damage
the motor which controls the mirror.
- If you wash t he vehicle in an automatic
car wash, you must fold the exte rior mir-
rors in to redu ce the risk of damage to
the mirrors. Never fold power folding ex-
te rior mirrors* by hand . Only fold them
in and out using the power cont rols.
