Folding outside mirror
WARNING
Always return the outside mirrors to the
driving position before you start driving:
Driving with the outside mirrors folded in is
dangerous. Your rear view will be
restricted, and you could have an accident.
Do not touch a power folding outside
mirror while it is moving:
Touching the power folding outside mirror
when it is moving is dangerous. Your hand
could be pinched and injured or the mirror
could be damaged.
Use the switch to set the mirror to the
on-road position:
Setting the power folding outside mirror to
the on-road position by hand is dangerous.
The mirror will not lock in position and will
prevent effective rearview visibility.
Only operate the power folding outside
mirror with the vehicle safely parked:
Operating the power folding outside mirror
while the vehicle is moving is dangerous.
Wind blast on the mirror will cause them to
collapse and you will be unable to return it
to the on-road position, preventing
rearview visibility.
The ignition must be switched to ACC or
ON position.
To fold, rotate the outside mirror switch.
