Mirrors

52n
Exterior mirrors
1 Switch for 4-way adjustment
2 Selection switch for changing
between mirrors
You can also adjust the mirrors manu-
ally by pressing against the outer edges
of their lenses.
The mirror on the passenger's
side features a lens with a more
convex surface than the mirror installed
on the driver's side. When estimating
the distance between yourself and
other traffic, bear in mind that the ob-
jects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. Estimations of the
distance to following traffic should
therefore not be regarded as precise.
This is also true for the aspherical sec-
tion of both exterior mirrors.<
Electric defrosting
Both mirrors are automatically defrosted
with the ignition key in position 2.
Interior rearview mirror
To reduce glare from behind when driv-
ing at night, tilt the small lever forward.
Lighted vanity mirror *
Fold down the sun visor and slide the
cover panel to the side as required.
The mirror lamps operate in ignition key
positions 1 and 2.
Sun visors
These can be folded down toward the
windshield or swiveled out against the
side windows.
