Tilt function for the passenger's mirror
To help you see the curb when backing into a
parking space, the surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. The knob must be in the P position
for this to happen.
You can adjust the tilted mirror surface by
turning the knob in the desired direction.
When you move out of reverse and into anoth-
er gear, the new mirror position is stored and
assigned to the key you are using.
The mirror goes back into its original position
once you drive forwa rd faster than 9 mph (15
km/h) or switch the ignition off.

WARNING
- Curved (i.e. convex) mirror surfaces in-
crease your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when seen
in a flat mirror. If you use this mirror to
estimate distances of following vehicles
when changing lanes, you could estimate
incorrectly and cause an accident.

Note
- If the mirror housing is moved uninten-
tionally (for example, while parking your
vehicle), then you must first fold the mi r-
ror electrically. Do not readjust the mir-
ror housing manually. You could damage
the motor which controls the mirror.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, you must fold the exterior mir-
rors in to reduce the risk of damage to
the mirrors. Never fold power folding ex-
terior mirrors* by hand. Only fold them
in and out using the power controls.
