OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS

16L282
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen
in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side. It is a
convex mirror with a curved surface. Any object seen in a
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in
a normal flat mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in "AUTO" mode, the
outside rear view mirrors also darken to reduce the reflection
of the headlights of the following vehicle. For details, see
"Inside rear view mirror" on page 126.
When you push the rear window and outside rear view mirror
defogger switch or operate the wipers, the heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface.
(See "Windshield wiper and washer switch" on page 28 and
"Rear window and outside rear view mirror defogger switch" on
page 32.)
